When does the new tyrannical BATFE “Engaged in the Business” as a Dealer in Firearms “rule” begin?

Not to criminals of course because they’ve never followed the law. But lower voter turnout by law abiding citizens is expensive. We are now going to pay for gun owners not showing up at the ballot box. Americans lost this battle on the #soapbox and at the #ballotbox. When it came to the number of pro-gun elected officials who opposed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that gave the BATFE the authority to redefine this rule AND the number of gun owners comments who opposed this new rule during the comments period, our opponents won. Gun grabbing zealots rallied their troops during the comment period and left an overwhelming amount supporting changing the “Definition of “Engaged in the Business” as a Dealer in Firearms” at https://www.regulations.gov/document/ATF-2023-0002-0001/comment. Over 370,000 comments were left and more of them supported it than opposed it. According to this, the new rule takes affect May 20th, 2024. Of course Democrat Jon Tester voted for this. Luckily none of our other Montana representatives did. Find the 14 Republicans from other states who voted for this below.

There are much worse cameras and surveillance systems already deployed alongside these, they just aren't as widely known. It's almost as though Flock is a distraction and a legislation driver to vastly increase the penalties for non-compliance and civil disobedience.
Hell, local PD's have had stingrays up and running for years capturing all data stored, received, or transmitted from any cellphone that happens to wander into its range.
I knew the guys originally involved in "shotspotter" development back in the 90's and could see this coming back then.
Flock is nobody, Palantir is the final destination of all collected data in its entirety. You have already been assigned a risk assessment if you live in the United States by them. It is available to any PD nation wide with interactive mapping that has a risk assessment buble over every house on every street or road no matter how remote. It is already in place and running policing as an algorithm in many jurisdictions.
Data centers are surveillance intelligence vaults. But like any smart investor, they are careful to not have all their eggs in a single basket but in a slightly different way. This ensures multiples of all their eggs stored in multiples of many baskets.
All backed up offshore as well. If you're not doing anything illegal, they will simply make something you are doing illegal.
