Concerns about AI‑driven surveillance have been rising among gun owners, many of whom worry the cameras could be used to track visits to gun stores, shooting ranges, or even political events. Critics argue the technology creates a pipeline of data that can be accessed by law enforcement agencies nationwide, regardless of where the cameras are installed.
Rittenhouse posted a video on social media voicing his opposition, saying in part:
Why are we supporting mass surveillance of U.S. citizens? This is disgusting and it needs to end now.”
He filmed the video in a Lowe’s parking lot in Weatherford, Texas, where a Flock camera was mounted on private property. Despite being owned by a private company, the data collected can still be shared broadly with law enforcement.
The debate continues to intensify as more gun owners question whether these systems represent a legitimate public‑safety tool or a step toward mass government surveillance.
