Helpful information to pass on, I hope.
Starting off let’s Google: Go to google on your cell phone and use the camera Icon take a pic of it and will identify it. I advised another member to do that on a revolver cylinder, and it told him what revolver it went to. The Google icon works for all sorts of things. Also if google cannot pinpoint exactly what it is it will give you a list of possible items. Give it a try - Here are a few things I have done for ghits & siggles. You will have to enlarge pics to see what it is. I have to continue this post to the next section because it will only allow me to attach 4 items.

Here is a couple more things:
I knew what all the items were. But wanted to to check googles response especially to the blue clip. It did not have a specific answer but gave me a list of possible items. It is the last item on the list, a key for vacuum storage bag.
In the App Store there is one that says “Picture This”. These cost a yearly fee. Examples are “Plant Identifier “, “Picture Insect Bug Identifier-Picture Bird Bird Identifier”. The bug identifier besides identifying also has a Bites ID.

Now you are in googles list which they acknowledge selling to law enforcement and palantir broadly as a person who interacts with threatening and or dangerous items.
 
When I use Google, I always use their Advanced Search. It’s vastly superior to regular Google.

And I don’t worry about Google selling anything. The government already knows I have guns.
 
wtf do you think you are filling out when you purchase a gun or ammo in this state?

Basically the ultimate targeting

Does my post somehow strike you as a justification for the state registry?

You do realize the state is under legal obligations not to sell or trade that data without an actual warrant?
 
you guys surely realize that random private companies have nowhere near the legal obligations to protect your data that the state and Feds have right?
 
I know what this is. This is an espresso machine. No no no, it's a snow cone maker, that's what it is.

This is a water heater?
