Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) is demanding answers after he says a group of armed IRS agents raided and temporarily closed a Montana gun shop in Great Falls Wednesday.
"This event is another example of President Biden weaponizing federal agencies to target and harass hardworking Americans for exercising their constitutional rights," Rosendale said in a letter to leaders of the Internal Revenue Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Twenty heavily armed federal agents pulled in behind Highwood Creek Outfitters' owner Tom Van Hoose as he arrived at his shop Wednesday morning, KRTV reported.
IRS agents confiscated background check forms from the store that contained sensitive personal information about all customers who ever purchased a gun at the shop. The forms do not include financial information, Rosendale said, calling the act an "egregious breach of privacy" that "showed no regard for federal law."
"There is no circumstance in which 4473s would be necessary in an investigation spearheaded by the IRS," Rosendale said in a letter addressed to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel.

NOTHING this BIDEN NAZI PARTY does surprises me, but if they think that this is going to end well, they are in for a DAMN RUDE *** AWAKENING!!!
While Matt Taibbi was testifying before Congress on the administration’s extensive censoring of social media content, the IRS appeared at his door, ostensibly to question him about his taxes, but obviously to intimidate him for showing up government censorship.Mr. Taibbi has told Mr. Jordan’s committee that an IRS agent showed up at his personal residence in New Jersey on March 9. That happens to be the same day Mr. Taibbi testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about what he learned about Twitter. The taxman left a note instructing Mr. Taibbi to call the IRS four days later. Mr. Taibbi was told in a call with the agent that both his 2018 and 2021 tax returns had been rejected owing to concerns over identity theft.
Mr. Taibbi has provided the committee with documentation showing his 2018 return had been electronically accepted, and he says the IRS never notified him or his accountants of a problem after he filed that 2018 return more than four-and-a-half years ago.
He says the IRS initially rejected his 2021 return, which he later refiled, and it was rejected again -- even though Mr. Taibbi says his accountants refiled it with an IRS-provided pin number. Mr. Taibbi notes that in neither case was the issue “monetary,” and that the IRS owes him a “considerable” sum.The bigger question is when did the IRS start to dispatch agents for surprise house calls? Typically, when the IRS challenges some part of a tax return, it sends a dunning letter. Or it might seek more information from the taxpayer or tax preparer. If the IRS wants to audit a return, it schedules a meeting at the agent’s office. It doesn’t drop by unannounced.
They would have had a warrant. My guess, there are not a whole lot of libtard judges in Montana who would issue such a warrant.roadkill » 18 Jun 2023, 6:53 am » wrote: ↑ They want to intimidate gun owners. I live about 165 miles from Great Falls...maybe the IRS will show up here next.

Who said that there were no laws broken? They had a warrant. Clearly they felt that the gun shop may be the sight of evidence in some ongoing investigation of some criminal activity.roadkill » 18 Jun 2023, 8:14 am » wrote: ↑ Then explain why the IRS was there when no laws were broken...and yer guess isn't evidence.

It is not the homo's fault the media does such a piss poor job. His assumption is likely a safe one, since the local police provided security for the raid.Beekeeper » 18 Jun 2023, 8:26 am » wrote: ↑ How about showing us WHERE they had that WARRANT you claim they had!!!
Seems there is NO MENTION or any evidence that one existed!! THEN tell us what earthly reason would it take a WARRANT to obtain a GOVERNMENT FORM used for background checks!! The ATF can LEGALLY inspect those at ANY TIME without ANY WARRANT, just so you know, *******!!
Either PUT UP OR SHUT THE **** UP MOUTHY ******!!
