Highwood Creek Outfitters gun shop in Great Fall, MT, was raided by the IRS and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Wednesday because the IRS doesn't just collect taxes anymore--they have guns and are learning how to use them.
In a letter to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel and ATF Director Steven M. Dettelbach, Rep. Mathew M. Rosendale Sr. (R-MT) said, "This event is another example of President Biden weaponizing federal agencies to target and harass hard-working Americans for exercising their constitutional rights."
Gee, ya think?
"While we wait to hear more details and the rationale behind this raid, given the positions of the Biden Administration this raid appears to be an attempt to intimidate firearms dealers and owners," the letter stated. "A pattern of intimidation and harassment seems to be emerging under Director Dettelbach’s leadership of the ATF."
"This pattern appears to be orchestrated directly from the White House as evident by the 'fact sheet' released by the Biden Administration, where they detail their plans to hassle mom-and-pop gun shops over minor record keeping and paperwork discrepancies," the letter added.
Rosendale noted that the IRS grabbed all 4473 background check questionnaires, which have absolutely no useful tax data as they "include no financial information, and there is no discernible reason why the IRS would need these forms."
Other than to track who has guns so they can use the information at a later date when our dictator needs it for confiscation purposes.
"The IRS committed an egregious breach of privacy for Montana’s gun owners," Resendale Jr. continued. "Although there are still some murky details regarding the events at Highwood Creek Outfitters. There is no circumstance in which 4473’s would be necessary in an investigation spearheaded by the IRS."

But that isn't the point. This administration is slowly attempting to gain more power.
The owner of Highwood Creek Outfitters Tom Van Hoose said in an interview with MTN News that he has been the subject of government surveillance for a couple of years, and he doesn't know the reason why but fears it's political.
