"In an unprecedented move, twenty armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents carried out a raid on a gun store in Great Falls, Montana, seizing all Form 4473s – documents that record buyer’s information during firearms transactions."

Yes, it’s filled with “leave me alone!” Americans
Lately a great percentage of criminal activity is coming from the authorities, like from the DOJ and FBI and IRS and many local government agencies.
When people believe that it’s all justified, that’s when the country is finished as a constitutional and law-abiding country.
Yet, most people fear acting against such actions, which then further emboldens those authorities to take more of the freedoms of the people.
“The Great Falls Police Department was notified of the investigation and provided security.”
Did they lick the FBIs balls for them? They’re going to be real popular.
Scariest words in this:
ARMED IRS AGENTS!!!!
We had better STOP this.
My money is on the store owner creating pro-2A memes.
They seized the 4473 forms every gun buyer fills out when they purchase a gun at a licensed dealer.
Probably going to check if the info on the forms is accurate and truthful. You know, like they’ve done with the 4473 Hunter Biden filled out by hand, and signed, where he stated he wasn’t a user of illegal drugs.
Don’t overreact until you hear the facts. The wild ones on here have to be Federal instigators. The IRS involvement has to mean they believe someone owes taxes and apparently refused to pay them. Wait until the charges come out, then report back.
With the left, there may have been no real leadup- look at how they enacted idle of the night raids on Trump peeps, armed to the hilt, msm all informed before the midnight raids etc so everyone could see how “powerful” the swat teams were etc. The ,eft love to “send a loud clear message” with acts like this- to frighten anyone thinking of opposingmthem in the future.
Rep Matt Rosendale had comments and the usual “harsh messages” to bureaucrats. Even so . . .
Where are Montana Senators, Steve Daines and that other guy . . . yeah, John Rotundo . . . er, Tester?
Why 20 heavily armed agents? Couldn’t two politely ask for the forms? (although not legal). Maybe they could have a couple younger guys carry the boxes of records. But, no. This is to intimidate. This is tell you that they can come, at any time, and without notice. Mostly importantly the message is that you are outnumbered and cannot do anything about it.
Good thinking... We can be sure it's not being done to stop gun violence, or any other reason that would fall in the category of "Protect and Defend the US of A....
This is GOOD news. For far too long, we’ve consented to the destruction of the 2A by walking in to gun stores and submitting to unconstitutional background checks. FFLs are the worst because they are a-ok with trampling gun rights so long as they make $$$ off it. Time for them to realize what giving up their rights for money does, exactly.
Well...they’re representatives of the “world’s greatest deliberative body” don’tcha know. Give ‘em time, they’re deliberatin’
Probably cause?
Perhaps of interest.
Yes, good point. Wise and prudent, as always.
It’s pretty rare that the Gov makes mistakes or does anything illegal or tyrannical so we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt here.
Don’t overreact until you hear the facts. The wild ones on here have to be Federal instigators. The IRS involvement has to mean they believe someone owes taxes and apparently refused to pay them.
Don’t you find the mere force....20 HEAVILY ARMED agents.....concerning??
