Montana GOP Rep. Matt Rosendale told Newsmax on Friday that the Internal Revenue Service�s raid and subsequent closure of a store licensed to sell firearms and accessories earlier this week is the agency�s latest attempt �to create a database� on conservatives who want to own a gun.

�This is stormtrooper-type activity, and we�re not used to seeing it in our country whatsoever,� Rosendale said while appearing on �The Chris Salcedo Show.� �This is the kind of activity that demonstrates why we were trying to, in the House of Representatives, defund those additional 87,000 IRS agents.�

On early Wednesday morning, 20 IRS agents, with the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), raided and closed Highwood Creek Outfitters, a Great Falls, Montana-based gun shop.

Cascade County Sheriff Jesse Slaughter said that he was not notified of the operation in advance, though the Great Falls Police Department was made aware beforehand and provided security.

The business reopened following the raid, though not before losing just about all of its business for the day.

Rosendale on Wednesday issued a press release, stating: �I�m incredibly disturbed by initial reports that the IRS and ATF closed Highwood Creek Outfitters without any warning today. This is yet another example of the Biden Administration weaponizing federal agencies to target and harass hardworking Americans.�

�We cannot allow Biden to continue expanding these agencies to infringe on our liberties,� the statement said.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Shouldn't someone in Congress point out this is not within the mandate authorized for the IRS by Congress?

Kinda simple concept.

Thank you Kevin McCarthy for watering down the IRS funding cuts to almost zilch

It is reasonable to concur where Conscience does not forbid a Compliance; for Conformity is at least a Civil Virtue.
But we should only press it in Necessaries, the rest may prove a Snare and Temptation to break Society.
But above all, it is a Weakness in Religion and Government, where it is carried to Things of an Indifferent Nature, since besides that it makes Way for Scruples, Liberty is always the Price of it....William Penn
