The Biden administration has announced plans to begin deploying armed IRS officers to seize guns from Americans, regardless of whether their firearms were purchased legally or not.
In a disturbing first step, the IRS sent twenty armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents to carry out a raid on a gun store in Great Falls, Montana, seizing all Form 4473s – documents that contain the buyer’s information. It is believed this information will be used by the IRS in the near future to conduct unconstitutional raids on Americans.

Tom Van Hoose, owner of Highwood Creek Outfitters, says he has been under constant surveillance by state and federal agencies for over two years, according to KRTV.
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: On Wednesday, the gun shop owner reported an unexpected visit from 20 heavily armed IRS agents at his store.
The agents reportedly arrived at the shop early in the morning, as Van Hoose was opening for the day.
“We have now confirmed that both the IRS and the ATF were at Highwood Creek Outfitters in Great Falls around 7 am this morning. Both the IRS and ATF would not say why they were there,” KMON Radio reported.
“A spokeswoman for the IRS would only say they were there on official IRS business. The ATF says it was providing assistance to the IRS. We attempted to enter the store today and were stopped by agents at the door who would only say that the gun store is closed and will reopen tomorrow,” the news outlet added.
According to Hoose, the federal scrutiny began two years ago and has involved various agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and now, the Internal Revenue Service.
“They must think we’re making a fortune in the gun business to investigate us like this, assuming we’re hiding thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. However, anyone familiar with gun business profit margins would know that’s not the case,” Van Hoose told MTN News.
Van Hoose claims that he was simply told his business had been reported, although he remains in the dark about who reported it or why. He believes the whole episode was politically motivated.
“I can only assume that it’s because of the style of weapons that we have and the press that’s so against them,” said Van Hoose. “The current administration seems to be hell bent on getting those guns out of the hands of average Americans.”
The day’s operations were disrupted, leading to a significant loss of revenue.
“I had about 30 minutes to operate, making just a single $16 sale,” Hoose said.
Highwood Creek Outfitters is America’s largest online firearms and accessories mall, according to its website. The store is known for selling what Van Hoose calls “fun guns,” including AR-15’s and AK-47s.
WATCH:
The Great Falls Police Department confirmed it was informed about the investigation and provided security, according to KRTV.
Although the Montana Department of Justice claimed no involvement in the incident, an IRS spokesperson confirmed their presence at Highwood Creek Outfitters but refrained from providing further details.
The recent incident has attracted political attention, with Congressman Matt Rosendale expressing his concern over the IRS and ATF’s actions, interpreting them as another example of the Biden regime’s weaponization of federal agencies against hardworking Americans.
“I’m incredibly disturbed by initial reports that the IRS and ATF closed Highwood Creek Outfitters without any warning today,” said Rep Rosendale in a statement.
“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,” he added.
On Friday afternoon, the congressman announced he sent a letter to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, asking for answers.
“The weaponization of our government must be STOPPED, which is why I sent a letter to ATF Director Dettelbach and IRS Commissioner Werfel demanding answers about this outrageous attack and have used every tool available to me to remove funding for the 87,000 additional IRS agents!” Rep. Rosendale said.

Rep. Matt Rosendale joined Chris Salcedo to discuss the incident.
“Here’s what they took out. IRS – financial records, accounting, making sure what transactions were taking place. No, they took all of the 4473 forms. The 4473 forms are what everyone fills out when they go to purchase a firearm,” said Rosendale.
“And it’s just a big disclosure to make sure that you don’t have a criminal background or other reasons where you should not be purchasing a firearm. So the IRS took every single one of the 4473s that Tom Van Hoose had in his possession there at Highwood Creek Outfitters,” he added.

Holy sh!tballs PV you gotta stop with the yellow journalism and clickbait fearporn. Your titling technique rivals CNN.
We aren’t allowed yo buy guns here unless we join a rifle club and then you have to kerp them at the club locked up You used to have a gun box that could be locked, then a gun safe bolted to the wall, then the club law came in So now I’ve got safes and boxes but no rifle. It’s probably a good thing really.
It’s a good thing you don’t have one because you’re obviously too stupid to handle them.
Even the Agriculture Department has a small army to break down Farmer’s doors.
Biden To Deploy Thousands of Armed IRS Officers To Forcibly Seize Guns From Americans
There WILL BE IRS agents blood running in the streets ! !
MAGA
I am an ultra MAGA terrorist
For this I am so proud.
America First is our battle cry
And should be espoused by all.
The oath I swore in ’71
Is still in effect today.
The blank check I signed
Will never go away!
They want my guns, they are saying to me,
Not as long as I breath and able to see.
I took my oath and went to Nam,
They WILL NOT get guns from this old man !
The Democrat party has ceased to be,
They wish total control over you and me.
Socialists and Communists they have become,
Destroy America, their rule number one.
Pedo Joe and his parasites,
Destroying America is in their sights.
Spying on you spying on me,
This isn’t right in the ‘land of the free’ !
If America goes down the world will too
And Satan will have done his do.
God blessed America a couple of centuries ago
I will lay down my life to keep it so.
Many have died for the red white and blue,
If the need arises, I will too.
Guns from my hands they will have to pry
And proudly will go for the red, white and blue!

Amen!, unfortunately, I was unable to join the military due to a childhood disease but my father fought in WWII and Korea. My son graduated from West Point and is serving right now. Before communists, Bolsheviks and Socialists steal this country, I will join the people’s army and reach out and touch our enemies.
…You and a few million other Americans! A RIFLE BEHIND EVERY BLADE OF GRASS!

Thank you very much for your service.
Treason has a due up against a wall, with FIRING SQUADS.
How long do you think an IRS worker would live if they came to your door armed to confiscate your guns?

Zipperhead begone.
30 seconds same as me!
Too Funny!
Oh you can count on The Controllers getting the guns. It’s just a matter of time.
They’ve accomplished almost their entire list, just one pesky thing left.
Once the guns have been successfully removed…..well…..you probably don’t want to be here when that happens.
The Controllers tend to enjoy genocide after full confiscation.
Cant fight the controllers with rocks and sticks.
The problem with your theory is that, thus far, they have only succeeded in taking things that can’t shoot and kill those taking them. We will see what happens when the property being confiscated can also be used to kill the confiscator.
If they could take the guns, it would have been done already. That’s why they did the COVID scam. They needed to kill the gun owners because they will not give them up willingly. The confiscators are hoping their shot will prevent them from being shot (with our guns).
No, they will not. They will run out of agents first. You have to keep in mind, most of these agents are straight out of college and while likely they have practiced shooting, they have never faced lead coming back at them. The whiz of a bullet by your ear, is a very scary thing. I do not think it will take many cases before you see a mass exodus from the IRS. Many will lose that lust for power.
Well THEY can kiss my Hoosier AZZ!! Patriots WILL FIRE BACK. We outnumber them, out-gun them (regardless of what Eric ‘Duke Nukem’ Swalwell & Dementia Joe may say about F-15’s & nukes), we surround them and will obliterate them.
Cowards who say it’s impossible to fight the government are brain-dead; ask any Viet Cong, Taliban, or Iraqi and they will testify to the contrary!

This is why you have to pick a firearm that will be the most useful in a Civil War, encase it in cosmoline, and bury it with it’s ammo and magazines w/ cleaning kit AT AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, dropping vast amounts of red pepper powder to throw-off the sniffer dogs at the dig / hide sight!

It is illegal for them to take the 4473 forms if the store is still in business. The law says that the forms are to be kept at the store, and may be inspected by agents for accuracy or crime trace, but may not be recorded or removed unless the shop goes out of business and then must turn them over to ATF(but ONLY then).
If they took the forms, the agents should be arrested for violating the Gun Control Act of 1968(and they KNOW it). That action also left the gun store in violation because he is REQUIRED to keep those forms at a specific location in the store at all times and they are NOT to be removed.
I Just Have to Say: #F(_)ckThem F(_)ckThem F(_)ckThemAll
Let me see, maybe 100,000 IRS agents, with 100,000 guns vs probably at least 150,000,000 citizens with 400,000,000 legal guns facing people that wish to violate their 2nd amendment. The IRS may stumble and seize some guns, but it will be like sending 100,000 ants to steal the picnic lunch of an army.
If I were an IRS agent and was ordered to perform an illegal act, I would think ahead and size up my chances of being prosecuted myself, and I would resign my job and get one that does not have a very limited lifespan.

It won’t end well!
No one is taking 700 million guns from 100 million plus Americans.
150 million gunowners now, up 20% from before 2020. Estimated # of firearms in private possession? Nobody knows, it’s way more than the 450 million firearms bought through licensed (FFL) dealers. Millions more because it is so easy to build an AR15 from kits and unfinished (“80%”) lower receivers… And home-built Glock clones, too!
ATF recently stated 700 million guns in circulation.
So they say, but there’s a reason why people build their own AR-15’s and Glock clones at home. That alone guarantees F-Troop will never know exactly how many are out there, and where they are. Ideally, it would be nice if every AR & AK owner made one at home and kept it tucked away for ’emergencies’.
They’re out gunned and out numbered regardless!
Don’t be surprised when it starts to be acknowledged that IRS agents are being taken out in force by a very angry populace. We will shoot anyone one posing as an IRS agent at our front door looking for trouble. We will then take their weapons and flak vest and move on until we have enough weaponry to stage a real civil war against this Hitler Brown Shirt Gestapo tactic to turn us into slaves of the state. You have fair warning, so don’t snivel like babies when it becomes obvious that this is not pre-war Germany !!!
Civil War is coming. #CW2

Tyrants and JBT’s (Jack Booted Thugs) are gonna get a huge effing surprise when they start trying to take the guns… there are a million militiamen in America who WILL go to WAR if the feds cross that red line of death!

You might want to purchase some Phoenix Burst shotgun shells … if you can find them. They’re expensive – about $9.00 each.
the pix of fake biden looks nothing like the obama biden take a look?
I would like to know where the County Sheriff was when this happened…the Sheriff is the highest Law Enforcement in any County in the Country and can STOP the FEDs in their tracks and kick them out of the territory! This is to disarm law abiding citizens. Ugly!
If you gop posers are so concerned , why did the majority of you vote to end the budget standoff with most of the IRSS funding intact ? It’s a little late to complain now , you scumbuckets. Most of you voted for precisely this type of gestapo action.
When they bring along (no accident), military, it’s game over…
Taking out a few gun shops as an ostensible fear tactic will not deter us from taking out IRS & ATF agents if they try to disarm Americans. We are now at war, and patriots need to understand that this will continue unless we make sure Trump regains the Presidency. That type of tyranny must be put down soon, or we will become no more than slaves FOR THE STATE AS WORKER BEES WHO WILL OWN NOTHING AND AND BE HAPPY BS !! You can be assured that this will not be easy because we will be asked to do things we would never have dreamed would need to done to preserve our Republic. GIVE US OUR LIBERTY OR ELSE.
They may take them, bullets first to the face !!!
-“ And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?…
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, not withstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”-

The people Biden is calling IRS agents we used to call highwaymen. LOL
Yep, or the Stasi.

The IRS is owned by the Federal Reserve, which is owned by the British Crown Corp. and Vatican. They have NO JURISDICTION over We the People, which are “American State Nationals/Citizens.” If you are British Crown Corp. Property, aka a “U.S. citizen” (notice the small c), then that is quite another story. You have been robbed of your true Political Status BY FRAUD. I would figure it out if I were you. You have been “allowed” to believe you have “Constitutional Rights”, which is the term the ignorant use, but you possess NONE. “God-given Unalienable Rights” are protected by “Constitutional Guarantee”, for State Nationals, NOT 14th Amendment citizens with “privileges”, aka U.S. citizens. Nobody told you? Figure out WHY, before the IRS comes to your house and takes you to a FEMA Camp. Where else do you think this goes?
How does one rescind 14th amendment citizenship and become a State national?

I wish I never lost my gun on that fishing trip. I don’t think I will ever buy another one. With EVIL overtaking the IRS and the BATFE and the DOJ. We all under the pogrom of the Democrats and minions of Satan!!!!
And our idiot so called patriot leaders still see no need for a ubiquitous Militia to protect ourselves from tyrannical government.
All of our patriot leaders should step down as they have blood on their hands and are terminally stupid
Click bait
“Announce plans”
One store who was under investigation for improper sales, gets raided
And the tinfoil is deployed as it is now an announce plan going continental
Maybe when they come for your guns you should bring them to DC and unload them?
Hahahahhahaha you people are ridiculous. They have never tried to take anyone’s guns and they never will try, no matter how much you tell yourselves they are/will. This website posts these types of headlines knowing damn well there is thousands of idiots who will believe it. Don’t be stupid, stupid.
