IRS, ATF search Great Falls, MT gun store; US Rep. Matt Rosendale calls it harassment
2023-06-17
[Billings Gazzett] An IRS investigation of a Great Falls gun dealer this week has outraged U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale, who said federal agencies are being weaponized for harassment.

Wednesday, agents from both the IRS Criminal Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms spent several hours searching records at Highwood Creek Outfitters, a Great Falls gun shop and indoor firing range.

ATF deferred all questions about the search to the IRS, which confirmed the search but would only say that "IRS Criminal Investigation was on site as part of their official business."

"I’m incredibly disturbed by initial reports that the IRS and ATF closed Highwood Creek Outfitters without any warning today," Rosendale said in press release. "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."

#1  The state Department of Revenue audited the business earlier this year, VanHoose said. He characterized the issue as a few things needing to be classified correctly. He doesn’t think the IRS search is related.

So why's the IRS there again?
