GREAT FALLS, Montana (PNN) - June 17, 2023 - Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said that armed fascist IRS agents rolled into Great Falls Highwood Creek Outfitters Wednesday and unlawfully seized dozens of boxes of ATF form 4473s, the background check form containing information on gun purchasers.

The fascist outlaw agents hit the store prior to regular business hours.

Store owner Tom Van Hoose said, “At 7:30 I came in and they pulled in behind me with 20 heavily armed agents.”

He said by the time all was said and done, the agents left him with about 30 minutes of time to do business so he lost virtually an entire business day.

Van Hoose believes his store is targeted because he sells guns that Joe Biden opposes. “I can only assume that it’s because of the style of weapons that we have and the press that’s so against them. The current (bogus regime) seems to be hell-bent on getting those guns out of the hands of average Amerikans.”

The ATF form 4473 has a gun purchaser’s name, address, birthdate, state/city of birth, gender, social security number, and the serial number of any guns purchased in the store. The information is perfectly suited for use in an illegal registry or registry database.

The danger of federal agents taking this information was not lost on AG Knudsen, who said, “I spoke with the shop owner who told me that 20 heavily armed IRS agents from multiple states in our region served a warrant before his business opened. They took dozens of boxes full of 4473s - more than a decade’s worth. This is extremely concerning because it exceeds the search warrant which limited the scope of the search to financial records. These aren’t financial records, they’re records of lawful firearm purchases. What the hell does the IRS need with 4473s? We know the ATF in Washington, DC is trying to scoop up as many of these purchase records as possible, and that’s what it looks like they’re trying to do here.”

Knudsen added, “There’s a clear and disturbing pattern developing of the (illegitimate pretender fascist Joe) Biden (regime unlawfully) sending federal agents to harass Amerikan gun owners, shops, and manufacturers.”

He also noted that this harassment is happening while Biden is pushing to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), thereby opening up gun makers to lawsuits over the illegal use of firearms.

Knudsen said, “Biden wants to repeal PLCAA so they can shut down gun companies and coerce states to implement ‘red flag’ laws so firearms can be seized without due process. Now, they’re sending federal agents door-to-door in my state to intimidate people. There’s no question about it, this is the most anti-gun (regime) in the nation’s history.”
