Interesting that they felt the need to make a big show of force. A single ATF agent could have taken the 4473s without all the hoopla.

Either they expected some kind of resistance or they were trying to send a message.

I'm guessing we all "know" why they did it...but did they say "why" they did it?

Gateway Pundit?

Interesting that IRS had assistance from ATF. Too little info. to know much of anything at this point other than IRS thinks he did something wrong.

No comment from them other than to the owner that his business had been "reported'. Anti-gun fanatic making bogus reports of wrong doing to shut him down(?)

I'm sure we'll hear more on it.

At least they didn't bring CNN crews along for the raid.

One wonders what interest the IRS would have in 4473's.

Reconciling financial records with actual purchases... I'm sure is their excuse... but it's not fooling anyone. Just another overreach document grab from the alphabet side... because they want to fill their registry database by any means. I highly doubt the IRS is going to do forensic accounting receipt by receipt with supporting document verification from the 4473's. Not unless there really is something fishy going on in their business and some actual red flags pop.

Nice place, owner does seem a bit cuckoo but the wife is a sweetheart. Dog is a jerk but keeps to himself. Range is fine but the locals seem to have poor aim... impact marks on the shooting benches themselves, directly above the bench, and in the track mechanisms.

I wonder if Helena's range will be raided next? I know a pawn shop there had arrests since the owner was intentionally not keeping accurate records of firearm sales.

Sounds more like an IRS raid. No other media source is saying the ATF was there to raid form 4473s. The Gateway Pundit is a well known fake news source.

Serious question:

Why does anyone feel entitled to know the details of an active and ongoing investigation?

 

[monkeybutler]

Yep, show me the story from a non-fakenews site.

"Entitled"?? I haven't heard anyone making any demands for details. Simple curiosity is to be expected with a news story like that... don't you think!(??)

Did I miss something?

Because we the people are paying for it and they (the Federal Government) are nothing more than agents of the people. We should expect transparency in everything they do.
