Rep Rosendale introduces bill to prohibit the IRS from purchasing guns after armed Montana raid Fox News reports "Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., introduced a bill Friday to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from using taxpayer dollars to purchase firearms for its agents, following the unexpected raid of a local Montana gun store.
The congressman introduced the "Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act" Friday, after 20 armed IRS and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents entered Highwood Creek Outfitters in Great Falls, Montana, earlier in June and reportedly confiscated the personal information of customers who purchased a gun from the store.
"Biden’s alphabet agencies have no business intimidating hardworking Montanans," Rosendale told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement. "The weaponization of our government must end, which is why I am proud to introduce this legislation to prohibit taxpayer funds from being leveraged against the American people."
After the armed agents closed the gun store unannounced in June, Rosendale visited the site and found that 4,473 forms containing gun purchase records were obtained by the federal agencies."
