Today, the ATF showed up with 16 agents, most from out-of-state from cities like LA and San Francisco, to “inspect” Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA. This visit was unprecedented. The sheer amount of agents from the bluest parts of the country is unusual and unnecessary to conduct a routine audit. This is a prime example of Joe Biden and the Democrats weaponizing federal agencies to silence and intimidate their political opponents. I fear this is just the beginning and they are directly targeting our Second Amendment and our right to protect and defend our families. I’m proud to have joined my colleagues to do our job and conduct Congressional Oversight on this highly suspect “inspection.”
@RepMTG The ATF regularly inspects guns stores. The last inspection of Adventure Outdoors, "The Largest Gun Store in the World", was in 1997. Every gun sale in the past six years has to be reviewed which takes significant personnel. This inspection is NOT unprecedented, it's routine.
@Larry_in_WI @RepMTG By out of state agents from big blue cities? Really?
