seems to be hell-bent on getting those guns out of the hands of average Americans.\u201d  (<em>Photo: 3KRTV<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of GOA, said, &#8220;This was an incredibly alarming incident to hear about \u2013 especially given the checkered past of the IRS targeting conservatives \u2013 and Congressman Matt Rosendale of Montana deserves credit for helping to bring the details about this raid to light.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This continued weaponization by the Biden Administration of federal agencies to go after their political opponents once again underscores the dire need for Congress to act, including by defunding the ATF and demanding answers from the IRS,&#8221; he added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former police officer and Florida State Director of GOA, Luis Valdes, pointed out that the raid seemed to be a calculated move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This raid was clearly a show of force meant to send a message to gun owners and those who oppose the tyrannical anti-gun agenda of this administration. &#8221; Valdes remarked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the raid&#8217;s scope suggested potentially sinister motives behind the form seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valdes warned, &#8220;People need to understand this administration intends to go after you if you oppose their agenda, and demand their elected representatives push back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Congressman Rosendale&#8217;s Questions for the Biden Administration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What was the purpose of entering and closing Highwood Creek Outfitters?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What evidence did the ATF and IRS have prior to arriving at Highwood Creek Outfitters and how<br \/>was this evidence

such a large armed police presence was necessary?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has the Biden Administration expressed support for increasing in-person agency activities at<br \/>firearms-related businesses?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much have the ATF and IRS spent to conduct similar activities at firearms-related<br \/>businesses?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did the IRS take Highwood Creek Outfitters
