Who will ask to see the Form 1 or Form 4?

What do you think those 87K IRS agents will be doing? They're going to be stationed at every shooting range to collect stamps and taxes.

There’s not an additional 87k IRS agents, but a recruiting drive to hire that many over the next 10 years to replace a mass retirement of older agents who are done and no longer working. That was part of the “Inflation Reduction Act" passed by last year’s Congress. Now the new House just voted to cut the funding for the 87k new IRS collectors, but it would need to pass the Senate and WH.

There isn’t big money in stamp taxes either obviously. They’re more interested in targeting businesses.

We need to handle this at the State level and have State AGs, Sheriffs, City PDs, County Attorneys, etc. all notify the Federal agencies that any ATF, IRS, or Federal agents engaged in such criminal activity will be arrested for violation of the bill of rights while acting under the color of law under Section 18 of the USC. it specifically forbids anyone in uniform from violating people’s rights under false pretenses of law enforcement, so that fundamentally crushes the ATF’s entire baseline for existence.

We’re seeing something similar to this happening in Illinois right now, but only at the Sheriff level.

The real problem is the FFL network, where the ATF has suborned businesses to act in a law enforcement capacity by having people fill out 4473s and conduct NICS checks on them with the FBI.

If they shut down FFLs in a State, the citizens don’t have any real recourse.
