Speaking of things that pass under our liberty-loving radar while everyone is focused on the pseudo-event du jour, has anyone been tracking this as reported five days ago now:

Armed IRS agents raid Montana gun shop, seize gun purchase records

Armed IRS agents seized dozens of boxes of ATF form 4473s from Highwood Creek Outfitters in Great Falls, Montana, last Wednesday…the IRS seizure of gun owner documents is “extremely concerning” because it appears to “exceed” the search warrant that was issued, which “limited the scope of the search to financial records.” … “These aren’t financial records, they’re records of lawful firearm purchases,” [Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen] said. “What the hell does the IRS need with 4473s?

Forget “need”, what authority does the IRS have to even possess them? (Yes, I know, something that will never be asked of our DC overlords. But I digress.) Continue…

Tom Van Hoose, owner of Highwood Creek Outfitters, said, “At 7:30, I came in and they pulled in behind me with 20 heavily armed agents.”

Knudsen told Breitbart News that there is a “clear and disturbing pattern” of the Biden administration deploying federal agents to “harass” gun shops, gun manufacturers, and gun owners in the United States.

The creep of totalitarianism is starting to look more like a gallop…and the silence is deafening.

Imagine the obvious fictional premise, if you will, of a Trump led IRS in the late summer of 2020 raiding the Black Lives Matter headquarters “with 20 heavily armed agents” in order to seize membership records and any devices that could reveal electronic communications with certain, specific DC offices (i.e., The Speaker of the House, the DNC, etc.) in the lead up to specific “mostly peaceful demonstrations” that happened to cause a whole lot of damage…not to mention injury and death. The screams of dictatorial abuse of power would still be ringing through even our sort-of-center-right-ish comment sections. Yet…today…FJB…progressives on the march…dead silence.

EXIT QUESTION: How quickly would Liz, her girlfriend Mitt, and the rationalizers inside our perimeter have jumped on the bandwagon for another quickie impeachment…because, you know, Orange Man Bad?

As always, 2024 looms large.
