Because of course she did. Despite the ATF having the authority to inspect a gun store, and is required to perform such checks to ensure that firearm sales are being recorded correctly and serial numbers are recorded and accounted for, Taylor Green took it upon herself to have a Twitter moment to pander to her political ilk. Jesus congresswoman, get a life. Or a point. Or a clue. https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-interrupts-atf-inspection-georgia-gun-shop-1790713 Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene questioned Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents carrying out an inspection of a gun store in Smyrna, Georgia, on Monday. She cited the fact she serves on the House Oversight Committee. Greene shared footage showing her and other Republican members of Congress speaking to an ATF public information officer at Adventure Outdoors, which describes itself as "Georgia's largest outdoors sporting goods store" and "The Actual Largest Gun Store in the World." The interaction came on the same day as a shooting at a school left three children and three adults dead after a 28-year-old shooter opened fire at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. "Members of our Georgia delegation were present for an unprecedented ATF inspection at longtime and well respected Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Ga," Greene tweeted on Monday. In another tweet, Greene shared a video that showed her with Republican colleagues as she spoke to an ATF public information officer who said it was a routine inspection. However, Greene tweeted that the number of agents and the fact many of them were not from Georgia was "unprecedented." She criticized the Biden administration, adding that the administration is "against the Second Amendment." Greene went on to tell the ATF officer that she serves on the Oversight Committee, while her colleagues also serve on congressional committees. She said, "We're here for the people, also to basically hold the government accountable," adding that the government had been "weaponized." In her tweet, Greene wrote that "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."
To boot, a federal representative shouldn't be interfering with the every day procedures of federal employees. If she allowed them to do their jobs and then follow up, I'm ok with that, but she is clearly looking for attention.
This person, MTG, is a raving lunatic, and those who fall for her stunts are fools. There are very limited number of ATF agents to do those types of inspections, which are required by law, and that easily explains why there would be agents from other states brought in, even if it's accurate that they were. Another big bs session from a bs artist, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or whatever her divorced name is now.
Reminds me of that Ron White bit.... "I had the right to remain silent, but I did not have the ability"
DeSantis showing Americans just how much he really,really cares about its children. Has he canceled yet? 'DeSantis to visit Cobb gun store that’s a favorite of GOP contenders' snip: "When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis visits the Adventure Outdoors shop on Thursday, he’ll be joining a long line of Republican officials who have made the giant Cobb County gun store a favorite campaign stop. Country crooner Travis Tritt raffled off guns outside Adventure Outdoors to supporters of then-U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler in December 2020. Gov. Brian Kemp and failed U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker picked the store for their sole joint event last year. And the firearms superstore was the staging ground for a different event Monday, when a quartet of U.S. House Republicans gathered outside its front door to criticize a recent inspection by federal agents. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones soon followed with a call for an investigation. https://www.ajc.com/politics/politi...un-store-thursday/QS5P6Y5XSJCD7LERQVHUYQZ5LA/
