Republicans in Georgia are falling over themselves to criticise the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) after a story about what appears to have been a routine inspection went viral.
The owner of Adventure Outdoors told local news outlets that he contacted his local congressman, Republican Barry Loudermilk, after more than a dozen ATF agents showed up at his store to perform an inspection of the sprawling business. It wasn’t clear what prompted the call, other than general fear and distrust of federal authority.
