Ernst presses DOJ on ATF's warrantless visits to recent gun buyers

As we’ve been reporting for the past few weeks, the ATF has taken an unusually aggressive approach to cracking down on “straw purchases”; showing up at gun owners’ homes and asking questions about their recent purchases.

So far most of the mainstream media has ignored these incidents, but now that Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa is demanding answers from Attorney General Merrick Garland, the agency’s “knock and talks” could soon come under greater scrutiny from both news outlets and politicians in Washington, D.C.

“Several reports and videos have surfaced detailing ATF agents engaging in ‘knock and talk’ investigations of straw purchases,” Ernst wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
