I guess they are too busy with this investigate Hunter or to raid the White House and arrest "the big guy"?

The problem with Ms. Wolfe’s statement is that, as best that I can find, 28 years later she still believes that.

I'm very curious to know why the search warrant apparently included 4473 forms in the items to be seized. Absent credible evidence that someone like Hunter Biden had lied on a form when doing an FFL transfer / buying a gun, I can't think of any legitimate investigative purpose for the government to have those documents.

And if there was such evidence, the warrant would logically be limited to just that one person, not every 4473 at the business.

Did they find more forms filled out by Hunter Xiden with false information?

Website still works. So they may still be in business. No doubt by going there, I'm made a list.

I had never heard of her until I saw this quote in a book I'm reading. That’s an interesting speech she made, but it doesn’t seem that the intervening 26 years have changed much for the better. In fact, I'd say they’ve gotten worse…and a fascistic Democrat Gun-Grabber Goon Squad (AKA “the ATF”) are a big part of that. I do agree with the sentiment in her quote though.
