Sounds like a case of "you get exactly the kind of government that you don't resist". "Resisting" does not require violence. The ATF asked for permission to search, the answer is "not without a warrant".

The police officer is NOT your friend, and ATF types surely aren't. Old saying runs as follows: most people sound a lot smarter with their mouths shut, than they do with them open. The ATF said they would get a warrant, do that. Please stop by with it, when you get it, I wiill likely still be here.
