The IRS is contracted with several vendors to obtain various specialized weapons and covert surveillance materials. Please see: http://www.treas.gov/sba/irssic.htmlFor example, Remington Model 11-87 Shotguns (a $200,000 contract) are a special model made exclusively for the IRS, holding 8 cartridges instead of the normal legal limit of 3.
This page also documents contracts for equipment and services such as:
* Clock/Radio Audio Video Transmitters; $200,000; General Microwave Service, Inc.
* Semi-automatic Handguns; $1,000,000; Sigarms, Inc.
* Subminiature Audio Recorders & Playback Units; $1,000,000; Nagra USA
* Purchase and Support of Data Encryption Radios; $50,000,000; Motorola, Inc.Why does Congress allow the IRS to arm so many of its agents so heavily against American citizens? Is it really necessary for the IRS to spy on American citizens? Is this part of the IRS reform legislation that was recently passed to make the IRS more responsive to taxpayers? These IRS related problems and the increasing pressure to squeeze Americans -- and their freedoms -- by moving to the National Retail Sales Tax! Instead of attempting to intimidate and strong arm Americans with intrusive and abusive tactics -- all of which increase the growing gap between citizens and "their" (allegedly) government), those 110,000 IRS employees could get REAL jobs. Guarding our southern border springs to mind.
Ping.
So did “someone” give you a real nice clock radio?
