This little item could give the IRS’ whole “targeting” conservatives scandal a brand-new twist.

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) tweeted that he observed IRS agents training with AR-15s when he toured the Department of Homeland Security:

A few weeks ago when I toured a DHS facility I saw #IRS agents training with AR-15's. I'm looking into the issue now. #PJNET

Like I said so many times....I don’t for a second think the GOP, the likes of McCain et al...knew nothing about how the Dems were manipulating the mortgages in the 90’s. I don’t believe they knew nothing about the abuse of Tea Party types by the IRS. I don’t believe they know nothing about the awful foreign policy that led to Benghazi. I don’t believe they know nothing about the purchase of all this ammunition by the DHS,

And if they knew nothing about it, I’ll throw out there, then they are totally incompetent.

Either way, at best we have no opposition party. At worst, the blue blood GOP is working WITH the Dems while trying to look ignorant of it all.

Cause the likes of McCain et al....THEY HATE THE TEA PARTY TOO!

Not to worry cause Americans aren’t going to take this sitting down. We have guns and we’re going to fight back. The ones that will go down will be mostly stupid liberals.

Obama’s doing what Obama does and he does it well. It’s the guys on OUR side who are the problem.

AR-15 or not, why does anyone in the IRS need a weapon to do their job?

IRS AGENTS TRAIN WITH AR-15s – ARE THEY PREPARING TO ‘TARGET’ MORE CONSERVATIVES?

http://patriotaction.net/forum/topic/show?id=2600775%3ATopic%3A6269919&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_topic

The IRS defends the training, in a statement that reads, in part:

As law enforcement officials, IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agents are equipped similarly to other federal, state and local law enforcement organizations. Special Agents receive training on the appropriate and safe use of assigned weapons.

In responding to the revelation about IRS agents training on AR-15s at a DHS facility, the agency included a link to its enforcement website (http://www.irs.gov/uac/Criminal-Investigation-%28CI%29-At-a-Glance). Okay, we checked out that link and found no obvious reference to the need for, or use of, high-powered “assault rifles”.

I don’t know if the house or senate or both can stop the funding of this, but they must!

What makes you think they (politicians, R & D) WANT to stop it?

My daughter’s best friend is an IRS collection agent. While she is not armed, she is often accompanied by armed agents on her assignments. Treasury agents in the past were called T Men, think Elliot Ness, and they were armed . Additionally every LEO agency, fed, state, and local have developed SWAT type units. Even the Education Dept has had such a unit for some time.. Agencies don’t like calling on other agencies for help, even for SWAT type scenarios so they arm and give half ass training to their own and send them out.I really don’t think 25K IRS agents will be marching out with M 16s anytime soon.

Obama ordered his IRS to rig the election of 2012 for Obama and democrats/socialists in the Senate. Obama also used other gov agencies to rig the election. Why isn’t anyone shouting this form the rooftops? Come on Levin, coulter , Sarah Palin, Rush, DRudge etc. call Obama out on this and call for Obama’s resignation.

Obama’s IRS prevented many tea party groups from getting started The IRS stole the election. We no longer live in a free country

If someone doesn’t see the need to prep at this point, there’s no hope for them.

“...I don’t know if the house or senate or both can stop the funding of this, but they must! If they can’t see what obama is doing, they should not be representing us....”

Oh, they see it alright. They’re all scared spit-less because of odongo’s use of PRISM software weapon: He has the goods & dirt on just about all of em. Just ask Herman Cain, David Patreaus, Mitt Romney and of course, last but not least, our modern day Benedict Arnold, John Roberts. They’ve all seen the damage that PRISM can do and how it was used against these people. Odongo has them right where he wants them: hiding under their desks in dire fear that their dirtiest and deepest secrets will be revealed to the public. Blackmail is a powerful weapon on a politician, especially gutless ones. The only way these tyrants are going to be ousted is by the people. They fear the people and thus have armed themselves to the hilt. This is truly a usurped government preparing for war with the people.

“There are many reasons to ask why the #IRS needs heavy firepower. For one we are 17 trillion in debt. Two is it even appropriate? #PJNET”

No one collects 17T with harsh words and letters.

Follow the money. It’s all about the debt and who will service it: serfs.

Fealty -an old word which is coming around again.

He said he needed to be armed for his IRS work and that lots of IRS were armed.

Move along. Nothing at all to see here.
