That's it? What a bunch of slackers. See table 4 from the break down. At least I don't see any expenditures for break dancing/back flip lessons. DOH! Guess that falls under fbi protocol.

Bad enough, since the IRS really isn’t supposed to be doing its own shooting. :)

Trump should sell all guns and ammunition. This would defeat the purpose of Obama buying them in the first place.

I remember just going to WM for Federal 9mm (nothing to do with gov’t, lol). I kept missing the immediate stocking.
I was lucky to find maybe a dozen boxes (100 rounds) over a 12 month period - across the WM’s I visited over 3 states during that time. One had a few - I went back and doubled-up after getting a box earlier that night - 24 hours and they were within 5 miles of a friend’s house (my car was at his house).
This was during king Barack, that is.

So government can arm government agencies of all sorts but the civilian population has to give theirs up

Guess I’m not the only one who thinks you should have 1,000+ rounds per weapon. Unfortunately, can’t afford that these days.

Before Obama left the presidency, some Freepers were posting articles about diverse federal agencies like the Wildlife and Weather Bureau having such and such amount of weapons and ammo, which alarmed them because they feared Obama and his ilk wasn’t going to leave office willingly.
It was getting some creditably until other Freepers showed them the amount the military and more impressively, in private hands.
Then Obama left and these type of stories died off... until now.
Now I guess the “fear mongers” are worried “The Deep State” is arming to force Trump from office.

And the IRS needs gun for what?
Raids that another agency should
be doing.
To: rktman
The IRS is a law enforcement agency.
They have a criminal investigation division. Of course they have guns.

Broken down into details, especially compared to their respective law enforcement officers, these numbers are not odd at all. In fact, some of the numbers, especially ammunition, seems low. I’ve got more per gun.

Trump needs to do an E.O. to disperse the stuff. Just to make the public aware this is going on.

One doesn't depend upon the other. Every agency has to have security of one sort or another which nowadays is a good thing if you are doing business with the federal government offices.(Yes we are unarmed on government property so I'm ok with an armed guard on the premises.)
And people forget how Huuuuge the federal government has gotten!(It's Huuuuge!)

I THOROUGHLY agree. The IRS should NOT have firearms. Obama purchased those firearms/ammo to keep them out of the hands of citizens....

Just a little over 1000 rounds per weapon? Lots of Freepers can probably beat that average.

Well, maybe for security.
I worked there ......... waaaaaaaaaaay back.
Of course we only had a few security up front. While there were maybe 750 of us in the back.
I know the floor doing 1040A people had 500 on the floor on any given shift (yes there were 3 during the week).
I got moved to a special area that processed payments soon after starting so I wasn’t out on the main floor too long.
