The Internal Revenue Service had in its weapons inventory 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition as of late 2017, according to a report published this month by the Government Accountability Office.

Included in this arsenal, according to the GAO, were 15 “fully automatic firearms” and 56,000 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

The same report--"Federal Law Enforcement: Purchases and Inventory Controls of Firearms, Ammuntion, and Tactical Equipment"--says that the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services had 194 fully automatic firearms and 386,952 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

That’s just over 1000 rds. per weapon....pikers!

That was what I meant too.

Heh!
I’m sitting here playing Far Cry 5 laughing.
Yeah. They’re totally unprepared.

I would like see the requisition orders and the periodic inventory records.

Any of this stuff show up in Las Vegas or Parkland?

HHS being Armed baffles Me.

Capone died in Alcatraz of syphilis, not tax evasion.

Yes but to get there he got screwed by the IRS...

[an amused spectator]

That's OK.

All we have to do is figure out where the storage containers are. ;-)

That’s 4487 too many guns for a civilian agency. They need to be disarmed immediately. They csn always call the f b I or police if any assistance is ever required. Obama was militarizing civilian agencies. Part of his “3 million strong domestic army” plans. Extremely dangerous

lol

[CapnJack]

Yes ... Sell them through the CMP

[Lockbox]

Any magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition?

“GAO: IRS Had 4,487 Guns; 5,062,006 Rounds of Ammunition”

The big hope is that a lot if them will accidentally shoot themselves.

[oldasrocks]

Sell the guns and ammo and use the money for the wall.

Didn’t I read that the EPA had a bunch of guns and ammo too?

“The IRS is a law enforcement agency.”

Gotta be able to deal with senior citizens who forgot to include $50 of miscellaneous income don’t you know.

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

Except .22LR.

Everyone really should have enough .22LR that they don't have any idea of how many rounds they have.

Keeps both out of the hands of those pesky, law-abiding citizens.
