Agencies like the EPA and IRS still stockpiling guns, ammo while Dems push to disarm the public
The National Sentinel ^ | 3/4/19 | J. D. Heyes

President Donald Trump has certainly brought some welcome relief to Americans in the form of curbing federal regulations, but he has a lot more to do — as do his Cabinet appointees — in terms of, shall we say, ‘defanging’ several agencies.

They include the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and others that have been weaponized, literally, to ‘deal with’ — not serve — the American people.

As Conservative Review reports, the IRS itself has 15 “submachine guns” and some 5 million rounds of ammunition on hand, but the tax collection agency is far from the only one belonging to the federal government that is becoming more heavily armed.

Citing a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report published in December, CR notes that several federal agencies are amassing weapons and ammunition at a rate that is frankly alarming...

When the SHTF they will be in the crosshairs. They know it, that’s why they are arming up.

Good luck fellas.

Why would anyone be surprised that a Federal law enforcement agency is armed?

Owning weapons and ammo doesn’t confer capability in their use.

I wonder how often EPA and IRS agents are in a life or death situation.
From Forbes: “According to one government audit, IRS Agents ‘Accidentally’ Discharged Guns 11 Times between 2009 and 2011.

Some resulted in property damage or personal injury, claimed the report. What’s more, agents accidentally fired their guns more times than they did intentionally, said the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. That would be a worry for any law enforcement agency.”

Atleast we got a head start on them. Between 2008 and 2011, Americans purchased 9 billion rounds of ammo.

You can include all the DIMS.

I just added three more to my arsenal: M4, Mossberg Shotty, and S&W M&P.

They can float all the gun bills they want.

This is obama’s “ domestic military force at least as large as the existing US military”. We thought pdjt was going to put a stop to this dangerous krap on his very first day in office ....

In a SHTF scenario, how do you differentiate friend from foe?

Most people wouldn’t trust their neighbors to pet-sit their dogs these days. Let alone the FedGov.

I imagine a very disturbing free-for-all in this country if the SHTF.

Non military federal agencies, state and local police forces around the entire country have literally THOUSANDS of machine guns. They have grenade launchers, military explosives, night vision, suppressors, 50bmg long range weapons.

Yet the American people are banned from having a bump stock because it simulates what a federal EPA agent is allowed to possess. Because everyone knows machine guns are only used to spray bullets everywhere and kill as many people as possible. This is the reason the EPA needs them. The department of education needs them. Your local police need them. Yes sometimes we the police or and EPA agent have a need to spray bullets everywhere and kill as many people as possible. It's a common 911 call don't ya know.

WHY ARE THE POLICE AND NON MILITARY FEDERAL AGENTS ALLOWED TO HAVE MACHINE GUNS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE BANNED FROM POSSESSING THEM?

They report to the executive branch, I.e., PDJT...They armed themselves during Obama’s reign to take away from us...if they still are armed then I blame PDJT for inaction.

I also doubt the number of IRS machine guns to be just 15. Me thinks they fudged that number a bit.

Join a group now, get involved and get to know who’s who.

I am in several:

Local Church Parish, KofC, Lions, Township Republicans.

It will be fulfilling time well spent building your local community. Strong comunities are more likely to be insulated from disruption and may even be a bulwark against things going sideways.

Now that's just stupid. Whoever at "Conservative review" reported that number certainly meant 15 guns per agent and ol' J.D. missed it.

It has gotten so ridiculous that even the Library of Congress has it’s own SWAT team.
