"Between the huge sums aimed directly at enforcement activities and operations support, expect a large majority of the $88 billion of new IRS funding to directly or indirectly support things like asset monitoring, audits, taxpayer investigations, and legal actions against taxpayers," they continue.
"On the issue of enforcement actives and operations support," Americans for Tax Reform is reminding taxpayers the IRS already has substantial authority and power. This includes ownership of thousands of guns and agents who can be deployed to use them.
The IRS has stockpiled 4,600 guns and five million rounds of ammunition as of Jan. 1, 2019 according to a report from OpenTheBooks published in 2020.
An OpenTheBooks report titled The Militarization of U.S. Executive Agencies shows that, even without the proposed $80 billion increase in funding, the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI) is already heavily armed at the expense of the American taxpayer. How much larger will this unchecked arsenal get if the agency gets more funding?
The current 4,600-gun stockpile includes 621 shotguns, 539 long-barrel rifles, and 15 submachine guns.
According to the Government Accountability Office the ammunition breakdown is as follows:
Pistol and revolver rounds: 3,151,500
Rifle rounds: 1,472,050
Shotgun rounds: 367,750
Fully automatic firearm rounds: 56,000

Fully automatic firearm rounds must be those ones that shoot themselves.
Somebody gotta keep watch.
Only if pointed at the jury. Was finger binger sending a message from $blm/pantyfa?
I wonder how many scoped, minute of angle, bolt action 270 Winchesters they have?😎
Whether he intended to or not, he was sending a message.
im sure they have some of what we need .
Fully automatic rounds are belt linked rounds for use in a belt fed weapon such as a M249 or M240 being 5.56 mm and 7.62mm respectively as opposed to bulk ammo that is loaded in magazines for use in box fed rifles or magazine fed pistols. The U.S. Military also inventories ammo this way with separate line items for belts of ammo vs bulk boxes. There is also an exception made for special 9mm rounds that meet the NATO SMG standard which cannot be used in any weapon but a 9mm sub machine gun because they are loaded to much higher chamber pressures than would be safe in a blowback pistol.
Remember back in the day, before county sheriffs ceded their authority over, when they were #1 LEO in the county and would toss the feds if they wanted to.
Yeah. They sold their souls to the “Federal” Dollar.
The Fed’s would use M40 or M110 class rifles in 7.62 or additionally the option of 300 winmag for the M40 some might also have larger 338 Lapua mag typically the Ruger precision version which is also what the U.S. military uses. They all source from the same GAO contract sources. 270 would not be a caliber used. Every one of those rifles is factory tested and certified for submoa the Ruger is rated at .25 MOA or better from the factory.
It’s not how many guns or how much ammunition.
It’s how many guys you have who will stand and fight if someone(s) is shooting back at them.
“From the Rittenhouse trial, I understand that the full metal jacket ones are particularly deadly!”
Ah contraire, the hollow point bullets actually explode according to Binger.
I get ‘’why’’ with some parts of IRS ... but?
Why the EPA?

The IRS has all that?
.
By most if not all state constitutions that is still true.
Some sheriffs let the feds do what they want because they don’t want to lose the federal freebees.
