It’s no secret that the Democrat Party, also currently known as the Federal Government, is opposed to an armed citizenry. And as someone who has been shot at, I understand that not everyone should own a gun. But it is telling that those in favor of total disarmament always look past the motivations and the mindset of the shooters in question. One could argue that the uptick in violence across the country is the result of a decline in behavior and expectations and the blessing of criminal behavior by state and local authorities. When societal norms break down, violence is a given.
But while the government wants to get its hands on your firearms, it has been loading up on them like it is 4 a.m. at a Black Friday sale. A story that The New York Post broke a month ago is now making its way around talk radio and other outlets and bears repeating here. in fact, it should be a major talking point around water coolers, over back fences, on your social media feeds, and at your favorite eatery or pub.
Since 2020, the IRS has spent $10 million on weapons, ammunition, and the accompanying accessories and accouterments. In theory, I understand why entities such as the FBI, ATF, and the U.S. Marshals Service need such things. And if our federal government were not so dysfunctional, I would sleep a little better. But the IRS? Health and Human Services? Why do these agencies need to arm up? And given the fact that a new debt ceiling deal has been hammered out, you need to know just how much money these agencies are spending and for what.

Ask yourself why Health and Human services would need night vision equipment?
Simple explanation....they will transition into a Federal police force.
Because they plan to do things to you for which they will have to threaten you with death to achieve compliance.
WHew... I am so relieved ...
I was thinking about buying a gun.
But now that I know that our benevolent government has armed up, I won't have to.
Here’s a simple campaign promise every GOP contender can make.
It can be done by executive order, doesn’t need Congress or the “power of the purse”
On first day in office, an EO will be issued which bans the FBI from holding, handling or training with fire-arms in any form.
If they need to conduct a potentially dangerous raid, they can cooperate with local police and US Marshals.

Do you think HHS needs security guards and surveillance equipment for their buildings?
The Feds are stockpiling these items so when the 87000 IRS Agents are hired they will be combat ready. Biden’s puppet master is planning in advance.
“I understand that not everyone should own a gun.”
Lost me there.
If you want one, get one. If you don’t, don’t.
EVERYBODY - no exceptions-
Yes, Killers, Wife/Husband Beaters, Child Rapists . . .
Also, must expand Castle/No Retreat so we can defend ourselves.
Lots of arseholes out there, that won’t be around long so we won’t have to be concerned about them anymore.
It’ll take about 2 years of smoke and noise to clean out 100 years of dead-wood, then . . .
Peace throughout the land.
I’m OK with that.
They need arms and ammunition for these invaders the government is paying to invade our country. Why do you think the majority of these invaders are military age?
It’s not to mow your lawn. 🧐
That’s not what it said they purchased.
$400K on tactical combat gear
$250,000 on ammunition
$100,000 on new guns
$47,000 on Night vision equipment
$100,000 worth of virtual reality simulation training.
$85,000 on Ballistic plates and Body armor
240 new black chrome batons.

You posted about night vision equipment which is very useful in building secuirty.
IIRC——UNDER OBAMA-—the Social Security Administration bought $ millions in guns & ammo-—particularly AMMO.
At the same time that Obama was shutting down the LAST LEAD PROCESsING PLANT IN THE USA.
The good news is they won’t provide any meaningful training for these desk jockeys.
Hadn’t seen that one before
Not that I don’t believe you; I DO. This has been going on for a while. Can I ask you where the source information is from, like what government websites?
Just so I can back myself up in case I get into it with someone who won’t believe it.
They are pushing to find the flashpoint. Mark my words.
They Be Pushing...
and No One knows how it ends
Much less how it starts.
The intended ‘slaves’ of these
Tyrants will be well armed and
Highly Motivated.
The first such endeavor.
