Disarming the Internal Revenue Service.

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, introduced a bill to ban the Internal Revenue Service from acquiring ammunition. The Disarm the IRS act would ban the agency responsible for tax enforcement from purchasing ammunition after the agency already has stockpiled more than 5 million rounds. This year alone, the IRS has purchased $725,000 worth of ammunition.   

"I’m not against stockpiling ammunition, but you shouldn’t have to be a D.C. accountant to do it." Gaetz told Fox News. 

The Biden administration wants to "disarm Americans, open the border, empty the prisons,” and “still collect your taxes" with $725,000 worth of ammunition to do it, he said… According to a Government Accountability Office report, in 2018, there were 2,148 law enforcement officers working for the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division. They were armed with 4,461 weapons, including 15 fully automatic weapons and more than 5 million rounds of ammunition (Just the News).

Openthebooks.com CEO Adam Andrzejewski told The Center Square, "After grabbing legal power, bureaucrats are amassing firepower. It’s time to scale back the federal arsenal. Just who are the federal agencies preparing to battle?"

Great question, and we know the answer.  Biden is looking to hire more than 80,000 IRS "agents." If they are hiring 80,000 to look after the nation’s 735 billionaires, that’s roughly 108 agents per billionaire. Something tells me that’s not the case. Why would we think the IRS will be weaponized against conservatives? 

History. Let’s not forget how the IRS was caught red-handed going after conservatives during the Obama years. No one was charged for the misconduct, but Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions was kind enough to apologize for the anti-conservative debacle (PJ Media).
