“Disarm the IRS Act” Introduced

Finally, a piece of legislation I can support wholeheartedly...

Outspoken Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has introduced the “Disarm the IRS Act,” which bars the government agency from acquiring or purchasing any ammunition following the passage of the bill.
“Call me old fashioned, but I thought the heaviest artillery an IRS agent would need would be a calculator,” said Gaetz in an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. “Like, I imagined the IRS in green eyeshades and cubicles, not busting doors down and emptying Glock clips on our fellow Americans. And certainly it’s troubling that in 2022 alone, the IRS has spent around $725,000 on ammunition.
So, here’s the Biden plan: Disarm Americans, open the border, empty the prisons, but rest assured they’ll still collect your taxes, and they need $725,000 worth of ammunition apparently, to get the job done.”

My stance on the IRS is no secret. It should not exist. Neither should the 16th amendment, but it's unlikely either is going away any time soon, so I would settle for disarming them instead of U.S. citizens. Nevertheless, the proposed legislation falls short of actually disarming the IRS. Instead, Gaetz seems to be taking the same approach that has been used on gun owners...attrition, but it would keep them from buying up any more ammo and make it available to the public instead, which is a good thing.

The Firearms Policy Coalition twittered their support for the legislation...

It's time we disarm this band of highwaymen and stop them from taking our money under the threat of violence.

They are thugs working for gangsters and governments collecting protection money.

It is worth noting the "Government Accountability Office has reported that...

...103 federal agencies outside of the Department of Defense and 76 administrative agencies spent $2.7 billion and $110.6 million, respectively, on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between fiscal years 2015 and 2018.
...As of 2016, [it has] been reported that there are more non-Department of Defense federal officers with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (182,000).

Brackets mine for readability.

Seriously? Almost 3 billion dollars to arm the bureaucracy?

As long as we got the communist in government this will go nowhere, it is the communist that wants the IRS to become stronger, because they need to keep looting the taxpayer in order to use the money for their own benefit, in the meanwhile every time the communist loot the taxpayer, inflation keeps growing, but the looting keeps going.

When people are going to realized that the communist are stealing Americans tax dollars, that is why they need a bigger stronger IRS.

It's chilling to think the IRS is armed when it's not really even part of the federal government.

That is the scary part, it is not, is like an all for porfit entity that is stealing our hard-earned dollars, for themselves and their backers.

When it was established to support, the civil war union, it was a temporary thing, look at them now, the biggest entity stealing our tax dollars, the stealing was soo good that a ratification of the 16 amendment was done.

To make it legal to steal the hard-working people's money.

The Fed Reserve was one of the most blatant government take overs in history - It was and still is illegal

The Fed reserve or the IRS should not exist legally .

IRS put out a Chicago ad looking (begging) for people, offering $15 @ hour, like it was gold.

Must be part of Joe's plan to "supersize the IRS".

Stated simply, federal employees have more guns than the average constituency. Problem or solution? You decide.

The IRS is Stockpiling Ammo for FBI NSA CIA etc.
They just needed a Warehouse for all of the IDIOT Agencies.

Money was funneled through to the DNC to finance election candidates .

Sure , why do they need them ? For Hunting ?.... just a fair question right....a reply to: Klassified

Since the IRS currently employs about 78,000 now the increase will double the size of the operation. They staff about 650 offices nationwide.
Yes they are playing the part of ammo depot for other agencies but that's still too much lead when better than 80% of their targets are white collar offenders.

IRS Agents start at $15 @ hour.

Before they can be promoted, the well will run dry, or be drained dry by Republicans in Sept 2023.

I'm just curious why the IRS needs guns and ammo. Do they have the ability to arrest someone? Or execute searches? I'm just at a loss here because the IRS is nothing more than a collection agency for the PRIVATE company known as the "Federal Reserve".

Democrats are trying their hardest to disarm American citizens, all while these "federal" agencies are arming themselves to the teeth . Now why would that be? 🤔

IRS UPDATE

At last inspection, the Internal Revenue Service had:

4,500 GUNS

5 Million rounds of Ammo.

Soon to come....87,000 men-women-other trained to use them by Gestapo-emulating leaders, on U.S. Citizens.
