Regardless my question doesnt lie with supply or demand, its with the massive influx in quantity that outpaces hiring.

What evidence do you have that this is outpacing hiring in any way?

How do you know the intended use of the ammunition? For example, the GAO report I linked to above showed a stock pile of roughly five million rounds in 2017. Could it be they just have a large reserve that needed replenishing? Could it be that they have an increased range training cadence? Could it be someone bungled an order and went hog wild with that sweet, government pork? Could it be something else? How do you know?

Your statement is rife with ignorance.

NOT ignorance. I am aware of everything you just wrote. The question still stands, and I'm not the only one asking it.

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.”

The IRS is no better than the "band of highwaymen" Gaetz describes them as.

Yep because people, even criminals have large quantities of cash in their places of living, ready for the evil IRS to come and get them by force.

Yep I go it, maybe drug cartels do, but you know they do not pay any taxes.

How about a bar owner who faked the bar's sales tax revenue, failed to withhold income tax on his employees (but pocketed the amounts he reported as held), and kept his illegal income, in cash, hidden behind a wall panel behind a sofa in his private office: agents found well over $300,000 there.

Then why would you post something so blatantly and demonstrably incorrect? 🤡

What about all the other Federal police agencies then? Should they be disarmed as well? Why? Why not?

Ok, so we have to abide by the BS unconstitutional tax code but people like hunter biden do not. Nor do the super wealthy who use loopholes to evade it.

Could it be that I dont give the IRS the benefit of the doubt bases on history?


How can I know about the decline? From your source on the first page!!

The IRS’s enforcement budget decreased by 15% over this time period, leading to a 20% decline in the IRS workforce.
These losses have been most significant for revenue officers who collect taxes (50% decrease) and revenue agents who audit
complex returns (35% decrease). Today, the IRS has fewer auditors than at any time since World War II. As experienced employees
have retired, the IRS has been unable to replace departing workers with new revenue officers and with agents of comparable training
and skills necessary to pursue the most complicated noncompliance cases.

Hows that boot taste?

This is soo funny, the democrats want to defund the police, but wants to arm to the teeth a bunch of goons so they can harass hard working Americans.

Does not that sound kind of weird, is just me.

They are coming for ya guns

PM for you

Ah, sweet! Out of context quotations! I had that on my BINGO card for this thread. Almost there! 🤞

Despite preexisting needs to modernize outdated systems and to detect increasingly complex evasion, the last decade shows a decrease—rather than an increase—in IRS resources. In real terms, the IRS’s overall budget declined by 18.5% between FY 2010 and FY 2021.

There's the part that I omitted due to it not being relevant. It still isn't. Here's a participation medal for doing your best: 🏅

Why not answer any of the other questions?

Well that's a whole other issue, mostly doing to do with local police will want to work with their local population and would be harder to control in any capacity in a martial law type scenario. Federal police, given broad protections and not in their local area? Well, they won't have as much of an issue "just following orders" if you get my drift.

Honestly, I'd like to disarm them all or arm everyone equally. Let a Purge type scenario begin and let it sort itself out over a few months to a year. Start a new government with what remains. But that's about as realistic as the IRS going away.

I really do not like the way the democrats are changing rules to get their totalitarian agendas established as the new normal.

We are a Republic and before the Republic is killed something needs to be done, cmdrkeenkid.

Dangerous times ahead for our nation.

Why is an agency that is not part of law enforcement or the military given any authority at all to detain, arrest, or shoot a citizen of the Unites States?

They are accountants and bookkeepers FFS!

Dude.

Banana Republic.

Remember?

The Stasi can't infringe on your rights if they aren't armed and fit!

a reply to: marg6043

Both sides, Republicans and Democrats, play that game. Both parties are a cancer on this country. Most of the slippery slope of erosion of rights we've been on started in 2001, and most of those years we've had Republicans in power. The Democrats just have a better media division to get their propaganda across.

Enough money to hire 87,000 accountants and bookkeepers, not a dime for border patrol agents.

CLOWN WORLD
