Joni Ernst Proposes to Sell Millions of Dollars of IRS Firearms to Pay Off National Debt

Breitbart-

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Monday introduced legislation that would sell off millions of dollars of the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) firearms to pay for the national debt.

As America approaches Tax Day on Tuesday, Ernst introduced the Why Does the IRS Needs Guns Act to reform how the agency handles firearms. The Iowa senator introduced the legislation after reports from Open the Books have suggested the IRS would one of the top 50 largest police departments based on its headcount and stockpiling of firearms and ammunition.

“Why is the IRS wasting millions of our tax dollars stockpiling guns and ammo?” Ernst asked rhetorically in a written statement.

She continued, “This is especially concerning, given the history of partisan witch hunts within the agency, and the fact it is more common for IRS agents to accidentally fire their weapon, than to do so intentionally. I am selling off the agency’s firearms, using the proceeds to pay down the bloated national debt, and recommending firearm safety courses for these tax collectors.” more here

  1. Don’t stop there. The USDA, and COUNTLESS other federal agencies are armed to the teeth against the US citizenry. Go after the tens of thousands of IRS agents who OWE BACK TAXES TOO!!!! THAT is a bigger story.

  2. One of the reasons they bought up ammo is to cause shortages for the civilian market. I would imagine that they figured they needed guns in order to justify having the ammo.

    And they probably figured that those 80,000 new IRS agents needed to be armed to hunt down those 759 billionaires who were wreaking such havoc in the US.

  3. Where did the IRS get the money to buy firearms? Unless I’m mistaken it came from congress. Where did congress get the money to give to the IRS? Unless I’m mistaken it came from the taxpayers. I don’ trust Joni or any of the bastards in congress to decide where or how to spend taxpayer money. Why are we in a debt? FU CONGRESS!!!

  7. As I remember, back when Barry was busy arming up these formerly passive institutions, the two largest recipients of weapons were the Social Security Administration, and The L.A County School District.

    I guess after the IRS takes your house for back taxes, they’ll hold an AR to your head to pay the next year.
