It seems that one of our pro-gun Congressmen recently introduced an act with the best name we’ve heard in a while: the “Why Does the IRS Have Guns Act.” What’s beautiful about this legislation is that it holds the IRS to the same standards that anti-gunners wish to impose on citizens. First, let’s have them tell us why they NEED a gun. Then, let’s have them explain why their guns should go pew-pew-pew instead of just pew-reload-pew. Finally, let’s just tell them to turn ’em all in or face consequences. Of course, this legislation is extremely unlikely to be passed, because it makes far too much sense. Still, it put a smile on our faces and we suspect it’ll put one on yours, too! For the details, we’re handing it over to the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms!

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today promptly applauded Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst’s introduction of legislation to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from arming its agents. Ernst is calling her measure the “Why Does the IRS Have Guns Act.”
“That’s really a very good question,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Why has the IRS spent millions of dollars on weapons and ammunition since the start of the coronavirus pandemic three years ago? According to a published report, the agency spent $2.3 million on ammunition, another $1.2 million on ballistic shields, $243,000 on body armor, nearly $475,000 on Smith & Wesson rifles and $463,000 on Beretta tactical shotguns.
“One has to wonder whether IRS agents are working for the taxpayers, or preparing to go to war against them,” he mused. “The worst thing people should ever face from the IRS is an audit, not a firing squad.”
Ernst’s legislation will prevent the IRS from buying, selling or storing firearms and ammunition 120 days after enactment, and require the IRS commissioner to transfer guns and ammunition to the General Services Administration where it would be auctioned off to federally-licensed firearms dealers to help bring down the federal deficit.
“Unfortunately,” Gottlieb quipped, “contributions to the Citizens Committee to support this legislation are not tax deductible. On the plus side, this means making a donation won’t trigger an IRS audit.
“American taxpayers feel intimidated enough by the IRS without facing the prospect of armed agents coming to our doors,” he observed. “What is truly alarming is that this has been going on for years, at the cost of more than $35 million since 2006. However, over the past couple of years, it appears the Biden administration has literally weaponized the agency, and the American public should not be amused. Disarming the IRS will make us all feel safer, and we’re delighted Sen. Ernst is willing to do something about it.”

A simple visual reminder that the 2026 ammo shortage was felt most quickly in the mainstream calibers many shooters buy in volume. The 2026 ammo shortage did not appear out of nowhere. For anyone watching the market closely, the warning signs were already there: thinner retail buffers, leaner distributor inventories, expensive imports, missing Russian steel-case…
For many Americans, supporting the Second Amendment starts with responsible gun ownership. But protecting our right to keep and bear arms requires more than purchasing firearms or ammunition. The Second Amendment survives when millions of Americans actively support the culture, organizations, and businesses that defend it. If you want to strengthen the pro-freedom movement, here…
If you’re trying to follow ghost gun rules without drowning in jargon, focus on one practical question: when does a “pile of parts” become a regulated firearm under federal law, and when do serialization and paperwork requirements actually attach? That question sits at the center of today’s ghost guns rule environment. It also explains why…

The Democrats have wanted to mimic the EU for years. They don’t know why, however, they believe USA would be better for it. I guess they missed the parts where the EU doesn’t want to be like the EU anymore.
Anything to give us up to the UN, WHO, and the other elite organizations the so admire. Fools,SMH
Why not just get rid of the IRS and repeal the 16th (and 17th while we’re at it) amendment. Then we won’t have to worry about them having guns. Short of doing that though I 100% agree. why do tax auditors need guns? If they have to arrest someone let the U.S. Marshalls, FBI (although they need to go as well) or local law enforcement do the arresting. Of course short of repealing the 16th amendment why not have a very simple tax structure so you don’t need an accountant to do your taxes and they don’t need accountants to verify your taxes.
I’m more curious about why does the Dept. of Education have guns? 13 years ago they had 100 Glocks and and at least 27, maybe 52 shotguns. I can’t imagine what the current tally is.
I’m sure by now they have a lot more guns than that now. Seeing how the Department of Education is not in the Constitution it should be shuttered and all employees laid off, permanently.
Just to provide facts in response to article and comments. I like to read comments. Every federal job category from lowest to highest level. iRS employees include some designated as GS1811 series. This is define as a criminal investigator authorized to conduct criminal investigations, make arrests and execute search warrants. There are criminals out there that commit tax crimes. They are armed and must go through regular firearms training and qualifications. Go back to the old days of Al Capone and Revenuers. There actually is a long history. I don’t believe they do audits. IRS has a large staff of accountants to crunch numbers. I’m not sure of their numbers at this time. I was not one.
I would imagine that under their office of inspector general they would have some criminal investigators, series gs. 1811 who are authorized by statute to be armed and make arrests, etc.
It’s all part of the dumbcraps having their own private army they can use to further socialism.
People are going to die because of the IRS, the IRS is like the FBI, they are now the enemy to this country and must be shut down.
