About that job report for armed IRS agents- here is a report where it all makes sense. Armed IRS agents are being trained to treat Americans like terrorists. And they apparently plan to assault Americans with ‘Weapons of War’.
Thomas Massie pointed out the Democrat’s exception of ‘Weapons Of War” for the IRS:
Last week, Democrats in the House passed a bill to ban Americans from buying AR-15s, calling the AR-15 a “weapon of war.”
They exempted IRS from the ban.
This week they will add tens of thousands of IRS agents to the budget.

Which is really scary when you consider the following news report from Valiant News:
In the Internal Revenue Service 2021 annual report, IRS Criminal Investigation special agents can be observed simulating an armed assault on a suburban home at the agency’s National Criminal Investigation Training Academy (NCITA), located within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Brunswick, Georgia.
According to the IRS, these IRS-CI agents are “are among the most highly trained financial investigators in the world” and train for 6 months.
While training at the NCITA, new IRS-CI special agents begin an 11-week Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) run by FLETC, where they learn firearms training and other traditional law enforcement tactics.
“CITP covers topics common to all federal law enforcement agents, including basic criminal investigation skills, federal criminal law, courtroom procedures, enforcement operations, interviewing skills, and firearms training,” the IRS report states.
While conducting firearms training, IRS-CI special agents wear tactical clothing that reads “POLICE” and “IRS-CI.”

“Following CITP, new special agent trainees take a 14-week NCITA Special Agent Investigative Techniques (SAIT) course. The SAIT program trains new agents in tax law, evidence gathering, interviewing, report writing, methods of proving unreported income, and money laundering violations,” the report continues.
IRS-CI Special Agents Building Entry Training at Phoenix Field Office – IRS 2021 Annual Report
“IRS:CI special agents receive regular refresher training. They attend quarterly training in firearms, defensive tactics, and building entry,” the report reads.
“Through frequent use of force training, they maintain their skills and abilities to ensure good judgement and to apply the appropriate degree of force necessary to safely carry out enforcement activities, including issuing search warrants, arrests, surveillance, dignitary protection, undercover activities, and seizures.”

The Biden administration and Democrats have recently come under scrutiny over their “Inflation Reduction Act,” which allocates nearly $80 billion to the IRS, with $45.6 billion going to “enforcement.” Among other provisions in the controversial spending bill include an additional hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents.
The administration, along with Democrats who support the bill, insist that the newly expanded force of IRS agents will not target lower and middle class Americans with audits, but instead the rich, who are vastly outnumbered by everyone else.
However, some have noted that over 75% of IRS audits targeted Americans making under $200,000 per year.

And of course there is the question of why the IRS needs five Million rounds of ammo?
According to Americans for Tax Reform:
The current 4,600-gun stockpile for the IRS includes:
3,282 pistols
621 shotguns
539 rifles
15 fully automatic firearms
4 revolvers
According to the Government Accountability Office the ammunition breakdown is as follows:
- Pistol and revolver rounds: 3,151,500
- Rifle rounds: 1,472,050
- Shotgun rounds: 367,750
- Fully automatic firearm rounds: 56,000
When OpenTheBooks directly asked the IRS for an accounting of its gun locker, the agency responded, “We don’t have one [an inventory], but could create one for you, if important.”
