    I R S Army

    CNSNews.com) - The Internal Revenue Service had in its weapons inventory 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition as of late 2017, according to a report published this month by the Government Accountability Office.

    Included in this arsenal, according to the GAO, were 15 “fully automatic firearms” and 56,000 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

    Can anyone explain just why the IRS needs all those guns and ammo?.

    Could it be that we need to start paying attention to all those phone calls stating we owe money and if we don't immediately send it the local cops will come drag us off to the jail?.

    Wish life was simple, but a lot has changed since I've been alive.

    I would assume that any sort of attack on a government agency would bring the other response, "Why weren't they prepared". So to that end it's another can't win situation.

    When I was in government, we often spent money on tangible assets that would endure rather than on assets that would not endure. One can keep weapons and ammo for significant periods of time.

    Your comment brings up an issue that I used to deal with on an annual basis.

    I did significant work for the Navy, eventually I had one crew on base full time and would supplement with additional crews as required.

    They would always give me "fair warning" toward the end of the fiscal year regarding how much they had to spend and what they wanted to do so that I had crews on the ready.

    They were on the spend it or lose it plan.

    I hear that, Dave. I think that you'd be an asset for our government to deal with.
