Critics were mocked as ‘right-wing fear-mongers’

The issue of Internal Revenue Service agents carrying weapons may warrant further scrutiny amid the nationwide distrust of the agency for targeting conservative organizations.

The IRS is also the chief enforcer of Obamacare requirements.

In 2010, the Federal Business Opportunities website posted an IRS request for a quote on the price of shotguns for the agency’s Criminal Investigation Division.

The site sought a quote for 60 Remington Model 870 Police 12-gauge pump-action shotguns, the only weapons authorized for IRS duty.

The IRS Criminal Division includes roughly 2,700 special agents who are required to carry a firearm.

According to the basic qualifications for a position as an IRS special agent for the criminal division, “applicants must carry and use a firearm.”

In October 2012, J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, released a report charging IRS agents need more thorough firearms training and must better report accidental firings of their guns.

      They are creating a tidy little web of tyranny. IRS, DHS, FEMA, TSA, FBI. They will have us all by the short and curlies through restrictions on how we travel, access healthcare, report or income, survive a disaster and raise our children.

      Is refusal to comply with an IRS agent against federal law?

    • desertspeaks

      this is part of obama’s BROWN SHIRTS! obama told us he wants a civilian force that is just as well armed and financed as the military!! One of the few times obama didn’t lie!
