Bill taking aim at IRS would strip agency of guns and ammo
[FoxNews] While American taxpayers are familiar with the annual rigmarole of filing their federal taxes and realizing just how much of their hard-earned money Uncle Sam is taking away, several House Republicans are pushing a proposal to take some things away from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Guns and ammunition.

The "Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act" would disarm the federal agency, prohibiting the commissioner of internal revenue from using funds to buy, receive or store firearms and ammo, and requiring the transfer of IRS firearms and ammunition to the Administrator of General Services.

The guns would then be sold or auctioned to licensed dealers and the ammo would be auctioned to the public.

Proceeds would go to "the general fund of the Treasury for the sole purpose of deficit reduction," the measure stipulates.

#1 Lets see if congress (both houses) has the gut to actually pass this bill!

The IRS does not need armed agents, That's the US marshal and the DOJ job.
