(PCC)For the past several years, patriots across America have been calling for the disarming of the IRS. Under the Biden administration, the IRS got tens of billions of dollars, much of which was earmarked for weapons and ammunition, yielding vast firepower against families and small businesses.
Why does your auditor need to carry an assault weapon and come to your business in an armored vehicle and wear a bullet belt for a simple audit with you and your accountant?
Where is the history of danger for the IRS auditor? None that we can find!
In the midst of Tax Day frustrations and growing public scrutiny over how the U.S. government spends taxpayer money, a group of House Republicans has ignited a bold conversation: Why does the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) need to be armed with automatic weapons and military-grade assault armaments ?
Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) has introduced legislation that takes direct aim at what many view as an alarming and unnecessary militarization of a tax collection agency. His bill, titled the “Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act,” would prohibit the IRS from purchasing, receiving, or storing firearms and ammunition, while requiring all current IRS weaponry and ammo to be transferred to the General Services Administration. These firearms would then be auctioned off to licensed dealers and ammunition to the public, with proceeds dedicated to deficit reduction.
“The only thing IRS agents should be armed with are calculators,” Moore stated in a press release, cutting to the heart of a growing sentiment among many Americans who are concerned about the expanding power of federal agencies.
How would you feel if you knew ‘Rambo The Auditor’ was coming to your home fully armed with automatic weapons, grenades, and his war paint on? 😱
Ninja-trained, heavily armed audit agents are reminiscent of Red Chinese tax collection techniques of the 20th century! Critics have long pointed to disturbing patterns of political and ideological targeting by the IRS. Religious groups, journalists, conservatives, and even everyday citizens have all reportedly been caught in the agency’s crosshairs over the years.
While the IRS is technically tasked with tax collection and enforcement, its Criminal Investigation Division, currently authorized to carry heavy firearms, has raised fears of strong-arm thug tactics and intimidation tricks.
In what world does a bean counter need a loaded clip and an automatic arsenal to visit Grandma?
Rep. Moore’s bill doesn’t just strip the IRS of its weapons. It also transfers its criminal investigation functions to the Department of Justice, where law enforcement duties actually belong. This would guarantee that trained federal law enforcement, not heavily armed audit agents with sustainable firepower, handles any criminal tax matters.
The issue isn’t about being “anti-tax” or ignoring financial crimes. It’s about proportion, accountability, and the proper role of government. Agencies like the IRS wield enormous authority over ordinary citizens. When that power is backed with firepower, it sends a message that our own government views us more like enemies than constituents.
Tax enforcement should not be militarized. We are not a war zone. When the agency collecting your paycheck’s last dime is also armed like a SWAT team, that’s not fiscal responsibility; that’s government overreach and open thuggery.
Americans are already questioning how their tax dollars are spent. Tens of billions go to bureaucracy, waste, and programs that many Americans never approved or voted on. Now we’re learning that some of that money has helped the IRS stockpile guns, ammunition, and tactical attack armament.
Rep. Moore isn’t alone in his concerns. The bill is backed by Reps. Harriet Hageman (WY), Mary Miller (IL), and Clay Higgins (LA). Reps. Harriet Hageman (WY), Mary Miller (IL), and Clay Higgins (LA) make it clear that the IRS is the one federal agency that does not require a bulletproof vest.
Moore’s proposal is more than a political jab. It’s a reflection of rising concern that many Americans share about unchecked government power. We’ve long accepted that the federal government should have some form of law enforcement, but the proliferation of armed audit agents across dozens of agencies raises an urgent question: How many automatic weapons, field-grade armaments, and field artillery does the federal government need to govern its people?
Isn’t the Second Amendment the inverse of this? Shouldn’t We the People arm ourselves against the government and disarm it against us?
We have military branches, federal law enforcement agencies, local police departments, and state troopers. Adding gun-toting tax collectors into the mix feels like an Orwellian step too far.
We the People shouldn’t fear an audit because it might involve a heavily armed SWAT Team of auditors. We the People shouldn’t worry that a bureaucratic agency has the firepower to use force against Americans in a tax dispute. And taxpayers shouldn’t have to wonder if the same people calculating their deductions are also stockpiling ammo and being trained on the firing range.
It’s time to strip the IRS of its firepower and return it to what it was meant to be: a paper-pushing, number-crunching administrative body that ensures tax compliance, not a paramilitary unit.
Final Word: The number one weapon for the IRS should be a calculator, not automatic weapons, grenade launchers, and not be a battle-trained ninja audit agent! YIKES!
