IRS Has Spent $10 Million on ‘Weaponry and Gear’ Since Start of Coronavirus Pandemic, Report Says

By Fox News. The Internal Revenue Service has spent $10 million on “weaponry and gear,” including rifles and tactical shotguns, since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, a new report says.

The findings from OpenTheBooks come as the IRS is looking to hire special agents who will carry guns and make arrests, with jobs available in all 50 states, according to a posting on the agency’s website.

“The years 2020 and 2021 were peak years at the IRS for purchasing weaponry and gear. Just since the pandemic started, the IRS has purchased $10 million in weaponry and gear,” says the report from OpenTheBooks, which describes itself as a nonprofit, nonpartisan “government watchdog organization.” . . .

OpenTheBooks says that prior to 2020, the IRS already had “4,500 guns and has stockpiled 5 million rounds of ammunition for use by its 2,159 special agents.” . . .

The organization also said there are “now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (186,000).” (Read more from “IRS Has Spent $10 Million on ‘Weaponry and Gear’ Since Start of Coronavirus Pandemic, Report Says” HERE)
