IRS Agents with guns

mikeya02
I just found out IRS agents are being trained with semi-automatic weapons. What reasoning is behind this? Shouldn't they be armed with pens and laptops?

WEll...they can't force people to pay their taxes and obamacare without guns. I've seen projections for health premiums to nearly double in the next year. Plus, YOU HAVE to have health care. My apologies to whoever at the NSA has to read this, but it all just seems rather un-American.

Its simple the govt is arming up everybody while trying to disarm the populace. They know that IRS scandals, NSA scandals and whatever else they are hiding could cause civil unrest. So why not arm the tax man as well since they fear pissed of Americans with guns. They also know if there were to be some sort of protest or uprising that the tax man is a likely target.

However, I havent heard about this. Nor do I see a link. Anybody have one to post? I would laugh at an IRS agent showing up at my place to audit me with a gun. It would be comical yet a little un-nerving all at once.

They are part of Obama's private army that answers only to the White House (this is actually in the affordable health care act bill for "emergencies" determined by the administration). He cannot count on the regular army to murder and arrest his political opponents since they swear and oath to uphold the Constitution and defend the USA not blindly obey a Chicago criminal.

This isn't a new thing, this division of IRS isn't just the auditor, they are a law enforcement agency just like any other. Compare to a white collar crime division of FBI or something that only deals with arresting tax evaders, raiding an office and collecting evidence to be used in investigations, etc...

Side note, did I just see Alucard suggesting that it's ok for the government to protect themselves, even though we know that he thinks regular people shouldn't? Or did I misread that somehow?

Then add to the extensive firearms training of Federal Police (almost ALL the agencies have armed agents) the fact that the Federal government (Executive branch - not military) is buying up almost all the ammo that makers can produce - including hollow point.

It has been 238 years since the last time people on this continent acted in response to intentional government overreach. Will it happen again? Is that why the Feds now have between 100,000 and 250,000 federal employees receiving firearms training?

I heard the postal service is so far in debt because they are buying all the battle tanks on the market. Even the Army cant get any now because since Obama doesn't trust the Army they don't have buying priority, the P.O. does. The plan is for all them between 100-250k federal employees to drop everything when the Supreme leader makes his call, hop in them thar tanks and take over America. The first target will be Mikey's house, or you know,the studio apt he shares with his mommy. They don't like people who expose their plans.

Once its all said and done. We will have real socialism here. TireddumbfuckTraveler will be forced to work and he'll no longer be able to attend strip clubs. He will instead just directly hand his money over to them loser druggie girls with no lapdance as middleman.

America is finished. The end is near! Get the kool-aid ready, mikey, Tireddumbfuck and Dallas is done got thirstee!

@doritos boy; what's that old saying? Better to keep silent and have others think you a fool, rather than open your mouth and prove you're one. Shove some bean dip in your mouth, that should fix things.
