Democrat criminals continue to abuse the American People’s rights by using government agencies buy many millions of rounds of ammunition, as a way to keep it out of the hands of the American Gun Owner’s hands – thereby enacting backdoor gun control.
CORRUPT DEMOCRAT CRIMINALS USE IRS & OTHER GVT AGENCIES TO BUY UP ALL OF THE AVAILABLE AMMUNITION – ENACT BACKDOOR GUN CONTROL
This illegal practice of democrat criminals abusing their power and using government agencies, and taxpayer dollars, to buy up all of the available ammunition, and/or make the remaining ammo much more expensive. This is the democrat’s backdoor way of taking away your gun rights, without taking your guns. After all, you can’t use your firearm if you have no bullets.
This illegal practice started under Obama’s watch and is now being continued by the illegitimate fake “president” Biden. So, we have known this for quite some time, but it is coming back up and has not been resolved yet.
There is no need for the IRS to have ANY ammunition, and certainly shouldn’t be buying up millions upon millions of rounds they will never use.
Republicans need to put an immediate end to the democrats illegal backdoor gun control!
Apparently, the IRS needs a little firepower to help with those audits.
The IRS has stockpiled five million rounds of ammunition and spent $725,000 on bullets this year, according to Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who has introduced a bill to block future ammunition purchases by the agency.
The Republican lawmaker announced his sponsorship of the Disarm the IRS Act in a July press release. The bill would ban the IRS from acquiring ammunition through direct purchase or otherwise. The bill awaits a potential vote in the House Ways and Means Committee.
Cosponsors of the bill included three additional U.S. House of Representative members: Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.).

The issue drew national attention after Gaetz appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Waters Primetime last week, saying that the IRS had spent $750,000 in 2022 alone on ammunition.“Call me old-fashioned, but I thought the heaviest artillery an IRS agent would need would be a calculator, not $725,000 worth of ammunition,” Gaetz said during his appearance on Fox News.
Other bill cosponsors took to social media, questioning the need for a heavily armed tax agency.
“Why is Biden trying to weaponize the IRS?” Rep. Jeff Duncan posted on Twitter on July 7, adding that while the IRS builds up its arsenal, citizen Americans face ammunition shortages.
Rep. Gosar commented on Twitter July 14 that it was time to disarm “this band of highwaymen and stop them from taking our money under the threat of violence.”
While people may not think of the IRS needing weapons and ammunition, it has a criminal investigation division with armed law enforcement to pursue tax felons.
A 2018 report from the Government Accountability Office said the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division had 2,148 law enforcement officers, 4,461 weapons—including 15 fully automatic firearms—and 5.05 million rounds of ammunition.
According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, four officers with the IRS have died since 1989 from medical conditions or accidents. None was firearm related.
