I wonder just who they're buying it for (if the plan is to distribute it) or if they're storing it to create a shortage. Weaponized IRS has just taken on a new meaning. I don't know about the legalities of this, but it seems like a rather suspicious purchase for a tax collecting organization.

Yeah, I posted above some rough numbers, this is worse than I estimated, but only that many armed agents, I don't imagine they're trying to prevent us from having ammo, sounds like they're buying and practicing.
5.56 ain't cheap. Even shotgun is stupid expensive right now.
Thanks for the analysis, Rooks. Did you check out the Townhall link (numbers from Jan 2019) of how many firearms and how much ammo the IRS has already stockpiled?
Edit: box per month at $30 (for 9mm example) times 2636 armed agents is $79,080 per month so the purchase would be for nine-ten months NOT considering whatever they already have stockpiled. And if only five boxes per year vs twelve that's over twice the supply so up to over a year-and-a-half supply purchased in those three months.
