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.

I have never seen an IRS type SWAT team. I can see no reason why they would need them, but my wife worked a temporary job at the IRS, and she passed through a guard desk, with an armed IRS agent. Simply flashed the IRS badge, and pass through security to the elevator.
She was just a basic auditor, took the assigned case load, verified paperwork, etc.
Just trying to give the benefit of the doubt. The place I work at has armed guards, but they are contractors. I don't know if NASA in Huntsville, or if Kennedy Space Flight Center uses contractors, Federal employees or a mix. But, those guards are all armed, and I do believe that long guns are at their disposal. I would not recommend rushing a gate.
