I appreciate the numerical analysis, as u/Rooks, myself and others have done in this thread. Looking at it from a 30K ft perspective, so to speak, there are some other factors to consider that seem relevant. The Townhall article I cited, from Nov 2021, has information available from Jan 2019 and even at that time - three-and-a-half years ago - the IRS had already stockpiled five million rounds of ammo. If this latest purchase is any indication I'm guessing that number is over seven-and-a-half million rounds. Consider that Obama had agencies stockpiling ammo during his term, purportedly because he was unsuccessful with a gun grab and wanted to deprive law-abiding citizens of being able to (afford to) purchase it, as several anons here have mentioned. Consider that the IRS claims it doesn't have enough people to process their paper returns (hence just shredded them) and one wonders just what their priorities are, what their real purpose is. Consider the Congressman Gaetz found this recent, nearly $700K purchase in just the prior three months to be worthy of looking into. Consider other factors like the marxist infestation of our government, education system, judicial system, corporations and so forth.

My question to you - since, from a brief, cursory scan of your comment history you seem to have a real good understanding of lots of facets of this and related/other topics - why does the IRS need to stockpile this many firearms and that much ammo? We hear about raids by government agents, these usually involving the FBI, ICE, ATF and the like. I don't recall any huge IRS-predominant raids where a large number of armed IRS agents descend upon, for a hypothetical example, a gang (mafia, cartel) operation to arrest everyone. It would seem to me that if such an operation were to be necessary, the IRS could easily call in local LEOs, the FBI, ATF, etc to do the dangerous disarming of the violent bad guys. Maybe I just haven't heard and the IRS is in frequent gun battles with dangerous tax-evaders. Are armed IRS agents usually on site for big drug busts? Do you have any insight on this?
