“The IRS, which primarily acts as an audit agency, refuses to answer why its agents need AR-15s for ‘standoff capability.’ Congressman Jeff Duncan (R-SC) wanted to know why IRS agents were buying ammo in large quantities and wanted to see the ammo supply himself. He went to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Maryland where he witnessed 8 or 9 IRS agents using AR-15s at an indoor 100 yard firing range. Agencies like the Department of Education, the Social Security Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the IRS continue to purchase large amounts of tactical weapons and ammunition to build up their law enforcement divisions.”
