Videos tagged with IRS Arming

This video from Guns & Gadgets investigates the IRS's significant increase in firearm and tactical gear purchases, presenting data from OpenTheBooks.com and Adam Andrzejewski. It highlights the agency's acquisition of AR-15s, H&K 416 rifles, Beretta shotguns, body armor, and other military-style equipment, raising concerns about the militarization of a civilian agency. The speaker questions whether the IRS is becoming a small military unit due to its substantial spending on weaponry and its expanded hiring of agents trained to use deadly force.

This video discusses proposed legislation HR 8051, which would impose a 1000% excise tax on large capacity magazines and semi-automatic assault weapons. The speaker expresses concern over the IRS arming itself and the potential financial burden this tax would place on firearm owners, arguing it could marginalize a specific group and is reminiscent of past legislative tactics.
