This video discusses proposed legislation aimed at disarming the IRS and transferring its criminal investigation functions to the Department of Justice. The bill, sponsored by Senator Joni Ernst and Representative Barry Moore, would prohibit the use of IRS funds for purchasing firearms or ammunition and mandate the surrender of existing IRS firearms and ammunition. Proceeds from the subsequent sale or auction of these items would be directed towards reducing the federal deficit. The legislation also proposes to move the IRS's criminal investigation division to the Department of Justice, creating a distinct entity within its criminal division.
