It’s funny how government hacks (who tend to be gun grabbing leftists) always whine that Americans own too many legal guns and too much legal ammunition. Has anyone bothered to check out the IRS though? They stockpiled weapons and ammo during the Obama years and now have over 3,000 guns and over three million rounds ammunition in their Criminal Investigation division alone. Why is this even allowed? The IRS aren’t cops.

A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows the Internal Revenue Service has more than 3,000 handguns and 3,000,000 rounds of handgun ammunition in its Criminal Investigation division alone.
According to the GAO, the Criminal Investigation side of the IRS also has 554 rifles, the majority of which are semiautomatic, but automatics are also included. They have an excess of 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition for the weapons, including the ammunition for the handguns.Regarding the police division of the IRS, there are an additional 20 handguns, two shotguns, four rifles, and an additional 14,706 rounds of ammunition.
The GAO looked at 20 federal agencies and discovered that they spent “at least $38.8 million on firearms, $325.9 million on ammunition, and $1.14 billion on tactical equipment—at least $1.5 billion in total—from fiscal years 2010 through 2017.”
