Matt Gaetz introduces bill to prohibit ammunition purchases by the IRS

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Northwest Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz introduced a bill Friday to prohibit the IRS from acquiring ammunition.

The bill entitled the "Disarm the IRS Act" would prohibit the IRS from acquiring, by purchase or otherwise, any ammunition.

Congressman Gaetz claims the IRS spent $725,000 on ammunition from March to June of this year. He criticizes the purchase by saying the IRS does not require ammunition and has no reason to purchase it.

Only the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS is permitted to carry guns and ammunition, according to federal law.

1. But..But..But

Second Amendment is Sacrosanct!

Isn't it?

[onethatcares]

2. so he actually

wants to defund the police. The campaign ads write themselves at times.

3. Hey, whatever happened to "shall not be infringed"?

[onecaliberal]

4. Child rapist said what?

[Iggo]

16. This.

[relayerbob]

5. So, he's facing tax evasion charges, too

Could these crooks be any more obvious?

[sop]

19. Yeah, that's the first thing I thought, too: the IRS must be coming after Gaetz.

6. Since when does the IRS collect taxes at gunpoint?

[Ohio Joe]

11. They don't...

They do have a criminal investigation division that does carry guns.

25. Their CI Division has close to 2500 agents nation wide.

To give you an idea of the size, the often maligned US Capitol police have 1800 members of its department. They both train at the federal law enforcement training center in GA. I would hope if treasury is letting 2500 armed people roam around the country, they are mating sure that they qualify regularly, minimum of 2 but 4 is optimal times a year. With each qualification, there should be some open range time to ensure qualification. Muscle Memory, training and comfort with your weapon mean a lot if you are ever called on it to use it.

22. My boss from my last gig was a former IRS investigator, he carried a gun of course.

He told me he never had to draw it and didn't like guns.

[Bayard]

7. Everything wrong in the country now,

And THIS is what he focuses on? I agree--the IRS must be looking at him.

[DBoon]

8. it's not like IRS agents have to worry about gun toting tax cheats

I mean none of these second amendment folks would ever greet a federal agent with a loaded firearm would they? Sovereign citizens never do such things.

Tax cheats NEVER run other criminal enterprises and "protect" themselves with the finest firearms available in our great country, right? They can just walk right up to a drug dealing operation bare handed and say, "Excuse me sir I believe you owe some taxes".

9. I agree. Let them just borrow ammunition from the local school boards.

[LoisB]

17. Sadly, your comment is closer to reality than we might think.

[kacekwl]

10. Does this guy have

One working brain cell ?

[Me.]

23. THat's What I Wonder

[Chipper Chat]

12. Well it's about time!!!

I have been worried about this issue for 30 years thank you Matt for finally letting it resurface

[Iggo]

13. Matt Gaetz fucks children.

[Takket]

14. Agreed. Now let's pass a second bill...

Requiring all ammunition purchases to be from the IRS only.

[MiHale]

15. Wish I could introduce a bill...

Making it okay to sew his lips together.

[Scrivener7]

18. Why is he not in jail?

[Thomas Hurt]

20. Another christofascist solution in search of a problem.

[sop]

21. Let's ban antibiotics, make Gaetz carry his syphillis to term.

[unblock]

24. Why do republicans hate law enforcement?
