GAO: IRS Had 4,487 Guns; 5,062,006 Rounds of Ammunition

Via 4 Branch


The Internal Revenue Service had in its weapons inventory 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition as of late 2017, according to a report published this month by the Government Accountability Office.

Included in this arsenal, according to the GAO, were 15 “fully automatic firearms” and 56,000 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

The same report--"Federal Law Enforcement: Purchases and Inventory Controls of Firearms, Ammuntion, and Tactical Equipment"--says that the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services had 194 fully automatic firearms and 386,952 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

  1. Appears that despite stories to the contrary that ammo and arms purchases during the obama yrs were driven by govt purchases

  2. Are there any sanctuary cities for citizens to be protected from the IRS and these fully automatic "weapons of war" of which we are told, have no place on our streets? --Ron W

  3. Nothing to worry about. Just bloated government being normally bloated. Guns and ammo purchases may seem excessive, but not compared to bonuses, travel, training, and copier toner. Each of those departments has a guy who buys stuff and every day they come to work, they have to show they are buying something. That's how bloated government works. BTW, the DOD is the most bloated of the departments, and uniformed people account for a fair share of the bloat.

  5. They call our semi-auto rifles, "weapons of war" which they tell us, have no place in our country, yet even the IRS has full-auto weapons which are for the military tactic of assault! Obviously this is our employees, who are to work for us UNDER OUR DELEGATED POWERS!! This is absolute criminality! --Ron W


    `` . . . Congress can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their
    friends, as well as on the great mass of the society." -- James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 57.

    "Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invites anarchy. To declare that, in the administration of the law, the end justifies the means would bring a terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine, this Court should resolutely set its face.” --Louis D. Brandeis, SCOTUS Justice, Dissenting, Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438 (1928).

  6. The IRS is a private corp as with the Fed, private reserve.
    The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a private Corporation, incorporated in Delaware in 1933, and operates under international treaty. (See Public Law 94-564 Reorganization Plan #26) COMPENSATION defined: contracts. A reward for services rendered.
    The CDC is a private corp for profit.
    The curse of the corporations. I hope the real American tax
    payer is not paying for the IRS armament.
