Federal agencies like the EPA and IRS continue to stockpile guns and ammo while Democrats push to disarm the American public
President Donald Trump has certainly brought some welcome relief to Americans in the form of curbing federal regulations, but he has a lot more to do — as do his Cabinet appointees — in terms of, shall we say, ‘defanging’ several agencies.
They include the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and others that have been weaponized, literally, to ‘deal with’ — not serve — the American people.
As Conservative Review reports, the IRS itself has 15 “submachine guns” and some 5 million rounds of ammunition on hand, but the tax collection agency is far from the only one belonging to the federal government that is becoming more heavily armed.
Citing a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report published in December, CR notes that several federal agencies are amassing weapons and ammunition at a rate that is frankly alarming:
The IRS currently has 4,461 guns, including 621 shotguns, 539 rifles, and those 15 submachine guns. The Department of Health and Human Services has over one million rounds of ammunition stockpiled for use.
The VA doesn’t just have red tape and long waiting times, it turns out. The agency also purchased almost 3,000 rounds for each of its almost 4,000 police officers between 2010 and 2017. The agency also has camouflage uniforms, riot gear, and “tactical lighting.”
Other agencies are also arming up. The GAO found that the 20 agencies surveyed for the above timeframe collectively spent “at least $1.5 billion in total” on ammo, firearms, and tactical gear. (Related: FDA goes paramilitary, now revealed to own 390 pistols, 122 shotguns and 200,000 rounds of ammunition… while pushing toxic vaccines and deadly chemotherapy on children.)
As the date range suggests, most of the purchases were made during the Obama years. In fact, as Natural News reported in May 2014, the Department of Agriculture even put in a request for “submachine guns, .40 Cal. S&W” with “Tritium night sights for front and rear, rails for attachment of flashlight (front under fore grip) and scope (top rear)” along with a “collapsing” or “folding” stock. That’s serious firepower for a farm agency.
