This is a truly strange story that I was reading this morning at PJ Media. It turns out that the federal government is currently stockpiling massive amounts of ammunition and weapons. For some departments like the FBI, CIA, or Homeland Security, that kind of makes sense. But it’s not limited to just federal agencies whose primary focus is law enforcement. It turns out that the IRS has enough guns and ammo to launch a war. The numbers are rather staggering. They now have more than two thousand of their own law enforcement agents with thousands of weapons and more than five million rounds of ammunition. Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida has introduced a bill that would place a moratorium on these IRS purchases until we can see what’s going on.
And now the Democrats are going to double the size of the IRS with their latest tax and spend boondoggle. With all of the left wing lies about an "insurrection" and "domestic terrorism," you have to wonder if the totalitarian Marxists aren't planning a pogrom against dissidents (Republicans).
The IRS has 2,150 Special Agents, which are basically non-uniformed law enforcement. Suppose each uses 100 rounds for practice once per month (1,200 rounds per year) and must qualify at the range twice per year, using 500 rounds to each time, that's another 1,000 rounds each year per agent, for a total 2,200 rounds per agent per year. With 2,150 agents, that's 4,730,000 rounds, leaving a surplus of 270,000 rounds (5.7%). All of which sounds reasonable to me. Personally, I wouldn't want armed law enforcement to have any less in-service training/qualification.

Personally I don't want an IRS and especially don't want a weaponized one. Why are you trying to rationalize this?
I'll bite. Please provide a viable alternative to funding government operations. "I don't need no stinkin' government" isn't a valid response.
You didnt answer my question, but I’ll bite on yours:
Voluntary contributions and the elimination of any “operation” that lacks the resources to continue

Look at you using logic.
Don't you know EVERYTHING is a conspiracy these days?
This red herring, again? Didn't we go through this during the Obama administration, too?
Newsflash - the IRS, the FDA and a lot of other government agencies have law enforcement components and responsibilities.
Surely you're not saying LEOs should be disarmed, OP?
