Regardless of why they are doing this, it makes me nervous for the financial departments of the fed to be arming themselves. Revenuers on steroids!

Right there with you. These guys are supposed to accountants with a badge. They need muscle? Call the locals or the Feebs. I hope this just a little testosterone and some bureaucrat wanting cool toys and free range time. Otherwise I'm scared.

I would not be at all surprised to learn that every Fed agency, including the FDA, had a SWAT-style group. Sign of the times as the Fed becomes even more statist, and besides, the inter-departmental jealousies mandate that if Rickie gets to have guns for his people, so do I.
Hell, they've already made every local and county PD bomb squad members Special US Marshall Deputies, what's a few extra shotties in the Fed arsenal?
Besides, it gives the Feds lots more firepower, cleverly hidden within the gummint bureaucracy - harder to see. And y'all missed the fact that these have to be compatible with the ones already in stock, per the specs of their armorer.
Think on that - the IRS has an armorer.

And my cousin out west said I was crazy for buying 3 new guns with my tax return! I don't think so. Well, come to think of it, if the IRS found out they may bring those new shotty's to my front door for a professional visit.

FQ13

The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
Don't look now, boys and girls, but the IRS already has shotguns. They're just buying more of them.

Is the 14 inch barrel civilian legal? I've never seen, or really been seriously interested in any thing less than 18" unless it was like that sweet little number Combat Diver posted, but I know those aren't for the likes of us peasants. >:( My understanding is that 14" (or maybe 16") is the minimum for a rifle, but where does a shotgun cross the line?
FQ13 who absolutely does not own a hacksaw. Nope, no hacksaws here. ;D

It's the IRS, they don't care if it's civilian legal. They are the Government, they can do what they want with YOUR money.

my mother worked for FTB, which is CAs IRS, she actually had people make it on to the grounds armed looking for her. People get really pissed off when they have money taken from thier check to pay for back taxs.

FEMA. They need them for the bee farms, particularlty if the damned clones get out of control. One drop of black oil and God knows how much paperwork.

Whats with the XFiles references FQ? Do we need to open those old wounds?

What wounds? I just got a flashback to the movie scene where Mulder was taking a leak on an indepence day poster in an alley behind the bar and the wild eyed old guy strted talking about how FEMA was the root of all evil. I thought it was funny. If there's some sort of subtext here, I'm not in the club. Sorry if I offended any one for any reason, because believe me, I just found the idea of armed FEMA agents a perfect cipher for conspiracy theorists of any stripe and thought it was worth a giggle. No more.
FQ13 who is puzzled, but meant no harm

Just giving you a hard time. I know hard core XFiles fans that were nearly suicidal when that movie came out. Something about commercializing the franchise. The movie I thought was a joke, you know evil government and black helicopter and all. I thought your reference was good. Still it opens old wounds if you liked the series and being from Roswell, you know. Just razzing you that's all.

Ignorance strikes again. In your case, more like a constant drone.
Some of our first responders talked with us at one of the two Citizen Academies I attended (ambulance service). They had gone to NO after Katrina to help out, and they told absolute horror stories of being housed in a gymnasium with minimal fans and heavily armed FEMA guards with automatic weapons preventing anyone other than FEMA from going to the FEMA section of the building - with air conditioning of course. The responders weren't gun people but I gathered from what they told me that the guards carried either MP5s or M-4s, plus side-arms.
As I noted, I would be surprised to find a gummint agency that does NOT have a SWAT-like group.

The FDA DOES have a SWAT team.

The IRS has had an Enforcement branch since the beginning. Remember that was how the FBI was started in the first place.
As for them needing it, the Fresno IRS building got at least a dozen bomb threats a year while I worked EMS there. We'd send a standby and SWAT unit over while the Bomb Squad cleared the building. Seemed to start in Jan and end in May but I can't for the life of me determine WHY ??? ;D
-
Revenuers come to mind.
-
I'm hoping the IRS sends me a new shotty in lieu of my return. "Sorry, hon, the IRS doesn't make mistakes."

I don't think the shotties helped at all with that one. Does this mean there is gonna be a requisition order for a bunch of Ma deuces?

Any more word on what set that guy off ? They seized a bunch of his stuff didn't they ?
