IRS buying SHOTGUNS!

[garand4life]

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.

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.

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.
