Timmy, Get Your Gun

Why Would the IRS Need Shotguns?

Why on earth would the Criminal Investigation Division of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service need sixty 12-gauge pump-action shotguns?

Tax criminals perhaps? Not really…criminal violations of the tax code are handled by the Justice Department. As for building security, that’s taken care of by the Federal Protective service.

I only ask because I recently saw a public “solicitation” just issued by the IRS, in which our tax collectors seek bids for providing them the following impressive armaments…

The Taxman Soliciting Shotguns

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. 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.

Now perhaps the IRS knows something about the Tea Party Movement that has escaped most of us.

Or maybe they have seen the polls showing the breadth and depth of American public reaction against President Obama’s historic trillions in planned deficits and spending — or those trillions in new income, capital gains and estate taxes on just about everything and everybody.

Or might these weapons be used to ensure that every last American is forced to buy ObamaCare health insurance?

But then, this may simply be a defensive measure against the ire of the millions of Americans whose constitutional right to bank and invest offshore may be seriously curtailed by the President and his Reid-Pelosi congressional radicals — (not that such knowledgeable offshore Americans would ever stoop to the IRS level when its comes to coercion).

The 60 shotguns are to be delivered to the IRS national headquarters at 1111 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington DC 20224. We’ll keep an eye out to see of they’re building battlements and a moat or mounting canon.

But, all things considered, don’t you wonder if only 60 shotguns will be sufficient for the IRS? (Just kidding, officer!)

Sincerely,

Bob Bauman, (unarmed) Legal Counsel
