Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has introduced new legislation that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from acquiring guns to use against the American people.
“Certainly it’s troubling that in 2022 alone, the IRS has spent around $725,000 on ammunition. So here’s the Biden plan: Disarm Americans, open the border, empty the prisons — but rest assured, they’ll still collect your taxes, and they need $725,000 worth of ammunition, apparently, to get the job done,” Rep. Gaetz said during an appearance on Fox News.
“Call me old fashioned, but I thought the heaviest artillery an IRS agent would need would be a calculator, not $725,000 worth of ammunition,” Rep. Gaetz added.
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: The Florida congressman added, “there was a report that showed over a ten-year period, the IRS stockpiled $11 million dollars’ worth of ammunition. That’s why I’m working on legislation to put a total moratorium on the IRS buying ammo.”
On July 1, Rep. Gaetz and Reps. Jeff Duncan, Paul Gosar, and Marjorie Taylor Greene announced the “Disarm the IRS Act” of 2022.
The bill reads, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Internal Revenue Service may not acquire (by purchase or otherwise) any ammunition after the date of the enactment of this Act.”
