Rep Rosendale introduces bill to prohibit the IRS from purchasing guns after armed Montana raid


Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., introduced a bill Friday to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from using taxpayer dollars to purchase firearms for its agents, following the unexpected raid of a local Montana gun store.

The congressman introduced the "Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act" on Friday, after 20 armed IRS and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents entered Highwood Creek Outfitters in Great Falls, Montana, earlier in June and reportedly confiscated the personal information of customers who purchased a gun from the store.

"Biden’s alphabet agencies have no business intimidating hardworking Montanans," Rosendale told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement. "The weaponization of our government must end, which is why I am proud to introduce this legislation to prohibit taxpayer funds from being leveraged against the American people."


After the armed agents closed the gun store unannounced in June, Rosendale visited the site and found that 4,473 forms containing gun purchase records were obtained by the federal agencies.


The Montana congressman introduced the legislation to push back against the recent incident and prohibit the IRS from buying, receiving or storing guns and ammo.

The new Republican-introduced bill would also "transfer the IRS’ arsenal to the GSA within 120 days where it would be sold at auction to licensed dealers and the general public" and "transfer the Criminal Investigations Division to the Department of Justice."

Cosponsors of the bill include Reps. Clay Higgins, R-La.; Randy Weber, R-Texas; Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo.; Eli Crane, R-Ariz.; Mary Miller, R-Ill.; Bob Good, R-Va.; Brian Babin, R-Texas; Jeff Duncan, R-S.C.; and Nancy Mace, R-S.C.

Rosendale's bill mirrors legislation recently introduced by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa., that seeks to "prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from providing firearms and ammunition to its employees, and for other purposes.".....

==============================

Maybe the gun store owner should just change his last name to Biden. Then the FBI would leave him alone.
 
-This guy is an idiot.

The IRS has an actual law enforcement department who have the power of arrest so of course they need to be armed.

That is who the new weapons are for because, as most law enforcement agencies do, they buy in bulk to reduce costs.

It is simply time for their replacement purchases.

There is plenty to bitch about when it comes to Biden’s mess ups so we don’t need to go making up stuff like this.
 
Eliot Ness, the Untouchable, was an agent of the Prohibition Unit of the IRS. But the unit was switched to the Treasury Department in 1927, so I guess that's OK.

So why did you post the OP in the first place.Are we still pretending you are two different people?

So, in the case of this particular store that was raided, why did the agents need automatic rifles and body armor?
