[P]oor firearms training for IRS agents has led to more accidental firings than intentional firings, according to a separate inspector general’s report from 2012.

“Having the availability of deadly force puts hiring so many new agents into perspective,” Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, told The Daily Signal.

The inspector general for tax administration “found they fired their guns more times by accident than on purpose,” Norquist said. “I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.”

The poor training was not a new problem, since the 2012 report from the inspector general found similar issues with firearms training.

“If there is insufficient oversight, special agents in possession of firearms who are not properly trained and qualified could endanger other special agents and the public,” the report says.

The 2012 report not only found that IRS agents fired their weapons by accident more times than intentionally, but that the agency concealed details about the accidental discharges.

“There were a total of eight firearm discharges classified as intentional use of force incidents and 11 discharges classified as accidental during FYs 2009 through 2011,” the report says.

And, the inspector general’s report continues, “we found that four accidental discharges were not properly reported.”

It says that “the accidental discharges may have resulted in property damage or personal injury.”

The public report, however, redacts four references to unreported accidental discharges of firearms.


This was the result of Biden's plan to arm IRS agents....."What could go wrong" actually did!

And that was from 2022, If they did not take their guns away from them I suspect there are more now.
 
Good thing to know, armed IRS agents might shoot taxpayers by accident.

And Sleepy Joe thought hiring 85000 new armed IRS agents was a good idea?
 
Intentional use of deadly force by IRS agents concerns me more than accidental firearm discharges.
 
Congrats to the imbecile who thought of giving guns to government bean counters. :rolleyes-41:
 
Half of the people authorized to carry firearms in an official capacity are probably not proficient in using one, people like courthouse bailiffs, some in the FBI, and some in law enforcement, but the IRS?

They are the ones who skew this average towards the middle.
 
I think DOGE has an ongoing investigation on tax fraud by IRS agents. Was it old Joe's intent to build a little private army of armed IRS agents or was he manipulated by phantom unelected dark agents?
 
All these 14 accounts by the same one pro ARABism / jihadists apologetic (at times repeating something about "paid"), created not far from each other. As pairs... reacting with "fake news", to the very same posts...and fast. As they're no newbies..


(Under most of his accounts he replies to theards "words that start with..." in order to 'upgrade' the account/s):


Among other accounts ...






UPDATE Apr 22, 2025:

No. 15. Hondo50 just created a new, account:
"Topeka" after Hondo50 14 other accounts have been exposed, which is why he is looking to react to it...seeking to defend his multiple accounts.

Post in thread 'Taxi To The Dark Side' Taxi To The Dark Side

CAUGHT RED HANDED, AGAIN.

Under "Topeka", the SP "hondo50" reacted first to Post in thread '2nd USMB Chess Tournament Declared', with "fake news" as can be seen in above image, then he deleted it, after exposing him again with the very post about it.

. This Hondo50 reminds me of a Wikipedian Mullah editor, also a Hitler fan, with multiple accounts to make the impression how "so many of them" say the same thing...

Note how this fake "conservative" won't criticizes radical Islam..under any of his 17 accts.

What the hell situation allows IRS agents to use deadly physical force in the line of duty?
