Why Are IRS Agents Training With AR-15s?

[Rozman]

To send a strong message after Obama seizes our retirement funds....

Yo OP! Where are you? Why have you not returned to admit that your silly fears are unwarranted. When are you going to pledge that you will not be so quick to dream up crazed conspiracy theories whenever you read something that you don't understand?

Are you ever going to take responsibility for these types of ****-ups? Do you have any integrity at all?

I don't understand why you or Lakhota or any so called liberal of this century on this board embrace government so blindly?

You are certainly pro government, big government, love government and they can do no wrong in your eyes.

It's strange.

Excellent question.

They (the liberal) figures government has changed or that they are in a more powerful position for their group to be rewarded within government now, so government being controlled by them makes it friendly in their mindset, so yes government in their controlling eyes can't do them no harm or wrong because they are in control of it is what they feel and think, and they might just be right.

Bullshit. I accet the idea that law enforcement officers need to carry firearms. That is not an acceptance of big brother.

The IRS has had armed agents for nearly a century. You fuckers could have had Ronnie strip them of their weapons.......but he didn't tell you about them. Wonder why? What was he planning?

Instead of making your stupid claims about what liberals think and want.....why not just ask a few questions. I will answer honestly. Will you ASK honsetly?

In a statement, the tax agency explained, "As law enforcement officials, IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agents are equipped similarly to other federal, state and local law enforcement organizations. Special Agents receive training on the appropriate and safe use of assigned weapons. IRS Criminal Investigation has internal controls and oversight in place to ensure all law enforcement tools, including weapons are used appropriately."

All of this has the benefit of being true. Indeed, the IRS often investigates drug-trafficking operations, so it stands to reason officials would be well armed.

The IRS does expect to get paid taxes on income from drug deals.

...............And that means in the coming weeks, millions of Americans will be breaking out their W-2s and their favorite tax software to figure out exactly how much money they owe their government. Of course, in an economy as large and complex as America’s there are plenty of folks who don’t pay exactly what they owe. These people can range from those engaged in illicit activities like drug dealing to legitimate service industry workers, like babysitters, who are paid in cash. The difference between what is legally owed the federal government and what it actually collects in taxes each year is called the “tax gap,” which the IRS recently estimated reached $385 billion in 2006. Other studies have placed that figure higher — at upwards of $600 billion.

So the drug dealer gets hit with tax evasion for not paying taxes on his ill gotten gains.

Maybe they should have itemized on their tax return....

"I made $5,000.00 on the sale of that kick ass weed to green eyes"...
"I only made a grand on the hash I had lying around.Not much of a market right now."

Sure that would have worked out nicely.

Just why are IRS agents training with assault rifles?

first off, PLEASE STOP using the term "assault rifle", an assault rifle is a "select fire" rifle, meaning it is capable of being fired in full automatic one squeeze of the trigger produces multiple rounds being fired, an AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle, one squeeze of the trigger fires one round !!

as for the IRS agents training with AR-15 rifles is quite obvious to me, if they can play ****-**** with your financial life and take your money, now they will just take your life !!!

i believe we are fast approaching the point where we are going to have to do as our forefathers done.., fight for our freedom and liberty.

My brother sent me this...hope it works. LOL

Looks like it did...

Yep they sure do. It's a double whammy for them! God bless America! LOL.

Isn't there a line for 'other income' that you don't have to have a W-2 or 1099 for on the tax forms? Cash income.

Still, if one used that line to report big bucks from drug deals, I think they would get suspicious about what you are doing to knock off that much.

I had a patient once in the state hospital who made $300,000/year, but had no health insurance, so she went to the state hospital. She was a 'madam.' Yeah, man, I've met all kinds and wouldn't take a million dollars for the career I've had. Of course if I did, I would owe tax on it!

Clearly the communist Obama is going to use the IRS to seize weapons and establish tyranny. It is obvious.

it's about time you saw the truth about this commie bastard and his totalitarian regime ...

Maybe if you read through the thread before answering, you would understand better?

As Lakohta just explained, there has been an armed unit within the IRS for decades - if it didn't bother you 20 years back there is no reason for it to bother you now.

 

[Wildman]

All joking aside, can anyone think of a logical reason for IRS agents to be training with AR-15s? That is quite a leap to go from crunching numbers and auditing tax returns to learning how to kill people. We have other agencies trained to deal with disasters. It is reasonable to ask why IRS agents are being trained in something that has little to do with collecting taxes. Is overseeing Obamacare the reason behind this or is there some other explanation? Lois Lerner has shown she can't be trusted and hasn't resigned or been asked to do so by the Obama administration. Something weird is going on.

They're not assault rifles. They're semi-automatic.

As usual, instead of making any meaningful comment of substance, you pick on either a typo, misspeak or other mistake and divert from the subject at hand. I guess you're okay with anything and everything the Obama administration does. (no.., he is NOT, he just did not go into details as i am doing, we gun owning patriots are trying our best to properly educate folks in proper terminology, "assault weapon/rifle" is an invention of the liarberal media to force fear into the general populace !!) I don't have that kind of trust in any government, (nor do we !) regardless of which party is the majority. I think it's downright crazy to keep ignoring shit like this.

my dear Clementine, it is very important that we conservatives enlighten the ignorant populace there is a huge difference between an assault rifle and an AR-15. excuse me for saying this but it is the truth.., there is really no such thing as an "assault rifle.., i ask you please go to this site for an education on those scary "assault rifles" >>>>----> The Truth About Assault Weapons <----<<<

 

[Wildman]

And for the record I'm completely against any type of gun control and would love to shoot an AR-15.

are you saying you do NOT own an AR-15 ?

where do you live ? i have one you could try out, once you have shot one you will be hooked, they are so much fun it soon becomes addicting.

20 years ago the IRS wasn't targeting the President's political enemies.
