The IRS is purchasing large amounts of ammo and weapons, prior to the massive 87,000 employee increase.
I have never in my life heard of an IRS agent needing to be armed. Don't they just sit in their offices and make phone calls?

@CopperCicada As an IRS doing a routine audit, why would they need a gun?
Now, I’d think if your superiors feel/ felt you’d be in harm’s way, going into a hostile, potentially life threatening situation wouldn’t they liaison with local law enforcement first? Or at best dispatch their SWAT Personnnel?

@soar2newhighs My point is if people are going to make the argument that Bob should be able to carry a semi with extended magazine when he buys paint at Home Depot...
... why shouldn't Bob be able to carry the same to a job site he's auditing because the tax filings are clearly bullshit.

@CopperCicada If Bob is a federal employee his agency covers the carrying of firearms in the performance of his official duties. Now as I said, in your words, “…tax filings are clearly bullshit.”, then again I believe if either he’s allowed to be armed then he takes a risk, where if he’s not and problems are expected then coordinate w/ local LE first or use the IRS SWAT personnel.
