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?

In general, they're not armed. However, there are law enforcement positions with the IRS such the Criminal Investigation Special Agent role. They are accountants that carry guns. A number of criminals are busted due to tax evasion. Some of them are violent. The question is...how many of those 87K IRS position will be involved in law enforcement. I did check and they are hiring for the role.
