Congressman Jeff Duncan questions why he saw IRS agents training with powerful, semi-automatic rifles when he toured a Maryland Federal Law Enforcement Training Center on May 23.

Since when is an AR-15 "powerful"?

 

[Inigoes]

Was there an accidental discharge?

aint that a bitch. makes getting audited even scarier.

and they will be running obama care? i guess if you dont pay the obama care tax they have the plenty of training and firepower to get "most" folks to pay up.

i wonder if the irs will become part of dhs? looking at this, maybe they already are.

Big F ing deal. He can go chew a huge fat one. There are so many different reasons why they were there. This could have been a class that FLETC offers that has local and fed agencies mixed. Many Feds go to classes that are offered to Agents at all different federal levels. He would be shocked to know that FLETC sponsors armorer courses too that Feds and local can sign up for to learn to maintain weapons their agency doesn't use.

IDIOT.

So these are just more wastes of taxpayer money?

why in the world would we be paying for goverment employees to train and maintain things that they dont need or use. and why would the tax agency need firearms for in the first place. they collect taxes. if someone needs to be arraested it seems to me there are plenty of police agencies for that. just more wasted goverment spending.

It is according to Baron von Frosh...

 

[Ab_Normal]

why in the world would we be paying for goverment emploees to train and maintain in tactics they don't employ and guns they don't use?

FIFY.

 

[Ab_Normal]

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

 

[Mr H]

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

And the tools to destroy help collect the taxes??!

I'm with Blaster on this... sounds like nothing, until we know it's something.

 

[44man]

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

thats why i feel destroyed at the end of every year. and the fact that they piss our money away on things like this is a large part of the problem. apparently there is no accountability at all for them.

 

[44man]

also doesnt it bother anyone else that instead of doing their job, whatever the hell that is that they have time to cross train with weapons and tacticts that they dont use? where i work they sure as hell arent sending anyone to school for anything in this economy much less sending someone for training that will never be of benefit to the company. i guess the money for the training, weapons and ammo they piss away is ok with some but its not ok with me.

now i guess i will get an audit facing an ar 15 barrel.

Jealous? So you don't think no federal agent cannot benefit from a familiarization of different weapon systems that they DON'T use or are issued?
Federal agents and federal police officers do have training days from which there is an allotment for their training out of the agency budget. Why the F do you care if an office of a few agents take an 8 hour shooting course at a Federal Law Enforcement Training Center?

Which do you hate more, Obamaphone programs or Federal Agents learning anything associated with their career?

Please, let us opine over the fraud, waste and abuse in whatever company it is where you work. Get over it dude.

 

[Pinecone]

Uh, so you know for a fact that IRS does not have an armed branch if needed?

Maybe it IS part of their job.

Years ago, I was at On Target. As we were leaving I looked into the range and saw LONG blone hair, a VERY short skirt, GREAT legs, high heels, and a blue jacket with IRS on the back. And VERY good shooting.

exactly -

let them all be number crunchers - if guns need to be involved there are other agencies that can be called on. like law enforcement.

Shhhhhh. Please don't tell him that FLETC has a sub gun instructor course Feds can go to where they will shoot and waste approx. 27k rounds in a week.

 

[pcfixer]

Don't you find this very hypocritical that the government officials can own AR's, 30 round mags and come to Maryland and train? When ONLY police, government own guns
and we don't, yep what is that called? Tyranny or police state?

the point is that it it shouldn't be

I have no problem with them being allowed to carry, we should all be allowed to carry. the taxes funding their training and carrying on the other hand...
