Conservatives haven’t (or shouldn’t have) forgotten the outrageous weaponization of the tax collection agency during President Barack Obama’s administration. Obama political appointee Lois Lerner targeted the Tea Party and other taxpayer groups with a conservative orientation. The Obama team never apologized, and Lois Lerner ducked out on testifying before Congress.
Now the IRS is armed with real weapons – guns, ammunition and military equipment.
The Internal Revenue Service, with its 2,159 Special Agents, spent $21.3 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment between fiscal years 2006 and 2019. The agency stockpiled 4,500 guns and five million rounds of ammunition.
How many of the new 87,000 employees will be armed? And why does a tax collection agency need guns, anyway?

Anyone who doesn’t think this fully - and now literally - weaponized IRS will be coming after all of us is sadly mistaken.

Yes, well…they will need them to squeeze the new taxes out of our already desiccated bodies. No doubt many of us small business owners and self-employed will be audited.
