IRS agents training with AR-15s?

[Guest032516]

OK. This is seriously fucked up if true:

IRS agents are - or should be - a bunch of accountants. If someone needs to be arrested, that is what the FBI is for.

This is how an audit in 2014 will look.

Training costs money.

Why spend the money unless you are going to use it?

[JCM800]

they've already proven they like to waste a lot of money.

Is CBJ7 actually shedding his big-government, libertard cloak?

[CJ7]

nope, still have the same opinion of abusive government, youre just too stupid to notice

[Texas Contrarian]

Maybe next they'll claim this is an innovative government "streamlining" initiative: Merge the I.R.S. and the United States Marshalls Service into one agency!

"Better think twice about that deduction, Mr. Taxpayer. We now audit and arrest during the same visit!"

[CJ7]

taxpayers get Kevlar vests with every audit

What's the conspiracy theory?

In a conspiracy theory, a tragedy or prominent news event that seems to have a conventional explanation is instead credited to some secret plot by the government or some other powerful cabal that is the real agent that caused the tragedy.

According to the article, IRS agents are training with AR-15s. That actually IS action by the government. And, clearly, it isn't a secret since they are training at a public firing range.

So, what is the secret plot?

You're right. Appears to be unnecessary, it's not their area.

Instead of rifles, they should pass out hari kari swords to the top irs brass.

You spent money on training for "in case you need it" skills too.
