Nothing unusal about that. I was an attorney for the IRS. People get crazy over taxes. I once had a guy tell the judge in chambers that he couldn't be taxed because he was an "ambassador of yahweh." Given that over 3 dozen illegal weapons had been sized from his home when it was raided, the Judge was justifiably concerned about that nut's incoherent ramblings and called in the marshals to restrain him. They found 2 hadnguns on him.

A few months later another nut case in Seattle pulled a revolver from his brief case durng a tax court trail, said "judge, if you are going to take my money you might as well take my life with it" then stuck the gun in his mouth and blew his own brains out.

A few years before all that a nut case shot and killed a well respected revenue officer in Buffalo, NY - the federal courtbouse was renamed fter the revenue officer.

IRS CI agents are law enforcement. Same as FBI, DEA and Secret Service.

[JJFlash]

Yeah, they want your money, bigod, and they're gonna get it! No sympathy for the IRS from this quarter (and I'm a CPA). The IRS that I've had to deal with has been, for the most part, arrogant and unforgiving (at least to the "little people"). And I can back this up with specific examples, if I need to.

It's no surprise to me that people have cracked from the strain of dealing with this over-powering organization. I'm surprised we don't hear more of these kind of situations, frankly.

As the gov't continues to arm, so should "We, the People" who are supposed to be served, not intimidated by the gov't.

[RugerP345]

Well, I really can't see why I should be more concerned than any other law enforcement agency buying shotguns. I know they are the IRS and all that bad stuff, but they are a recognized and accredited LEA.

Well, yeah...but, with all respect, so what? Accredited by whom?

To me, it's no different than the King sending out his henchman to collect his taxes. The only "crime" being committed here is the failure to pay the King what the King claims is his due.

Just my .02.

Tenth Amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Sixteenth Amendment:
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

HOW SOME STATES DID NOT LEGALLY RATIFY THE 16TH AMENDMENT:
http://www.givemeliberty.org/feature...otratified.htm

The 16th Amendment was not ratified! The Income Tax is therefore illegal:

Police Powers:
In American legal history, police power has a particular significance for interpreting the constitutional division of power. Nineteenth-century Supreme Court rulings confirmed that the federal government had certain powers delegated by the constitution, but that all unspecified regulatory powers, or "police power," rested with the states.

Bottom Line, the Never Fully Ratified 16th Amendment, The IRS, and BATFE are all Unconstitutional...

As well as the FBI, Hoover & the fed gov was allowed to usurp national police powers they do not have under the constitution by the farthest stretch of the imagination...

Ditto for the Secret Service, another constitutional usurpation of powers...

Ditto for the DEA...

And none should be spending unconstitutional tax payer dollars to force people to comply with something unconstitutional to begin with...

WE THE PEOPLE should be questioning why the bean counters at the IRS need to be buying shotguns or any other weapons for that matter...

Perhaps has something to do with the fact that they are the proposed enforcement arm of Unconstitutional ObamaCare...

WTFU SHEEPLE!

Take Back The Republic!

Repeal The Usurpation Of Powers The Federal Government Does Not Have...

Sounds like a nice weapon, I'd like one for my home :-). Of course, we have an 18" barrel length requirement.

Anyway, the end of the IRS as we know it is one of the primary reasons I support FairTax. Get on board and get rid of the most tyrannical and invasive arms of the Fed Govmnt. There is quite a bit of support for it. Insist your candidates support it in the upcomming elections!!

Unless something has changed recently; 14" Makes it a SBS - Short Barreled Shotgun/Destructive Device, you can buy it but it cost you another $200.00 for the Unconstitutional IRS TAX STAMP, to exercise your Second Amendment Rights over & above the price of the weapon...

[Conservative Wife & Mom]

What are parkerized shotguns? What are modified chokes? What is the advantage of a fourteen inch barrel and why is it unlawful for us to have it? And, last, but certainly NOT least, why is the IRS engaged in "combat training"? Curious minds want to know!
