Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act
This bill prohibits the IRS from using funds to purchase, receive, or store firearms or ammunition, requiring all existing IRS firearms and ammunition to be transferred to the General Services Administration within 120 days of enactment. It mandates that the GSA sell IRS firearms to licensed dealers and ammunition to the public through auctions, with all proceeds deposited into the Treasury to reduce the federal deficit. Additionally, the bill transfers all IRS criminal investigation functions related to tax enforcement to the Department of Justice, effective 90 days after enactment, placing these responsibilities under the Attorney General's supervision.
