I.R.S. is Bringin' Da Heat!

Gave me a WHOA THERE, BUDDY! of the Day:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.

This can't be good for anyone. Although, I am sure the IRS is already armed and dangerous, seeing it in black and white puts a new spin on this reality. Do we really need shotguns in the hands of those who collect our taxes?

PEW PEW PEW!!!

More interesting, is the place of delivery:

Place of Delivery:

IRS-CI

SE:CI:OPS:STO, attn. S/A Staggs, Room 2003

1111 Constitution Avenue NW

Washington DC 20224

202/622-5114

12 gauge, pump-action shotguns (oh how i love a pump-action shotgun. nothing scares the crap out of an intruder more than the highly recognizable, metallic, scraping CHUK-CHUK sound of a shotgun being pumped. RUN AWAY!) to be delivered to the IRS in D.C.?!

Lawmakers despise the idea of the citizenry of Washington D.C. having guns, but not so much if they are handled by I.R.S. employees. Makes perfect, logical, sense, right?!

POW! POW! POW!

I am not an IRS expert, but I see no reason why they need shotguns. If there is a bust that needs to go down (seriously, who doesn't love cop lingo?!), it seems existing law enforcement could take care of serving the warrants and bringing in the perps. (♥)

I.R.S. + 12 gauge shotguns = DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!

Somethin' don't smell right....
