IRS Agents Being Shipped out to Afghanistan

That must be the reason that the IRS feels the need better arm themselves, right?

"The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division."

Now I'm the last guy to be concerned when someone exercises their 2nd Amendment rights, but why do our nation's tax collectors feel the need to arm themselves to the teeth?

Imagine the outcry if a private bill collection agency announced they were planning to pick up a few Uzis in order to "facilitate" collections.

So much for any romantic notion that the U.S. has a "voluntary" tax system.
