TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): So when they start treating the IRS as a military agency, you should be very worried and that's exactly what the US government is doing. In 2018, the Government Accountability Office reported that more than 2,000 IRS enforcement agents have more than 4,000 weapons. Guns. That kill people, remember? The IRS is also stockpiling more than 5 million rounds of ammunition. In 2020, the Washington organization openthebooks.com reported the IRS has spent more than $20 million on guns and ammo between 2006 and 2019.
