A ‘Short’ List of Armed Federal Agencies

The recently passed – and signed by Joe Biden – Orwellian named ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ authorized $80 billion, yes, $80 billion, in new funding for the IRS to hire 87,000 new agents. Yes, 87,000 new Lois Lerners, that will make the IRS one of the largest state bureaucracies in the Biden Regime’s USSA. How many of those will be armed? Fact checkers’ heads are blowing up all over the Internet over this, so believe what you want to believe. However, reports are that the IRS has stockpiled 4,600 firearms and 5 million rounds of ammunition. Huh? So, how many of Biden’s new IRS agents will be packing heat? And, how many of us will they target?

But, in addition to the IRS, a plethora of other Federal agencies pack heat. How many and who are they? A ‘short’ list is provided below. We say ‘short’ because our list may not be complete.
