"Call me old fashioned, but I thought the heaviest artillery an IRS agent would need would be a calculator," said Gaetz in an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. "Like, I imagined the IRS in green eyeshades and cubicles, not busting doors down and emptying Glock clips on our fellow Americans. And certainly it's troubling that in 2022 alone, the IRS has spent around $725,000 on ammunition. So, here's the Biden plan: Disarm Americans, open the border, empty the prisons, but rest assured they'll still collect your taxes, and they need $725,000 worth of ammunition apparently, to get the job done."

Watters then asked if there was a relationship between the ammo shortage in the United States and the government buying ammo in large quantities. Gaetz responded, "Oh, undeniably. Part of the strategy is that with one hand, the Biden regime is doing everything they can to suppress access to ammunition for regular Americans, while with the other hand, they are scooping up all of the ammo that they can possibly find. I'm not against stockpiling ammunition, but you shouldn't have to be a DC accountant to do it. You ought to be able to be a mechanic in Pensacola."

The Disarm the IRS Act would prohibit the IRS from purchasing ammo under any circumstances after the Biden administration's recent efforts to dramatically expand the tax agency's oversight and enforcement powers on common citizens.
