    Didn't know the IRS routinely carried guns.

    I know they have stockpiled at least 5,000,000 rounds of ammo.

      All government authority is backed by violence. Who cares whether any given individual cog carries a gun.

      Education is extremely important.

        A friend of mine is a retired Special Agent who worked for HUD and for VA, investigating mostly white collar fraud cases, and he carried on the job.

          It’s not so much that “the IRS routinely carries guns”. It’s that every federal department has its own enforcement arm.

                  We need 73 agencies with armed agents?

                  Makes no sense to me.

                  Military? Well, duh.
                  Interior? Sure, wildlife agents.
                  Treasury? That's Secret Service, etc.
                  Justice? Another duh.
                  But the IRS? Agriculture? Transportation? Labor? Etc.?

                        My guess is that the enabling legislation for each of these agencies allowed for enforcement so they went ahead and built it internally.
