What happened to just being called in for an audit.......has it really escalated THIS much?

I'm surprised all they want is sixty of the damn things. We fought a revolution for taxation, and yet now we are taxed far more than they ever were, our rights eroding on a daily basis, and yet...

With the government buying the shotguns, it will probably cost them 60 x $5,000/each = $300,000 (rememer the $500 toilet seats?)

If they only have 60 guns they will be seriously OUTGUNNED.

I have conceived of a new type of device, I call it the "penny dispenser".

It would be electrically powered, dispensing individual pennies at a low velocity, say 5 mph.

To get an idea of the principle behind this penny dispenser, check out the DREAD weapon design.

With careful (mis)design, the removal of a single part would remove the governor on the device's speed, enabling it to "dispense" pennies at a little under the speed of sound.  Ouchie!

You would have to include instructions with every penny dispenser on how to remove that part, so the owner would be sure not to do it.

The ammunition would be cheap and untraceable.

Just saying.

Very true, but the reason they are buying that particular model, is that that model matches their EXISTING inventory, which they do not enumerate, and their armory staff know how to work on them, and they already have an existing inventory of ammo. I wouldn't go writing them off just yet.

In this regard, I like the way you think....lol

I think they're preparing for when the SHTF.

Am I wrong--I thought I read somewhere that Obama gave the IRS "police power." He did this so they could enforce the healthcare plan.  Sounds like the IRS plans to gear up whether the healthcare plan goes through or not.

They are only buying 60 shotguns..........hell that won't even contain one block in the ghetto in DC.

Why do you think the military is training to kill American citizens on American soil? It's because the IRS goons will be backed by the military. The moment somebody shoots an armed IRS agent, they will immediately declare martial law, and military troops on the streets will kill indiscriminately, with neither remorse nor regret.

 I remember when the IRS field agents were assigned to carry sidearms.
 I was going to test fire a 38 at the local police station firing range, this was about 38 years past,  the range  had targets on a new cable system, they were shot to pieces.
 The guy on duty told me that IRS agents newly assigned weapon carrriers IRS had been there and shot the shiite out of the place. I asked him how come they weren't supervised, he replied, fo F** sake they were federal agents.
             I remember thinking about the fable of the sherriff of Notingham's tax collection crew.
                  The writing is on the wall, carved into granite, "buckle up" my friends.
