Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) are co-sponsors of the measure, <a href=\"https:\/\/gaetz.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/congressman-matt-gaetz-introduces-disarm-irs-act\">according<\/a> to his office.<\/p>\n<p>It came after Gaetz, in interviews with Fox News and other outlets, expressed concern after he discovered that the IRS purchased more than $700,000 in ammunition in recent days. The congressman suggested that it\u2019s part of a broader White House plan to disarm Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s the Biden plan: Disarm Americans, open the border, empty the prisons\u2013but rest assured, they\u2019ll still collect your taxes, and they need $725,000 worth of ammunition, apparently, to get the job done,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/gaetz-blasts-irs-railroad-agency-buying-ammo-heaviest-artillery-calculator\">told<\/a> Fox News last week.<\/p>\n<p>The bill, he said, would put a \u201ctotal moratorium on the IRS buying ammo. When we used to talk about the IRS being weaponized, we were talking about political discrimination, not actual weapons for the IRS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUndeniably, 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 the ammo that they can possibly find,\u201d Gaetz alleged.<\/p>\n<p> 5 Million Rounds <\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/products\/gao-19-175\">report<\/a> released by the\u00a0Government Accountability Office in 2018, the IRS has been stockpiling ammunition and weapons for years. As of 2018, the agency had 4,487 firearms and\u00a05,062,006 rounds of ammunition in its inventory, the report said.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/rep-gaetz-1200x800-1.jpg\"><\/a> Rep.
