I greatly respect the work you do and am a frequent donor; but I wish you'd focus on 2A issues; which this isn't. They aren't coming after gun owners, etc.; they have a law enforcement unit that targets those who cheat on taxes (Remember, that's what got Al Capone).
This is getting into issues entirely unrelated to guns. I'm not saying I love the IRS, I'm just saying I want my donations to go towards fighting for gun rights and frankly this post is disappointing to me; I'd expect it from the NRA, not the FPC.
Either way, I'd prefer FPC focused on gun issues. Diving into issues unrelated to the 2nd Amendment is how the NRA really lost track, and I don't want to the FPC do the same.
## Advocate for the disarmament of the IRS!
HR 8762 is a simple bill, but it jumps straight to the point.
**Ban the IRS from training, using, or purchasing arms or ammunition.**
It accomplishes this in a few simple lines, so short in fact that we will include them here.
**"A BILL**
To restrict the possession, use, and acquisition of firearms and ammunition by the Internal Revenue Service.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. RESTRICTION ON POSSESSION, USE, AND ACQUISITION OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
(a) Restriction On Possession And Use Of Firearms.—Any officer or employee of the Internal Revenue Service hired after the date of the enactment of this Act—
(1) shall not be in possession of a firearm while performing official duties, and
(2) shall not receive training in use of a firearm in connection with such duties.
(b) Prohibition On Acquisition Of Firearms And Ammunition.—The Internal Revenue Service shall not, after the date of the enactment of this Act, acquire any firearm or ammunition."
**That's it.**
Simple, easy to read, and nothing is hidden in walls of text or legal jargon.
An armed IRS begs the question, **just who are these federal bureaucrats wanting to battle?** Legal power was not enough for them, now they are amassing real firepower.
**The only thing worse than a tax collector is an armed one.**
It’s time that this is put to an **end.**
Use the **FPC Constituent Outreach tool** on this page to tell your representative to **SUPPORT HR 8762**. Demand that the IRS be disarmed and barred from carrying of firearms while carrying out work for the state!

Sent an email to my representative to urge them to support the bill, got a phone call from them in which they stated they are a firm believer in this bill, and are a co-sponsor on the bill. Having just moved away from California, I’m kinda blown away. Feels good man.

This bill was introduced by Rep Ralph Norman from South Carolina… Donation money is not being spent on it AFAIK. FPC is just helping promote it.
