IRS buying-up ammo

[salmon creek gary]

I thought the DEA handled illegal drugs and wasn't the Secret Service created for counterfeiting? I can see the IRS investigating, but kicking down doors needs to be done by ab agency designated for that purpose.

Hmm, I thought I was providing some anecdotal insight based on personal boots-on-the-ground experience. Guess I missed the mark. Federal agencies have a defined mission, and I see you get that, but no agency works in a vacuum. Trying to act like they're the only show in town can get really messy, potentially get cases tossed, and maybe even get people hurt. Hence, multi-agency investigations & take-downs.

Federal agencies must work together when a situation presents overlapping areas of interest. In some cases, an "operational interest check" with other agencies reveals concurrent investigative interest in certain persons, business entities, or activities. If that's the case, they may partner up, or remain in close coordination, or at least tread very lightly to avoid f-ing up each other's investigation.

Agencies with differing missions have differing strengths and expertise. When working together is called for, the combined capabilities can only strengthen an investigation or operation. That's a plus, but - full disclosure now - sharing credit is a minus. Reputations, promotions and budgets are hard fought-for and jealously guarded, so the concept of cooperation doesn't perfectly translate into a joyful hand-in-hand dance under the moonlight amidst butterflies and flowers. But it still beats the Lone Ranger act.

Multi-agency efforts often develop because of various federal, state, and local prosecutive jurisdictions. Again, no agency is an island or complete unto itself. An agency might own the mission, but not the jurisdictional patch of ground. Even the people in that patch might belong to still another jurisdiction. For example, (a) GI's who "belong" to the military (b) committing federal drug offenses (c) within the boundaries of local or state jurisdiction. To make it even more hairy, such offenses may involve international borders, bringing in a couple more agencies with federal interest.

To bring it all to a point, no single agency is going to do the big wrap-up all by their lonesome when there are other agencies with joint or overlapping operational or prosecutive responsibility. Mind you, one agency might plan & direct the take-down and those would be the "big dogs", the experts that you feel ought to do that job. See, we agree. However, all agencies involved are participants to some extent and everyone there is going to be armed (can you imagine being assigned to babysit an unarmed "partner"? Worse yet, being the one who must be babysat?). Since every agency rep is armed, it would be good if all of them have "carry" ammunition in their firearms. Kaching, ammo purchases. In order to be maintain qualification to carry a firearm, they must regularly expend training ammunition. Kaching, more ammo purchases. And government agencies purchasing ammunition is what got this thread started.

We Oregonians have one of our own to blame for this.....The media and talking heads deflect to Schumer and Manchin but that's nonsense.

"This will give us the chance to raise the revenue from wealthy tax cheats who are getting out of paying what they owe," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

This from an Aug 5th article in NEWSNATION.

Oregon sends seriously dishonest people to the US congress. Ron Wyden knows full well the rich have accountants and lawyers available to interpret the tax code leeches like Wyden and his greasy buddies write. This crap is designed to fall squarely on small business and private middle class citizens. That's where the money is.

This is part of an upcoming war on inheritable wealth. You may have earned it. But they want it. The idea of taxing unrealized profits is part of this. They're trying to figure out how to get their hands on the trillions of dollars Americans have earned/saved/invested.

These people don't know how to create anything. They know how to appropriate and steal. You watch....getting their hands on your inheritable wealth is coming front and center.

Wyden has stood up to his party and the admin a few times (e.g., Patriot Act), but yes, he is too smart to say such BS and think it is true.

The IRS is hiring special agents prepared to use 'deadly force' if needed and is paying up to $95,000

The recruits will be required to work at least 50 hours a week, be on-call 24/7 even during vacations, and be trained to "follow the money."

Once cash is banned in the United State and all transaction are online you cannot hide from the IRS. Makes it bad for a natural disaster since online systems will most likely go down so you are screwed if you cannot use cash anymore.

Then The State gets to be the hero and rush in to feed you. Or overpay a pet company to screw it up. Total dependence leads to total compliance. I think I read that somewhere. Ann, Ayn, somebody or other.

It's a buildup for an all out attack!

Probably in the book, "Atlas Shrugged" most likely. I watched some of the movies but have not read the book.

I should have been more clear. I was trying to be funny. I have a couple of Ayn Rand's books.

That's not enough ammo.....




Aloha, Mark

So that works out to seven rounds per agent. Lol

They are hiring 360 armed criminal investigators.

Marxism in Simple Terms

If you live in America, you know how it works under a capitalist system, meaning there are different socioeconomic classes. You may hear these classes called upper, middle, and lower class. However, you might also hear words like blue-collar worker, working poor, white-collar worker, etc. All these different terms define where someone stands on their society's socioeconomic ladder. Some classes struggle, while others rule the corporate world.

To analyze and remove this struggle, Marxism came into play. To define Marxism in simple terms, it's a political and economic theory where a society has no classes. Every person within the society works for a common good, and class struggle is theoretically gone. Sounds simple right? Not so much. Actually, many horror movies and dystopian books are written based on trying to create a classless, utopian society.

We even have real-life examples of the horrors of Marxism...

That wasn't real communism/socialism/marxism that time. We know how to do it right.

So, should we do a group buy on ammo? Maybe get a good deal?
