You appear to be intentionally ignoring the obvious thing you just tripped over.....
Or you literally reach the end of the rope - it isn't the fall that kills you, it is the sudden stop.
When $200 fine snowballs into $100K salary plus retirement. Braces, whether you like them or not, are still legal in most states and are not unregistered SBRs for the moment. That $200 goes to ATF not the IRS. I think an IRS agent has no more authority than an EPA or FAA agent over tax stamps.
Hiring 87k new agents isn't the same thing as hiring armed agents. Unless you have info the confirms that ALL the new hires will be armed agents?

I do believe that the IRS has authority to enforce laws regarding any federal tax.
Maybe, maybe not.
That tax would not be collected by IRS. So why are we talking about the IRS?
Who said I'm ignoring it? I said that Democrats must be aware of it.
Why is the IRS hiring so many agents and posting job descriptions that include the requirement that the agents be willing to use lethal force and be armed?
It's not all the new legal gun owners causing an increased expense in caring for the victims. It's the lack of law enforcement and pandering to the criminal element that has caused an increase in violence and shootings.Roxanne Bland, Forbes Contributor, suggests tax code could be used to influence gun owners' behavior. She doesn't specify the agency responsible for collecting taxes, but does suggest tax deductions for those who participate in training and weapons storage at a Federally Licensed Range.
I think it is worth a read. If you don't have the time, I have included a screenshot of her conclusion.
There is even an option to listen. (Listen at 2X speed if you are in a rush)...
These types of ideas are out there...whether it is included in current legislation or not. Weighing possibility against probability, and preparing for what you consider to be likelihood, might be the only control you have.
The Second Amendment, Taxes, And Gun Control
Roxanne Bland examines efforts states and localities could make to help increase gun control without infringing on the Second Amendment and citizen’s right to own firearms.

I guess it's just me being a "it's white on this side" kind of guy, but the 'why' they are hiring so many agents has been well publicized, there is no evidence that the job description in question applies to all new hires and AFAIK there is no evidence that this is a new or in anyway unique job description that hasn't been posted for years.
There is nothing in the job description that excludes any applicants either. Generally, if the description states a requirement, it applies to all who apply for that position, not just some - otherwise it would state that qualifier/exception.
You're making my morning.

Yeah, that was my point
Aww man.Here is the source article for those images
The only one that stands out to me in a positive way is the black girl with the reddish hair in picture two. I'd say her parents are likely gun owners who have taught her proper safety.
