Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from purchasing, receiving, or storing firearms and ammunition, effective 120 days after passage. Within the same 120-day period, the IRS must transfer any guns and ammunition it currently owns to the General Services Administration, which would then sell the firearms to licensed dealers and auction the ammunition to the public, with all proceeds going toward deficit reduction. Additionally, the bill would transfer the IRS Criminal Investigation Division—including its personnel, functions, and assets—to the Department of Justice's Criminal Division within 90 days, making the Attorney General responsible for investigating and enforcing all criminal provisions of tax law and related statutes. The legislation effectively removes law enforcement capabilities from the IRS by disarming the agency and moving its criminal investigations to the Justice Department.
