Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from providing firearms and ammunition to its employees, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill aims to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from purchasing, receiving, or storing firearms and ammunition, and mandates the transfer of any existing IRS-owned firearms and ammunition to the Administrator of General Services within 120 days of enactment. The bill requires the Administrator to then sell the firearms to licensed gun dealers and auction the ammunition to the general public, with all proceeds going toward reducing the national deficit. Additionally, the bill transfers the administration and enforcement of criminal investigations related to internal revenue laws from the IRS to the Department of Justice, specifically moving the Criminal Investigation Division to become a distinct entity within the Justice Department's Criminal Division. The bill defines key terms such as "firearm" and "ammunition" by referencing existing legal definitions in Title 18 of the United States Code. By shifting investigatory responsibilities and removing the IRS's ability to arm its agents, the legislation appears to be designed to limit the law enforcement capabilities of the tax collection agency.
