Drop the Deduction or I'll Shoot

The Internal Revenue Service is buying shotguns. Specifically, they are buying 60 Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns.

With such a short barrel (14"), these are very aggressive weapons. This is not a weapon designed to wound. It is designed to kill instantly. One shot from a shotgun like this could easily kill a full-grown man. Shotguns like this are ideal for storming houses, engaging in close-quarters combat, and killing anyone who resists.

Hmm, what do you think the IRS has planned? This acquisition is probably part of their dependant-reduction program. It is nice to know the IRS is opting for stopping power when selecting weapons.

On the bright site, the IRS has good taste in weapons. Here is something very similar to what they are buying: http://www.remingtonle.com/shotguns/870tactical.htm. (The IRS shotguns will have an upgraded adjustable stock.) These are very nice, functional weapons, and any gun owner would want one in his/her collection.

As a private citizen, it is not legal for you to own a shotgun like this without a special permit, payment of extra fees, and submission of a lot of paperwork. This sort of weapon has been deemed too deadly to be owed by law-abiding citizens. At least you get the pleasure of buying one for the IRS when you file your taxes this year.

Pay your taxes or else!
