Rep. Matt Gaetz: Biden’s IRS Spent Approximately $700,000 on Ammo ‘Between March and June 1’
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Breitbart News Saturday the IRS spent approximately $700,000 “between March and June 1” purchasing ammunition.
Gaetz described the ammunition acquisition as “bizarre.”
He noted he and his Republican colleagues are trying to ascertain why the ammunition was purchased, noting, “There is concern that this is part of a broader effort to have any entity in the federal government buy up ammo to reduce the amount of ammunition that is in supply, while at the same time, making it harder to produce ammo.”
Gaetz noted a scenario where federal entities are buying up ammo puts citizens in a place where the exercise of the Second Amendment is limited due to the inability to get ammunition.
He painted a dire scenario where the government reduces ammunition production “and, on the other hand, [soaks] up the supply of it.”

The IRS does have criminal investigators, and they are authorized to carry, and are most likely also required to practice, so it would not be unheard of for the IRS to be purchasing ammunition for its CID investigators.

Production has already been dried up as Lake City Arsenal no longer can sell extra ammo to the civilian sector, accounting for an overnight reduction of 30% in the supply of 5.56 ammo.
Searches for Lake City 7.62X51 yield none available, either.

Pretty small amount of ammo, unlike the billions of rounds Obama's administration bought up
