What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act," prohibits the Internal Revenue Service from purchasing, receiving, or storing firearms and ammunition. Under the act, the Commissioner must transfer all such items to the Administrator of General Services within 120 days of enactment. The Administrator of General Services is then tasked with selling firearms to licensed dealers and auctioning ammunition to the general public. Any proceeds from these sales are to be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury for deficit reduction. Additionally, the bill transfers the authorities, functions, personnel, and assets of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division to the Department of Justice. The Attorney General will then oversee the administration and enforcement of criminal internal revenue laws.
