Gun Nut Congressman Wants to Disarm Federal Agents

Now this is rich.
South Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District representative wants to know why he saw IRS agents training with powerful, semi-automatic rifles.

Republican Jeff Duncan said he made the discovery at a Maryland Federal Law Enforcement Training Center on May 23...

...The IRS uses standard firearms training common to all federal law enforcement agencies," said Green.

According to an IRS website, Criminal Investigation (CI) is the law enforcement branch of the IRS. Special agents combine law enforcement and accounting skills to investigate financial crimes. They are duly sworn agents trained to "follow the money."

Why the hell would a congressman who works overtime to arm the general populace (most of whom have little to no training) be upset that federal agents are engaged in firearm training?
Wing nuts. Not just for breakfast anymore.

As I like to point out often, stupidity and paranoia are not measurable with any yardstick of sanity, reason or simple intelligence.
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.
