Team Biden’s IRS buying up (MORE) ammunition.
Team Biden’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) spent some $700,000 on firearm ammunition between March 1 and June 1, Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz said.
The IRS’s ammunition acquisition is “bizarre,” Gaetz told Breitbart News.
“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 said.
If federal entities continue buying up ammunition, it could put American citizens in a place where the exercise of the Second Amendment is limited due to the inability to get ammunition, Gaetz said.
He painted a dire scenario where the government reduces ammunition production “and, on the other hand, [soaks] up the supply of it.”
Breitbart Second Amendment columnist AWR Hawkins noted that a usaspending.gov search lists the IRS’s ammunition purchases, which occurred over a period of months in increments ranging from $3,201 worth of ammo at one time to $92,000+ worth of ammo at one time.
According to a report from OpenTheBooks published in 2020, the IRS had stockpiled 4,600 guns and five million rounds of ammunition as of Jan. 1, 2019. With Democrats calling for $80 billion in additional funding and the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents, that arsenal was expected to grow significantly.
A TIGTA report found that special agents at the IRS Criminal Investigation Division accidentally fired their weapons more often than they intentionally fired them: “According to documentation provided by all 26 CI field offices, the NCITA, and the TIGTA OI, there were a total of eight firearm discharges classified as intentional use of force incidents and 11 discharges classified as accidental during FYs 2009 through 2011.”
In a September 2021 analysis for The Federalist, David Kopel noted: “The gun prohibition lobbies, having mostly failed in their campaigns to convince legislatures to ban guns, have intensified their efforts to disarm Americans by other means. … The ongoing ammunition shortage is seriously impairing the exercise of Second Amendment rights. Many gun owners have cut back on practice because they cannot be sure they will be able to replace the ammunition they use. Some firing ranges are not even able to sell customers a box of ammunition. The shortage is particularly burdensome for the millions of Americans who purchased their first firearm in 2020 and are being deprived of practice opportunities.”

Wonder what the story behind the story is.  What are they doing with this ammo?  Are they then reselling it at a profit to unsavory characters in faraway places or putting it on the streets to the gang banger's?  Wouldn't put anything past them.

Saudi Arabia Seizes Rainbow-Colored Products in Crackdown on Homosexuality
(Will the LGBT freaks march on the Saudi embassy in DC?, because you know damn well they won’t march in Saudi Arabia, lol. (I’ve got to admit that confiscating rainbow colored CRAYON boxes is a tad on the craycray side.))
While gay pride flags are flying high everywhere in the western world, officials in Saudi Arabia have launched a crackdown on the promotion of homosexuality by seizing rainbow-colored items being sold in shops.
The crackdown is primarily unfolding in the country’s capital, Riyadh, where toys and clothing featuring rainbow colors are being removed from store shelves.
“We are having to look out for slogans that violate the rules of Islam and public morals like promoting homosexuality colors, targeting the young generation,” said a Ministry of Commerce official.
Saudi state-run TV channel al-Ekhbariya reported that items seized include children’s hair accessories, pencil cases, backpacks and crayon packets that feature rainbow colors.
Officials justified the seizures by asserting that the colors represent a “poisonous message” to children.
Similar seizures occurred in Qatar last year, which will play host to the 2022 World Cup featuring western teams that routinely perform acts of virtue signaling in support of the LGBT movement.
Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia, where punishments under Islamic Sharia law range from fines and public whipping, to chemical castration and execution.
Given it’s gay pride month, will this spark a massive protest march on the Saudi embassy in Washington DC and other western capitals?
Don’t hold your breath.
The alphabet people seem more concerned with protecting the rights of drag queens (transvestite strippers) to perform sexualized dancers and expose themselves to your children.

Swimming’s World Governing Body Slaps Total Ban on Transgender Athletes.
They will have to compete in a separate category. (Other sports ALL need to support rules exactly like these. ALL records set by “transitioning” males pretending to be females should be completely and forever be erased from ALL record books and stats.)
Swimming’s world governing body has slapped a total ban on transgender athletes that have gone through any form of male puberty from taking part in women’s competitions.
It’s about time!
Fina’s new policy, which was passed by a margin of 71 per cent after its 152 members voted on the issue, will force transgender swimmers to compete in a separate category that only includes those who claim their gender identity is different from their biological sex.
For transgender athletes who were born men to compete in women’s events, they must have completed their transition by the age of 12.
Fina president Husain Al-Musallam said the vote was about “protecting competitive fairness” and the rights of athletes.
“Fina will always welcome every athlete,” Al-Musallam said. “The creation of an open category will mean that everybody has the opportunity to compete at an elite level.”
Former British swimmer Sharron Davies praised the decision, asserting that she was “proud” of Fina for “doing the science, asking the athletes/coaches and standing up for fair sport for females.”
As we previously highlighted, top doctors told the New York Times that transgender swimmer Lia Thomas still had an unfair advantage over biological females despite the athlete having undergone testosterone suppressing therapy.
After entering female competitions, Thomas soared in national rankings, jumping from 32nd place in men’s meets to eighth in the 1,650-yard female freestyle.
Meanwhile, in a related story, football’s main governing body FIFA will make it easier for transgender athletes to compete in elite female competitions by removing testosterone threshold rules.

Sounds a lot like the CIA funding their overseas operations by protecting the poppy fields in stan.

I see this as a multi purpose SHTF situation. There is NO telling how many reasons they could come up with for arming up. I can think of several reasons they would claim and I'm not even an "expert."
