Joni Ernst when she announced legislation to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/taking-aim-at-the-americas-taxman-one-senators-mission-to-disarm-the-irs\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"irs-under-fire-congresswoman-demands-answers-over-10m-militarization-spending\" title=\"IRS Under Fire: Congresswoman Demands Answers Over $10M Militarization Spending\">disarm the IRS<\/a>, and likewise, we support Rep. Bice in her effort to get the facts.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the Biden administration, which has been vocal about restricting gun rights, seems keen on heavily arming federal agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are hopeful Rep. Bice gets all the information she\u2019s requested,\u201d Gottlieb added, \u201cso she can share it with the taxpayers whose money has been spent on all of this hardware.
