I understand that, but correct me if I'm wrong (Navigator seems to understand the govt HR system better than I)...the IRS reports up to Treasury. Any law enforcement activities gets turned over to Justice (FBI and US Marshall's if a tax cheat is on the lamb).
This will change that and give them tactical deadly force units. That's a big deal.
Lois Lerner (insert either party here as potential abusers) weaponized the IRS by merely cutting off tax status. Think of what they can do now. I will not stop with tax cheats...it never does.
I guess its not a big deal because IRS agents have "Use of Force" guidelines from 2015.
So no...this law didn't change anything
