Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) announced a bill Tuesday that would bar the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from providing arms and ammunition to agents with taxpayer money.

The measure would prohibit the federal tax agency from purchasing, receiving, or storing guns and ammunition, according to Ernst’s office. Under the bill, ammunition and firearms that are currently in possession by the IRS would be transferred to another federal agency, the General Services Administration, for auction.
