Successive GOP administrations have so badly neutered the IRS that I think you can get away with just about anything. A pity, I've read for every dollar spent on the IRS 7$ in taxes are recovered.
So far as I know if the IRS really wants to collect taxes they call the Federal Marshals, who are most definitely and rather heavily armed.
In my 17 years as a Deputy U.S. Marshal I never once collect a tax. Did I arrest people who for years failed to pay taxes with a warrant drawn up with probable cause by a U.S. Attorney signed by a federal judge? Yes. But never did the IRS send us to collect taxes. The U.S. Marshal Service enforces court orders. If the court ordered us seize property or assests after due process in a tax matter, we did. But that is far from collecting taxes.
