Conspiracy Theory

If you’re worried that the Obama administration is buying up bullets so you can’t have any — Representative Frank Lucas and Senator Inhofe are here to assuage your fears with legislation co-sponsored by Alex Jones.

Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), and Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) will put forth the Ammunition Management for More Obtainability Act (or, AMMO) Act in both the House and Senate. The bill would require executive branch agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to maintain ammunition levels below the average monthly amounts that the agencies had before Obama took office.

According to a joint press release from Lucas and Inhofe, “The legislation would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a report on the purchasing of ammunition by federal agencies, except the Department of Defense, and its affect on the supply of ammunition available to the public.”

Lets assume for a moment that the Obama administration really is buying up ammunition to use against the American people as the conspiracy theorists suggest. Why would you exempt the Department of Defense? Are we to believe that the president has the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security in his back pocket, but not the Pentagon? According to Inhofe’s Razor, this makes perfect sense.

Shouldn’t this bill include something about the U.N. just to round-out the conspiracy trifecta?
