TPM reports Inhofe’s Gun Conspiracy Theory Based On Fiction "A bill introduced late last week by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) and Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) would ban federal agencies, excluding the Pentagon, from buying more ammunition during a six-month period if it currently possesses more than its monthly averages during the Bush administration.
The conspiracy theory that incubated the bill is that the Obama administration is trying to buy up bullets so ordinary Americans have less access to them in the marketplace.
‘President Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans’ access and opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights,’ Inhofe said in a statement. ‘One way the Obama Administration is able to do this is by limiting what’s available in the market with federal agencies purchasing unnecessary stockpiles of ammunition.’
Only it’s false — as no less a pro-gun organization than the NRA declared last year."
No wonder nothing gets done.
