Republicans want to limit the number of bullets federal agencies can purchase so American gun owners can buy more.
Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe and Rep. Frank Lucas have introduced a bill that would prohibit every government agency — except the military — from buying more ammunition each month, than the monthly average it purchased from 2001 to 2009.You'll probably recognize what Inhofe is spouting here as one of the biggest running conspiracy theories in the far-far-right, aka the militia crowd, aka people who shouldn't be trusted with scissors but who are still allowed to have guns, aka Glenn Beck's base. The theory goes that the federal government is buying up huge amounts of ammunition so that their federal agents in, for example, the Treasury Department, are well prepared for the coming military dictatorship in which those agents, e.g. the Treasury Department, will start rounding up all good far-right crackpots and putting them into FEMA camps.
We believe people who try to peddle such garbage should be addressed this way.
