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.
The lawmakers say the Obama administration is buying up exceedingly high levels of ammunition in an attempt to limit the number of bullets the American public have access to on the open marketplace.
"President Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans access and opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights," said Inhofe.
.......
After hearing from my constituents about the shortage of ammunition in Oklahoma and the Department of Homeland Securitys profligate purchases of ammunition, we have introduced the AMMO Act of 2013 to curtail these purchases so Americans can exercise their Second Amendment rights without being encumbered by the federal government, said Lucas.

(8,582 posts)Gun nuts are in panic mode buying up all the ammo. So allow more gun nuts to buy ammo by limiting the Gov's buying. Typical Republican.

I'm glad to see the conspiracy fleshed out a bit.
