In theory, this has been debunked multiple times on TFL...
... so if it is not true, why is it now being reported by Forbes and The Denver Post?
http://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphben...-conversation/ If it is true, after all, then what is the goal? Could the .gov really want to drive ammo prices beyond the budgets of most Americans? Can we get Congress to defund this? |

The Denver Post story (which is actually from the Associated Press) does debunk the conspiracy-theory aspect of this.
The Forbes piece is an op-ed... by someone who apparently wants to fan the flames. Meh. I don't think this needs more discussion; the story has been debunked, as you point out. ETA: See the detailed analysis of the facts of this matter here, in the "Reliable Sources" sticky at the top of the L&CR page.
