Limbaugh: Recent arrests of ISIS suspects is a ploy by Obama to push net neutrality and ban bullets



Rush Limbaugh Conspiracy Theory: NYC ISIS Arrests A Ploy To Push Net Neutrality, Ban Gun Ammunition

Radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested that reports of the recent arrests of three suspected American supporters of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) are actually a ploy by the Obama administration to push net neutrality regulations and a ruse to "ban the sale of bullets."

On February 25, two men were arrested in New York City, along with an accomplice in Florida, charged with "providing support for the Islamic State" according to The New York Times.

During the February 25 edition of his radio program, Limbaugh suggested that the news of the arrests was politically timed to coincide with the FCC's ruling on net neutrality regulations. Limbaugh also described the arrests as a media conspiracy meant to give cover for the government to "ban the sale of bullets," an apparent reference to a proposal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit the availability of ammunition that when fired from a handgun is capable of penetrating body armor worn by law enforcement officers.

I read the OP title as "a ploy to push net neutrality and ban mullets" - which would probably piss off more RWers than if Obama was pushing to ban bullets.

It's been a loooong day ...

These days they use pole vaults, rocket-assisted jumps, or true teleportation.

I guess he never considered that Obama was a conspiracy to get ourselves some health care and net neutrality.

He pulls obvious nonsense like this out of his ass and the dumb shits keep
coming back for more. I've got to laugh at this kind of boundless stupidity.
