Bachmann Conspiracy Theory: Obama Wants More ‘Violence’ So He Can Regulate Guns | Conservatives have been obsessed with the trumped up scandal surrounding a botched ATF operation known as “Fast and Furious,” which involved selling weapons to Mexican drug cartels, but Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) took the conspiracy mongering to new levels while campaigning in Iowa this week, as only she can. Bachmann suggested that the Obama administration carried out the operation in order to “create more violence,” so they could turn around and demand gun control. “The scuttlebutt is that the reason why they gave them these guns is to create more violence on the border so that President Obama can call for gun control,” she told a crowd in Storm Lake, the Des Moines Register reports.
