As Twitchy reported earlier today, Mother Jones editor Clara Jeffery used the murder of war hero Chris Kyle as inspiration for a ridiculous rant on the necessity of gun control.
Some on the far right are taking things to the other extreme, claiming that the shooting is a conspiracy. Many of these people think the shooting was ordered by the Obama Administration. We kid you not.
Anyone else not sure this whole Chris Kyle story passes the smell test? #Sniper #Conspiracy?

Chris Kyle's murder yesterday was a conspiracy, no way the top Sniper in US Military history is murdered at a gun range for no reason

I am shocked and surprised that this was an accident. Im smelling a conspiracy theory…R.I.P Chris Kyle, a true American hero.

@gretawire The murder of Chris Kyle is a conspiracy. Obama's gun control, who better to do it than someone with PTSD that Kyle had helped.

Tragic that Chris Kyle a true America hero is gone. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it sure looks like our military is under attack.

Chris Kyle getting shot… How convenient in the middle of Obama's gun ban bullshit. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Fucking jackass.

The Obama Administration is guilty of many wrongs, but to suggest that it is behind the shooting of Chris Kyle belittles the tragedy of what occurred yesterday.
It is time for the conspiracists to put down their tin foil hats and get a grip.

Oh FFS. People already claiming gov't conspiracy in Chris Kyle's death. Get real.

I officially hate stupid people. There's no conspiracy about an American hero dying. Chris Kyle died of an awful murder. #respecthim

Gun nuts – Stop peddling conspiracy theories about Chris Kyle. And gun control folks, wait for the details before you shoot your mouths off.
