Yesterday Twitchy reported that conspiracy theorists already suspect the government of orchestrating the Aurora, Colo. theater shooting to grease the skids for the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. And now, they believe they have evidence that their crazy-eyed suspicions are warranted — an article from NaturalNews.com.
This is not your run-of-the-mill crime of passion. It was a carefully planned, heavily funded and technically advanced attack. Who might be behind all this? The FBI, of course, which has a long history of setting up and staging similar attacks, then stopping them right before they happen.

There really is no such thing as “too soon” for these unhinged paranoids.
Update:
Lee Stranahan is also calling out the crazy:
I think it's important that conservatives call BS on the "Aurora Truthers" asap – because the MSM WILL link this to us- what do you think?
