The gov't (which is actually controlled by reptilian space aliens who live under Denver International Airport and eat missing people for sustenance) is actually buying them up so that the concentration camp under DIA will finally have armed guards. This is of course only the beginning of a nefarious plot hatched by the space reptiles (one of whom is George W. Bush, BTW) and the mayors of the Denver Metropolitan area.
Starting in 2008 when the Committee that Runs America Presently fixes the election so that their favored candidate wins (every single candidate is actually a DIA space reptile, as is the entire MSM), anyone who is not brainwashed by the hideous DIA murals into a mindless drone will be instantly pinioned by DIA security and spirited away into the catacombs beneath DIA. There they will be fed an unrelenting diet of beans, cabbage, and (for the lactose intolerant) milk. This is for two reasons: one, the space aliens living under DIA think that this feeding technique makes missing people tastier and two, it will solve the coming natural gas shortage in the Rocky Mountain Region. This is the payoff for the mayors of the cities in the Denver Metro area because then they will not have to contend with natural gas riots and will thus find reelection easier.
This is not the end of this of course. Sooner or later the world will find out the truth about DIA. The mayors of the Denver Metro area and the space reptiles living under DIA (and in the White House) know this. They have therefore devised a plan to fly planeloads of people into DIA until every single person in the world has been given the DIA mural "test". Naturally the armies of mindless drones (the DIA murals produce selective brain damage in the weaker minded individuals) who round up everyone in the world and fly them to DIA will need to be armed. Since drones aren't too bright it is not worth arming them with an expensive weapon. Thus, not only are hundreds of thousands of Hi-Point carbines required to arm the DIA concentration camp guards, literally billions of them will be required to arm the army of mindless human drones who will betray their own planet and fight for their reptilian alien overlords against the ever dwindling numbers of humanity who have not been subjected to the DIA murals.
Edit to add: No, of course I don't believe this pap. But the Westword from a couple of weeks ago was pretty inspiring though.
