Alex Jones’ InfoWars and several other conservative websites are reporting that with a “minor” rule change, the state has greatly expanded its list of “armed prohibited persons” — people who for some reason no longer have their Second Amendment rights, according to the state.

Like all such tyrannical power plays, this one sounded reasonable at the time. It was advertised as only affecting those who had felony records, mental health problems and domestic restraining orders that make allowing them to have guns unwise.

Since then, the state has pumped an additional $24 million into the program, and the list has quickly expanded to include people who are delinquent in paying taxes, who owe toll duties or who have committed a variety of misdemeanors.
