Perhaps you intended to use that last word, so if you did,
your sentence is funny.

When I spotted the error in his previous post, I thought of:
"Praise the Lord! And pass the ammunition!"

If, however, you intended to refer to a type of law, the
spelling is "ordinance."

It's quite a common error, although (perhaps because one of
my regular haunts is rec.aviation.military) munitions seem
to be written up as edicts more than the other way round.
