Subject: RE: BS: Tyranny?
With all of this ranting about how government is going to drive us all into debt, eliminate cash, etc., you seem to have lost track of the fact that the entire economy and everything dependent on it is a construct of government. If the U.S. government wanted to make such overt attempts to indebt the society, they could simply declare printed money, checks, and credit cards not legal tender. That would be as effctive as any measures you have described and far faster. Obviously, people would continue to use the money, but they will in any event. Either rebellion will be effective, in which case none of your prophesies is a danger, or it will not be, in which cae it's already too late.

The restriction of hadguns is neither a violation of the Second Amendment nor a threat to citizens' ability to defend themselves. If you think that any pistol will scratch the paint on an APC, or be anything but a gesture against troops with assault rifles and LAWs, you are sady mistaken. If you are truly convinced that you must defend yourself against the Feds, get a deer rifle.
