[quote=SK in CV][quote=dumbrenter][quote=SK in CV]I get that CAR. Everything you’ve pasted, copied and commented on is disturbing to say the least, I’m just not seeing any connection between those with power and wealth (the government, and big business) and the anti-gun movement. If anything, they are on opposite ends of the spectrum, and unlike on some issues, they’re not meeting at the other end of the circle.[/quote]
SK, in near future the country will face an either/or choice: (a) inflate massively to get out of this hole
(b) raise taxes and at the same time cut welfare across the board.
If option (a) is chosen, it is the wealthy who get hurt since they hold most dollars, so it is unlikely they will let it happen.
If option (b) is chosen, things will come to head with middle income folks (right or left) and unlike other countries, these fellows have guns which makes things a little bit harder for the “power & wealth” class.
Hence their interest in making sure the bulk of population is emasculated before proceeding.
I am not claiming this is a fact, but just a conjecture of the connection you are looking for.[/quote]
Your options are begging the question. I’m not sure there is any conclusive evidence that the US economy faces the limited options you propose.
Irrespective of that, I would think that if there is a connection between the monied crowd and gun control, it could be identified. Is Monsanto funding gun control advocacy? JP Morgan? Goldman Sachs?[/quote]
Looking for conclusive evidence is both idealistic and immature. If you see a third or 4th option, please add to it.
By the time the conclusive evidence presents itself to you it will be too late. Obviously it is in the interest of the “monied crowd” to make sure such an evidence does not exist.
That said, to be clear, I have no “conclusive evidence” other than a set of correlations.
