The US cant let the runaway economic train slip out of their greedy lil hands and crash.

Otherwise, its lights out for the world.

They are getting desperate they have to get the guns before currency collapse or the tables will be turned and they will become the hunted instead of the predators they have been...

Why is gold so valued? Because somehow, in the past, our ancestors have all decided that it was. Much like diamonds weren't truly appreciated until a few hundred years ago, it's because someone said so. If people weren't brainwashed into thinking that gold was the key to everything (unless it was sought and mined by aliens and so told to us that it was worth more than anything if they travelled interstellar to get it from earth, but that's a story for another time and post, I guess) we the people would be more likely to find personal value in our belongings and barter with one another based on real values of goods in hand or services. The role of the gold and the government is to keep the banking system in control of US the people who slave under it. We need to get back to living off what we can make and barter for so that everyone truly appreciates what they have. Inflated numbers in an inflated banking system on the verge of collapse due to the prospect of losing a pile of gold that we have never actually seen, seems like a failure from the start not to have tangible backing for our currency.

We have become so enslaved to the banks and global economies that when the monetary system collapses, most of us will not know how to acquire our basic needs and a lot of people may turn to force (guns, knives, other methods of intimidation) to get things. I do not own a gun but am not opposed to others exercising their rights, I would hate to see them used against me to take my things but I would never want the public to be without the option of having them. Who knows, I might just have to barter for one later.
