Go ahead and come for American's guns (mine included) and make the same mistake as the British in the past. Like I said, once the war with the Democrats begins, there will be no place that's safe for the Democrats (any Democrat) to live/go/visit in the entire country.
Gun laws work. Societies that have them have less violent crime and less gun violence. So, once most people in the USA agree with the conservative "liberals" that Einzige quoted, and not with the commies he quoted, then if you buy guns on the black market, we will keep taking them away from you no matter how long it takes. And clearly you have violent aims, so they should be taken away from YOU. We're a comin' fer youse guns, baby And if you violently rebel, it will be a lot easier to take your guns, because prisoners have a lot tougher time getting them.

Yes, because Democrats and Republicans are committed to the continued rule of capitalists.
More significantly, Clinton could have never predicted that the disappearance of competition and regulation in the financial sector would have led to financial shenanigans that would make the real estate frauds of the Double-Zero Decade and the Panic of 2008 a near certainty... except if he knew about the generational theory.
Capitalists are at their worst not so much when they are cruel, but instead when they are reckless.
Blunders must first seduce. Retail banking, investment banking, and insurance must be separated due to the conflicts of interests that arise from any sharing of activity. For good reason we separate medicine, pharmacy, and undertaking even though they share end-of-life concerns. Maybe to be precise one does not want physicians profiting from the sale of medicines or dealing in funeral services, pharmacists doing medicine or dealing in the mortuary business, or morticians dealing with issues of health of the people not under their care as cadavers or ashes.
