Clinton has a plan for national gun confiscation
// Personal Liberty Digest™
The National Rifle Association is warning that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will waste no time initiating a gun grab like nothing Americans have ever seen if she makes it to the Oval Office.
Clinton recently remark that Australian-style gun control is "worth considering" in the U.S., illustrating that the second Clinton in the presidency would be far to the left of the first when it comes to gun control. And that's bad news for 2nd Amendment advocates, considering the years it took to undo bill Clinton's "assault weapons ban."
"Australia is a good example, Canada is a good example, the U.K. is a good example. Why? Each of them had mass killings. Australia had a huge mass killing about 20-25 years ago, Canada did as well, so did the U.K. In reaction, they passed much stricter gun laws," said Clinton.
The former first lady hinted that a federal gun confiscation could take place under the guise of a buyback campaign similar to the Cash for Clunkers program that accompanied the U.S. auto industry bailout.
"I think it would be worth considering doing it on the national level, if that could be arranged. After the terrible 2008 financial crisis, one of the programs that President Obama was able to get in place was Cash for Clunkers. You remember that?" she asked. "It was partially a way to get people to buy new cars because we wanted more economic activity, and to get old models that were polluting too much, off the roads. So I think that's worth considering."
Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, said that this kind of talk makes it clear that there is no middle ground on gun for the Democratic establishment.
"This validates what the NRA has said all along. The real goal of gun control supporters is gun confiscation. Hillary Clinton, echoing President Obama's recent remarks on the same issue, made that very clear," Cox said.

Texas prepares for dollar collapse
// Personal Liberty Digest™
As foreign markets increasingly view the debt-ridden U.S. fiat currency system with skepticism, the nation is in real danger of running out of buyers for its debt. Some Texas lawmakers say that's why it's time for states to hedge their finances against U.S. economic collapse.
Foreign markets have currently already cut buying of U.S. debt by about $150 billion.
"If we don't have foreign buyers of our debt, that leaves the American public and the Federal Reserve, and that is a certain recipe for financial disaster," said Kevin Freeman, founder and chairman of the National Security Investment Consultant Institute.
While the U.S. is losing buyers for its mountains of debt, the Chinese are pushing to replace the dollar with the yuan as the world's default currency.
"When that happens the dollar will lose its status as the primary reserve currency, and if that happens or when that happens, it's going to be very hard for the U.S. to pay its bills," Freeman explained.
Total economic collapse is a very real possibility.
That's why Texas lawmakers have spent months working to create a legal, gold-backed currency that could insulate the state from a total meltdown of the national fiat system.
Texas, according to financial experts, is the only state in the U.S. that owns a stockpile of physical gold rather than investments in gold futures and mining operations. But the state's 5,600 bars of gold bullion are currently locked far away in the vault of a New York City bank.
For some Texans, like Republican state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, that's a problem in an era when the federal government is becoming increasingly powerful and national economic uncertainty is nearly constant.
That's why Capriglione authored legislation to construct a new Texas Bullion Depository and repatriate the bullion to the state.
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed the legislation into law earlier this summer and the state is currently taking the steps to set up its economic alternative, which could make it the financial hub of the nation in the event of a collapse.
In the meantime, Capriglione says he believes Texas' physical gold holdings will make the state a "commodities hub for the continent."
"I think we're just perfectly situated," he said.

Congressional Democrats, Hillary Clinton vow laws to weaken 2nd Amendment ‘absolutism’ [feedly]

Congressional Democrats, Hillary Clinton vow laws to weaken 2nd Amendment 'absolutism'
// Personal Liberty Digest™
A group of House Democrats on Thursday introduced a resolution to form a congressional committee dedicated to studying incidents of gun violence in the U.S.
Led by California Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Mike Thompson, House Democrats are saying gun violence in the U.S. deserves the same level of congressional attention as issues like the Benghazi attack and Planned Parenthood scandal have received from Republicans.
"This House Majority has created committees to bully Planned Parenthood and harass a presidential candidate, all the while allowing mass gun violence to go unchecked and unexamined on their watch," Thompson said in a statement. "There have been nearly 280 mass shootings since Newtown and Congress has done nothing. No votes have been cast. No bills have been debated. No proposals have even been considered. This Select Committee can change that."
Under the resolution, a 12-member bipartisan panel divided equally among Republicans and Democrats will be formed to investigate gun violence. The panel will focus specially on mass shootings. Panel members will also examine possible flaws in the nation's current gun background-check system and links between state gun laws and firearm violence.
Democrats in the Senate, meanwhile, are making their own renewed push for gun control legislation with a package of bills to expand background checks and laws that disallow certain people to purchase firearms legally.
On Wednesday, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton said the National Rifle Association's "absolutist" stance on gun rights makes the group more unreasonable than "the Iranians and communists."
"The NRA tries to keep gun owners — the ones who are members — really upset all the time so they can keep collecting their money, because they tell them they're the only thing that's going to stop the black helicopters from landing in the front yard and people's guns being seized," she said. "That's the argument they make. And it works with some people, and it has turned a lot of people into absolutists themselves."
Clinton made the anti-NRA remarks in calling for gun owners willing to accept a weaker 2nd Amendment in the name of safety to organize.
"The real answer to this, is for gun owners to form a different organization that supports the 2nd Amendment, supports their rights to own guns, use guns, go hunting, goes target shooting, but stands against the absolutism of the NRA," Clinton said.
"You know, the NRA's position reminds me of negotiating with the Iranians or the communists," she added.
If elected, Clinton is vowing to implement rules that would require background checks for virtually all gun sales or transfers via executive order.
