I was watching fox news and they said the reason why wall street is in debt is because middle class and poor class people were buying alot of stuff that they couldn't afford and they turned wall street bankrupt. So basically there blaming lower and middle class for bankrupting wall street? Sounds dumb to me.
Answer
IT IS DUMB !
Wall Street seems to have forgotten a simple economic fact.
Like the current recession, caused by Wall Street investment bankers who invented the synthetic building boom in the USA with their sub-prime mortgage system, knowing fully well this would at some time lead to a bust.
As a result the world's taxpayers were forced at ransom to bailout the whole financial system, or go down with it too !
Some choice .... So thanks Wall Street, and all the other financial centers who played along.
Thanks for starving the middle class of money to spend on consumer goods, while all the rich investors are getting richer every day.
Which is prolonging the recession, as reduced consumer spending means stagnation in our manufacturing and industry, loss of real jobs, far more poor people, and higher social costs for the government.
But to hell with all that, the sales of luxury goods are really booming, so what do you care ?

I legally carry a concealed handgun but am somewhat apprehensive?

Apprehensive because in someways I think the gov. is allowing the liscensing of concealed handguns in order to make confiscation easier. You know the old saying "registration, then confiscation". What's your opinion of this? Do you think there is a hidden agenda behind this?
Buckshot....yes I feel as though I can handle most things. However most criminals carry a gun, and a gun trumps any sort of handy fist work a guy may have. This aint the MATRIX.
Answer
You have good cause to be paranoid but you are far too narrowly focused in this instance. California has extremely tough requirements that stop all but a few civillians from obtaining a concealed weapon permit. It can be done, but in most instances it's an exhausting, pointless exercise which even if successful amounts to an almost zero sum gain. Some business persons in professions of risk such as jewelers or even some pharmaceutical sales reps, etc., can obtain special license but its rare.
Guns cannot be purchased in my state without following strict registration guidelines that include your personal information, a "cooling off period" and mandatory attendance of a gun safety class which includes legal and practical. Anyone who buys a gun legally in CA could, I suppose, be on this "roundup list" database. I own a gun therefore it's possible my name appears on their list. But I'm far more worried that some troglodyte will break into my house while I'm sleeping and gain access to my gun before I do. THAT'S far more likely, particularly for those areas of the US with lax regulations governing firearm purchases. Most civillian gun owners have never fired their handgun and have no idea how incredily stupid this is nor who dangerous.
All that aside--your federal government, under the watch of . . . . I can't say that puke's name . . . . the turd currently in the oval office, has been illegally spying upon ALL its citizens since shortly after he took office. NOOOO, not after 9/11, BEFORE. And from this continous tapping of phone calls and internet voyeurism collecteed vast amounts of personal information which continues even as I write this. Hmmmm . . . One can conclude a few things from this, but the straight line leads to a database. And what do governments do with databases? Anyone? Anyone? The Nazis had a fabulously intricate and efficient database on its people and it existed on paper since they did not have the luxury or speed of computer technology. As a citizen who actively participates in the process of democracy beyond voting, e.g., phone calls, letter, petitions and protests, beyond doubt my name is on numerous lists, or maybe just one list accessible by many at the top of the political heap. I'm not important, but I am a troublemaker, along with millions of my USA brothers and sisters.
USA spying on its people is nothing new. Herbert Hoover's lifelone obsession for maintaining personal data of all citizens but particularly his "enemies" info coupled with cold war paranoia and the unfortunate rise of McCarthy's star fueled last century's shameful witch hunt. Nixon lost his presidential ass for doing it, hopefully the same thing will happen to the puppet president and his puppet master. I'm working on it, anyway.
BUT DON'T BOTHER to worry about losing your gun. If it comes down to that, it will be on a scale so massive and organized and so quietly/quickly implemented that most of us won't see it coming. If you hear that knock on your door some day, it won't be from some guy in a suit with a piece of paper and a politely phrased request to turn over all your weapons and they won't be working off a list, it will be door-to-door.
Never underestimate the potential for fascism lying dormant in all political organizations, even our own "democratic" goverment.
