Rahm Emanuel presses banks on guns
At this rate, by the end of Obama term gun owners will be required to wear a 'Symbol' while in public, will be required to ride in the back of the bus, have separate rest rooms, etc...etc..etc.
Quote:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, moving to take a lead role in the gun control debate, is turning up the pressure on banks that do business with firearms manufacturers.
Emanuel is sending letters to two major financial institutions, TD Bank and Bank of America, which offer lines of credit to gun makers suggesting that they stop lending money to the manufacturers if they don’t come out for new gun restrictions.

If guns were never invented, and all we had were swords, they'd be trying to confiscate the swords. Power and control.

You forgot the pink font.
An action like this with no means of actually forcing a private lending corporation to do what is suggested - unless the businesses decide to do it themselves as a business advantage, of course - is a patently obvious political stunt to give the 'perception' to the voters that their elected officials 'care.' Such is politics and everybody understands it.
However, to hyperbolically offer such a patently shallow action as a foreboding of our somehow emulating Nazi Germany's treatment of Unerwünschten or returning to a pre-Civil Rights era America is silly and, IMO, as equally counter-productive in the minds of thinking people seriously concerned with the on-going issues related to our right to bear arms.

The Rwanda example has been brought up elsewhere... Swords, according to this data set, was only 0.1%

Same song, different dance...imo
You have a group of people demonizing another group of people for no other reason than they belong to a particular segment of society with the sole intent of causing them harm.

They've already got the press in their pockets to mislead the mindless. Can you imagine how mercilessly they'll be grilled on this episode?
http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/01/25/obama-secretary-clinton-to-hold-first-joint-interview-on-60-minutes/
WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will hold their first joint interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
Steve Kroft will sit down with Obama and Clinton today at the White House for an interview to be aired on Sunday.
The interview comes after Clinton was grilled on Capitol Hill over the Benghazi terror attack on the U.S. Consulate that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans last September.
Speculation is also rampant that Clinton will run for president in 2016 despite her stating numerous times that she won’t.
According to a “60 Minutes” press release, this is the first joint interview the president has done with anyone other than First Lady Michelle Obama.
The president last appeared on “60 Minutes” in September, two months before winning re-election.
“60 Minutes” can be heard in its entirety on All-News 99.1 WNEW at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Thanks; all I need to know. I'll be doing something else.
Dumpling-size (German ones) softballs; great with your favorite cutlet and a gravy, not too light, not too heavy.

Confusing? I believe it is calling for what it is and there is no reason to beat around the bush.
Quotes from Eric Holder
Quote:
" What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we’ve changed our attitudes about cigarettes. You know, when I was growing up, people smoked all the time. Both my parents did. But over time, we changed the way that people thought about smoking, so now we have people who cower outside of buildings and kind of smoke in private and don’t want to admit it.”
|
or this
Quote:
"We need to do this every day of the week and just really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."
|
How about marking the doors of gun permit holders....
