IMHO the only winner who might come out of this Mexican standoff will be the average American who really has the biggest stake at risk. Warren Buffet had a few things to say about it today that makes sense centering more of the worry about the outcome than the fallout of the outcome might be even if we go over the cliff.
From a political stance who wins might be important to their party but if nobody wins and we go over the cliff who's to say there might not be a big haystack or body of water to break our fall. We don't have a track record to clearly indicate what WILL happen only what the naysayers tell us might happen.
I wish all of the disgruntled folks who are on a gun buying frenzy had as much confidence in the overall welfare of the nation equally as emphatic as they do that guns are a solution to the gun problem.
I would like to see the BOR's amended, not to take away the right to keep and bear arms but, to modify it in a manner that concurs with what we all should realize it's original intent was. As for originally including the welfare of the nation strength militarily, well we can strike that anyway because Minutemen of today would be slaughtered like mowing down hay in August. How about every citizen who desires to keep a long gun and a sidearm should be guaranteed that privilege until such a time as they as individuals prove they are not reliable to keep and bear arms for the good of everyone else. The bad asses who then kept weapons and went on crime sprees would be in violation of our constitution and subject to healthy penalties for the offense. Hell, even a shyster lawyer could find a simpler way of amending it with the right tones so think what some of our geniouses who passed the bar might do with it.
Got a petition for re-amending amendments handy? I'll sign it.
