You do know "they" want people to shoot each other dead, right? I'm just checking...
by Ray Pensador
...........
When conditions get sufficiently bad (due to increased austerity policies, which by the way, are being imposed on purpose), once you flood communities with guns, and once you put in place a regime of laws that expand the justification for justifiable homicides, then you've created the perfect conditions for people to start shooting at each other.
Once people start shooting and getting away with it, then the business cartels keep pushing more and more boiler-plate laws expanding the justification for more shootings.
Eventually this will bring about a situation where you will have mainly right wing groups across the country armed to the teeth, emboldened to intimidate social justice activists as the conditions deteriorate due to the imposition of austerity, i.e., purposely defunding the proper functioning of government (of the the people and by the people).
What's behind all this? That's also pretty straightforward. What these fascistic business cartels are doing is taking down the regulatory infrastructure, the social safety net, and etc., in order to eventually align labor costs to those of developing countries. Yes, folks, it's about money; it's about putting a fascist boot on your neck, figuratively and literally.
So there you have it. That's what's happening.

(11,304 posts)as soon as the people really and truly open our eyes and realize that corprations and politicans are ruining this country and they don't want us to wake up because then they know the jig is up. Holy hell will break out. You just can't keep pushing people on the left or the right before they wake up and smell the roses and unite. Corporations will be scared shitless.

(7,968 posts)Our system, including our education system, works to insure that people don't wake up. The whole thing is very deeply ingrained in our culture and class system. Corporate power continues to buy politicians (with a few exceptions). Neither the right nor the mainstream left is likely to see the truth. Wishes that electing "Obama" and other false gods make sure of that.

The choice then becomes "Which side are you on?".

(17,671 posts)keeping firearms in one's car at work fit into that description? One would think the powers that be would be very against disgruntled workers with guns.

I don't think the gun neatly falls on either side of a partisan line. If anything, it falls on either side of an economic line.
