Obama Suggests US Needs Ban On Semiautomatic, Automatic Weapons

[Sousuke 1,214]

I am sure that every day the President of the United States of America gets out of bed and thinks of something he can do or say just to upset half a dozen of the same people here on VJ. You gotta give it to him! Well done Mr. President!

Really, I'm glad he and others have come out with their true intentions. Its easier to fight a non moving goal post.

If I really want to make a dent in the homicide rate what would be the #1 weapon to ban?? Hmmm.. That *is* a tough question.

Wasn't the economy bubble supposed to burst? What happened man, I thought you had it figured out.

Wow, now I'm going to make you look really stupid. Pasted below is what I said and the dates:

Dec 29, 2013:

Ya'll are delusional. This will not last. It is a textbook bubble, an artificially inflated market that will come crashing down. Now before you call me a naysayer let me clarify something: I'm not one of those who for the last 5 years have been expecting a bear market. Actually, I managed to call the top of 2007 and bottom of 2009 and have been telling many people in this very forum in public and private that for the next few months(and that was a couple of months ago) all is still ok. BUT, if you think it will continue like this you are sadly mistaken. 2008 will look like a walk in the park. And it will begin within the next year or so. Good luck.

Dec 30, 2013:

Like I said, for now, no risk. It is not going to drop 20% tomorrow. Stay in the market if you want. And chances are I won't be able to call the top the day it happens. But not too long afterwards. I will definitely update when I think it has topped...But unlike some people, I don't try to beat the market to it. I follow it.

Feb 4, 2014:

It is not certain yet that this is the end, which is why I have not commented on it so far. The market is due for a bounce, soon. What the bounce looks like will shape my opinion if this is the end or it has a little more to go first.

Feb 9, 2014:

Well, so far we have gotten the bounce I was expecting, from 1740 when it was written to almost 1800 today. BUT! Don't hold your breath. Now is test time - go above 1810 and you're good. Turn back down which is what I think will happen and we will have a nice little meeting with 1600.

Take a look at a chart - I said over 1810 they are good on Feb 9 - 2 days later the S&P did that, and never went under it since - BINGO! Yes, I expect the market to crash but I let it speak first. I FOLLOW it, I don't expect it to follow me. And not just any crash, a 80% wipe out, ok? But first I have to see actual signs for that, and as long as I don't see them I'm not shorting the market nor do I expect anyone else to. I've been saying this same thing for the last two years - and so far the market has skyrocketed so I'm on the right side for now. And in due time - I will make that switch when it is time. But anyway for now...new important point is 1750 in the S&P. As long as they remain above it - they are still doing ok. Break it and We'll talk.

My record speaks for itself. Really, I have nothing to prove to closed minded people such as you. But rest assured, even though you do not deserve it, when I actually think it is time, I will make sure you know it. Until then, stay on topic...the foresight that the fathers had to realize that it is never a given that no tyrants will try to run the US is remarkable. Guns are a right and anyone who fails to see that should try living in one of those countries where guns weren't allowed and people couldn't defend themselves from the tyranny they now have.

Again, they should have made tin foil a right. An obligation, really. It would help some folks out greatly.

Sounds good to me. When do we start?

[Karee 4,190]

Sounds good to me. When do we start?

As soon as the supreme court rules that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to those weapons or an amendment to the constitution is ratified. I'm thinking 2035 or maybe a little later.
