Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

It's also odd - and frankly, hilarious - that the same dupes who spent seven years trying to terrify us with stories of invading muslim hordes, iranian nuclear weapons, and Al Qaeda terrorists (and that if you criticized the government of George Bush, you were a terrorist-enabler), now "suddenly" have decided that the duly elected american government, and those that voted for them are the "greatest threat".
My position is the same as it's always been. The confluence of corporate power, wall street bankers, and their bought and paid for politicians, are the most prominent threats to a functioning democratic nation. I've never considered a small band of islamic criminal thugs to be the most dire threat to the United States.

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

Agree completely. Add a confused populace and economic turmoil and you have the makings of bad times.
"The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy." Alex Carey
"What improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as an inconveniency to the whole. No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." Adam Smith 'The Wealth of Nations,' Book I Chapter VIII
