“Hey Mister, I’m hungry, will you buy some of my pretty gold bars? I take Visa or Mastercard.”
Bottom line is, those who have purchased the gold are for the most part the same people who have purchased the guns. So, to the commies in our government, good luck should you try to confiscate either.
There is a lot of discussion over at Kitco about this. People keep some of their stash in Switzerland and other places.
I don’t think outright confiscation of physical gold will happen. They’ll tax the transactions if they can and when they can as a lot of people invest in but never actually take possession of it. The ‘justification’ presented by FDR is non existent as well. The dollar is pure fiat paper at this point. Everything is being taxed and taken in greater amounts simultaneously.
“U.S. citizens complied in full”
Won’t happen nowadays. A larger percentage of people are more aware and the % that trust the federal gov’t is??????
