Looks like some loons want to track your Ag and Au. From the bill, highlights are mine

Holy shit, is this for the children as well? Same shit they pulled in 1933.

oh, I don't think this is a political thread. Just information.

I have a hunk of pre-cambrian rock I got from down around Llano, TX. Will the government track that?

Hell, I even have quite a bit of Llanite. You know, the only rock out there to have blue quartz in it. Oh yeah, it also has a crushing strength of 37,800 lb/in^2. It will probably be classified as an NFA rock soon.

Trying to make a record so they can collect taxes on gains made on metal investments?

They already managed to make having gold illegal once before, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102 so it's probably not hard to do again if that was really what was going on.

Re: First guns, now Precisous Metals?

Does it really surprise you, even a little bit. This whole thing, includeing the gun bills, is about power. Money represents power, as do guns. If you want to find the source, follow the money. Look at who in the world REALLY controlls the money. Then youll know who is behind all of this. I could tell yuo in one word, but that would start another shit filled thread that has already been beaten to death.

Fixed it for you

Pretty soon a 5 dollar bill will be less valuable than a roll of TP. The TP won't miss as much and it feels better. The copper in the Penny is worth more than the Penny.

Re: First guns, now Precisous Metals?

To think that this is something that would even get any let alone serious consideration is actually frightening. What interest is it of anyone, let alone the government what I choose spend my money on. Moreover, why the specific interest in precious metals? Personally, I can't see the dollar lasting that much longer. A need for a new currency is obvious, so I guess it only follows that in such a situation the need for knowing who has accumulated caches of silver etc. would be particularly helpful. I can't help to wonder if water-boarding will be permitted in order to find out where the goodies are buried?
