Is Trump Right About Another Financial Collapse?

“Remember the word “bubble”, you heard it here first...”
Donald Trump, December 19th 2015.


Love him or hate him there is one thing nobody can deny:
Donald Trump knows a lot about the US economy!

He is part of the top 1% running this country
and has built a multi-billion dollar fortune.

So is the Republican front-runner full of hot air again?

Or is this a slip of the tongue from somebody who knows more than he is willing to share with the rest of us?

THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION WILL 
SHOCK EVEN HARDCORE LIBERALS.
Here what Trump had to say about this “bubble” on December 19th 2015.
“We could be in bubble and that bubble could crash and it's not going to be a pretty picture. You know the market is going down big league the last couple of weeks. But we could be in a big fat bubble and if thatbubble crashes it's a problem. The word bubble, remember the word bubble... you heard it here first... I don't want to sound rude but I hope that if it explodes it's going to explode now rather than 2 months into another administration.”
If you too are feeling scared or confused, than this presentation will shed light on what's really happening right now.
If give me just 10 minutes of your time,
I promise that by the end of this short video you will understand more about the economy than many Harvard graduates.
My name is Charles Hayek and I am a retired economics Professor.
For most of my life I have studied macroeconomics and the cycles of boom and bust in the global economy.
In my research I have uncovered a strange pattern that has been going on for the past 20 years.
A BIZARRE ECONOMIC CYCLE INTIMATELY LINKED TO EVERY US ELECTION SINCE THEN.
Right now, I will show you the hard facts that lead me to this conclusion in plain and simple English
So that by the end of this video you can make your own choice
And be better prepared for what's to come.
But to understand how this bizarre pattern works, we need to take a short look back at 1999.
It seemed like a totally different America than the one we are living in today.
The stock market was booming thanks to the internet companies, affectionately called “the dot coms”.
For many Americans, investing in the internet companies seemed like the quickest way to become rich.

More and more people put their savings into the stock market driving it higher and higher.
They gambled their money on the hope that they could sell these stocks for 2 to 3 times their value.
And everybody was praising the Clinton administration for creating the biggest economic growth in US history.
FOR A TIME IT WORKED.
TO MANY, IT SEEMED LIKE THE PARTY WOULD NEVER END.
Even the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan said:
“Technology is creating a new economy, one where the old rules no longer applied”.

The FED was so confident that in February 2000 it began raising the interest rates to their highest level since 1995.
At the same time, bad economic data started to come in.
The previous holiday season that was supposed to bring big profits to internet based companies was a major disappointment.
And it was not just online shopping... ordinary Americans bought less and consumption was dropping.
While the nation was preparing the next election, the house of cards built around the stock market started to collapse.
ON THE 12TH OF APRIL 2000, THE NASDAQ DROPPED BY 386 POINTS.
It was the largest drop ever recorded and by the end of the next week, Wall Street had lost almost a quarter of its value.
The long economic boom of the late 90s became a gigantic bust.
Bush was entering at a time when the NASDAQ had lost 60% of its value, erasing 7 trillion dollars of American wealth.
Clinton's economy grew on the back of the dot com bubble. And now, everybody was looking to Bush to get the economy going again.
But before going any further, let's take a short step back and see what we can learn from this:
An economic bubble grows around an asset that becomes very attractive to investors.
In the 90s this asset was the internet company stock.
Greed attracts more and more people who gamble their money hoping that prices will go up and they will sell for a profit later.
When people are blinded by the bubble they think that growth will never end.
This delusion is fueled by the media, economic experts and even the FED.
At this point something very interesting happened: as the economy showed signs of slowing down the FED raised the interest rate.
And, curiously, some months before the next US election, the bubble bursts crating massive economic pain.
We now have a theory that we can put to the test:
  • A bubble emerges and grows on low interest rates.
  • Investors and speculators are “all in” as the experts say everything is fine and growth will continue.
  • The FED raises interest rates before the next Presidential election.
  • The economy begins to slow down.
  • The bubble bursts and the next President has to deal with the aftermath.
IF THIS SOUNDS CRAZY TO YOU RIGHT NOW, LET'S PUT THE THEORY TO THE TEST.


Before the 2008 election another bubble burst.
The asset this time was houses.
The Federal Reserve had cut interest rates from 6% in 2001 to 1% in 2003.
Rock bottom interest rates created a huge demand for mortgages as they were cheaper to pay off. Everybody wanted a house and that pushed prices up. You could get rich just by becoming a homeowner as the price kept going up!
Soon, even people who could not afford to make a down payment or could not provide proof of a steady income and collateral were given loans to purchase new homes.
If these people defaulted on their payments, the bankers didn't care. They would be left with the house, an asset that was rising in price. These no down payment, no collateral mortgage loans called subprime mortgages were given to millions of low income families.
Now, the bankers had a brilliant idea... bundle up the normal mortgages with the subprime ones and sell them to other banks, pension funds, hedge funds and sovereign funds. Mortgage payments generated huge profits and demand was high for this new type of speculative contract now called Collateralized Debt Obligations or CDO's. No one thought a mass default on mortgage payments was possible.
Banks Big and small gambled on CDOs thinking that prices will continue to rise.
HIGH PROFITS, LOW RISK... CDOS PRACTICALLY SOLD THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE HOUSING MARKET COULD NEVER COLLAPSE...
This created the housing bubble.
The experts appeared all over mainstream news assuring everyone that housing was not a bubble.

The Federal Reserve now started to increase interest rates.
By 2007 the interest rates had reached 5.25% and many families with subprime mortgages could not afford to make the monthly payments and their homes were foreclosed. As more and more houses went up for sale, the prices started dropping. Consumption plummeted. A new crisis had begun. At it would reach its peak in fall 2008, right before the elections.
House prices tanked. Banks and other investment funds found that their bulletproof, high profit CDOs became worthless. No one wanted to buy CDOs or houses anymore. It was a financial bloodbath.
The banking giant Lehman Brothers had bet on mortgages and was left holding assets nobody wanted anymore. On the 15th of September it filed for bankruptcy. During November 2008, Americans lost more than a quarter of their collective net worth. U.S. stocks were down by 45% from its 2007 high. Housing prices had dropped 20% from their 2006 peak. Total US household wealth went down by $14 trillion.
Through the banking giants Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan and Goldman Sacks, the big traders of CDOs the crisis had spread to the world
... and now stocks and property values plummeted everywhere. The economy of the world entered a deep recession.
All this happened as our nation was preparing to choose its 44th President. The housing bubble burst 2 months before the election.
SO HOW DOES OUR THEORY STAND:
  • We have a new housing and subprime mortgage bubble created by low interest rates. Many Americans thought housing was a secure investment. The banks gambled huge sums of money on CDOs.
  • The “experts”, again, said everything was fine.
  • The economy started to weaken in late 2007.
  • The Fed increased the interest rates.
  • The bubble violently burst just as Americans were preparing to vote the 44th President of the United States.
Everything that happened in 2000 happened again in 2008.
Only this time the bubble was bigger and the damage was global and massive.
The theory is proven correct.
So... what about right now?
There is an election coming this November.
WILL THERE BE ANOTHER ECONOMIC CRISIS?
Well... in December 2015 the Fed started to increase interest rates. For the past 5 years the rate has been close to 0%.
Another rate hike is expected in January and in February.
The economy is already showing signs of stress:
Right now, the Bloomberg Commodity Index hit a 16 year low. The last time this happened was August 2008. Commodities represent all the goods being traded around the world, everything from oil to coffee, sugar, steel and copper. When their price slumps it signals a slowdown in the world economy.
Oil is reaching its 2008 low point.
The last time the price of oil was this low, the global financial system was melting down.  It's happening again. And this time it will hit the US economy much harder because of the “shale miracle”.
CNBC's Jim Cramer is warning that many US oil companies will become bankrupt if the price of oil remains this low.
The price of copper too has plunged all the way down to $2. The last time it was this low was just before the stock market crash of 2008.
Corporate debt defaults have risen to the highest level that we have seen since the last recession. 
Consumption is slowing down: In October, U.S. imports of goods declined by 6.6 percent on a year over year basis. U.S. exports of goods declined by 10.4 percent on a year over year basis. 2015 was the worst year for holiday spending since 2008.
U.S. manufacturing is contracting at the fastest pace that we have seen since the last recession.
If just one or two of these indicators were flashing red, that would be bad enough.
The fact that all of them seem to be saying the exact same thing tells us that big trouble is ahead.
Facing all of this negative data the experts claim everything is fine.
Obama said in his State of the union that the economy is fixed.
John G. Stumpf, CEO of Wells Fargo: “The Economy is fundamentally strong [...] Housing is booming, technology is booming, commercial real estate is booming.
Michael Bloomberg: “In all fairness to Obama during the last few years jobs have been created and the jobless rate is way down.
Lloyd Blankfine, CEO of Goldman Sacks: “The United states is growing as a trend 2.5% - 3% trend growth.
FOLLOWING OUR CHECKLIST WE HAVE:
  • An election year;
  • An economy showing real weakness
  • The FED raising interest rates;
  • The experts saying everything is fine

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WORLD'S BIGGEST AND MOST DANGEROUS CASINO:
It's called the derivatives market and right now the total net worth of all outstanding derivatives contracts is a staggering 552.9 trillion dollars according to the Bank for International Settlements.
552.9 TRILLION DOLLARS.
Let that number sink in for a moment!
Total US debt right now stands close to 19 trillion and most Americans find that shocking. But very few have any idea of how big this financial market is. The entire economy of the world in REAL goods and services is evaluated at around $78 trillion annually... the derivative market is 7 times the value of every good and every service provided around the world in an entire year. At first, I thought this number was too big to be real. But, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Independent Bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury confirms it.
Feel free to check these numbers once the presentation is done and you will find that they are 100% accurate.
Make no mistake, you are looking at the biggest bubble in the history of mankind. Something 7 times greater than the entire economy of the world.
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A DERIVATIVE?
A derivative is a speculative contract, a bet placed on stocks, mortgages, interest rates, the price of commodities like gold, silver, coffee, oil or the possibility of a company or even a nation to default... basically, right now, there is nothing of economic worth that does not have some sort of derivative attached to it. All derivatives are bets
This is not a metaphor, an analogy, or a generalization. The players on the derivative market gamble trillions on the future price of the asset to which the derivative is attached to.
Warren Buffett once referred to derivatives as “financial weapons of mass destruction“. And he was proven right.
The CDOs that lead to the crash of 2008 were derivatives as they drew their value form interest payments on mortgages and housing prices. They were traded on this market just like all the other derivatives. And they were just a tiny part of the market. In 2008 there were about $500 billion worth of CDOs. That was only a very tiny fraction of the derivatives market. Yet it was enough to almost collapse the economy of the world.
Remember how I said that this is the world's largest casino?
In a nutshell, the derivatives market or more correctly put, the derivatives casino is where Big Banks and other financial institutions place their bets on every aspect of the world economy.


YET WITH THESE BETS, EVERYBODY LOSES.
So how much did the Big US banks bet on derivatives?
Well, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has the exact numbers:
Citigroup
Total Assets: $1,808,356,000,000 (more than 1.8 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $53,042,993,000,000 (more than 53 trillion dollars)
JPMorgan Chase
Total Assets: $2,417,121,000,000 (about 2.4 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $51,352,846,000,000 (more than 51 trillion dollars)
Goldman Sachs
Total Assets: $880,607,000,000 (less than a trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $51,148,095,000,000 (more than 51 trillion dollars)
Bank Of America
Total Assets: $2,154,342,000,000 (a little bit more than 2.1 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $45,243,755,000,000 (more than 45 trillion dollars)
Morgan Stanley
Total Assets: $834,113,000,000 (less than a trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $31,054,323,000,000 (more than 31 trillion dollars)
OVERALL, THE BIGGEST U.S. BANKS COLLECTIVELY HAVE MORE THAN 247 TRILLION DOLLARS OF EXPOSURE TO DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS.
That is an amount of money that is more than 13 times the size of the U.S. national debt, and it is a ticking time bomb that could set off financial Armageddon at any moment. This is gambling on the future of the world economy on an unprecedented scale. And just like every other bubble before it, the Too Big to Fail Derivatives Bubble will burst. This is proven economic theory.
The bubble to end all bubbles... because of its sheer size. It's inflated to a size far greater than the Dot Com bubble and the mortgage/CDO bubble combined.
This is the final piece of the puzzle.
The Fed interest rate hike, the experts claiming everything is ok, the real economy slowing down and the bubble that has inflated to an unsustainable size.
If history repeats itself, 2016 will be the year big banks come crashing down.
And the FED and our government are totally powerless to stop them. Their safety net is made out of straws. It took extraordinary efforts to prop up the big banks in 2008.
During Obama's presidency, the US debt doubled reaching almost $19 trillion yet the economy grew at a modest pace of 2% per year. Compare that to the doubling of the derivatives market and you begin to realize the level of economic pain we are about to feel. This will make the Great Depression of the ‘30s and the Great Recession of 2008 feel like a picnic.
SO WHAT WOULD A CRASH LOOK LIKE?
You need only to picture what happened in Greece to get an idea:
The first thing that happened is that all the banks closed. The only way people could get their money out was with ATM withdraws. And they were limited to 60 euros/day. That's about $63. Ask yourself this: if the banks close in the US could you live with 63$ per day? Immediately, huge lines formed in front of ATMs. People waited in the scorching heat for hours to get a tiny fraction of their savings and deposits out.
In numbers, according to a recent report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 17% of the Greek population is currently unable to meet their daily needs for food. Approximately 30% are living below the poverty line.
The official unemployment rate is 27%, 52% of under-25s.
In Athens, Greece's capital one of these is 53-year-old Athenian Vassilis Dimopoulos, who used to earn up to 3,000 euros per month until his employer folded in 2008. “I sold my home in 2007, though the small profit I made is now gone. I was on the streets for six months,” he said. Now Dimopoulos lives in a Red Cross hostel, selling Athens's street paper “Schedia”.
Jenny Varvagianni, an Athens public official, claims that the capital of Greece and other urban centers have been pushed beyond a socio-economic crisis into a humanitarian crisis. “What's bringing us to our knees are the people who had jobs, had their lives in order, were supporting their families, educating their kids... Regular, middle-class couples who lost both, or maybe just one job, and are now on the brink. Many have had water or electricity cut off or face eviction at any moment because they've fallen so far behind with their rent or mortgage,” she said, “People's pay and pensions have been cut, everyone is more and more squeezed.”
DIONYSSIA MICHAELIDOU, Retiree: I have no insurance. I have no pension. I have nothing.
Today, as many as 15,000 Athenians can be classified as homeless. Most homeless are men, half of them non-Greeks. 60% of them are addicted to alcohol or drugs and two thirds have physical or mental health issues.
The budget for Greece's 132 hospitals was $735 million before the economic crisis. This year, that number dropped to $50 million.
THEO GIANNAROS, Director, Elpis Hospital: With this problem, the next months, even the insured people aren't going to have the proper treatment. So, if we don't have any money, our treatments are going to be aspirins, or red peppers, like in Africa. What is happening here is a crime against humanity. Here, some thousands are going to die or died already.
the deepening poverty has led to an increase in suicides and preventable deaths. Since the crisis, suicides have increased by roughly 50 percent.
EMMY CHRISTOULAS, Daughter of Suicide Victim: “If one Greek was to take up a Kalashnikov, I would be the second. I find no other solution than that of a dignified exit before I begin searching through the garbage for my food. I believe that, one day, because the younger generation has no future, they will take up arms and hang the traitors of the nation.”
The collapsing medical system, like the increase in suicides, are both symptoms of the impact of the crisis on Greece.
KEEP IN MIND THAT GREECE RECEIVED BAILOUTS IN 2015 AND YET THIS IS THE SITUATION THERE. WHO WILL BE ABLE TO BAIL OUT THE WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMY?
No one. The crisis brought by the collapse of the too Big to Fail Banks will be global and it will dwarf anything the world has ever seen. Personally I expect that everything that happened in Greece will happen in the US but on a much greater scale. And the impacts will be far worse.
I have studied economic for the past 35 years. I have seen it go through good times and I have studied the bad ones. I went through the numbers over and over again thinking this is not real, thinking I had made a mistake somewhere. But many other economic experts say the same thing. The same experts who warned us about the crisis coming in 2008 are all sounding the alarm bells. Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente, Mark Faber and many others are predicting a disaster for 2016.
To be completely honest with you am I afraid for my future and the future of my family. I knew I had to do something to prepare for the worst.

I WANT TO HELP AS MANY
PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO
SURVIVE THE COMING
FINANCIAL COLLAPSE!

Trumpians Coming Out of the Closet



The revolution is well underway in America born out of the belief that Americans and one particular Presidential candidate can Make America Great Again.

WASHINGTON - June 20, 2016 - Bruce Goldwell is an independent author and during the 2016 election cycle an outspoken supporter of Donald J. Trump.  He is also a Vietnam Veteran who gave 6 years of his life in the service of this country.  Along with millions of other Americans, Bruce believes that We The People with a President Donald J.Trump can Make America Great Again.  This belief is not just surface makeup but rather deeply rooted in the core of the hearts and minds of those that support Trump.

Bruce refers to those supporting Donald Trump as "Trumpians" and the belief that We The People plus a President Donald Trump can Make America Great Again as "Trumpianity".  Already, 14 million Americans have come out of the closet and declared their Trumpianity not just to America but to the world. Goldwell is sure that tens of millions more people will convert from Sanders and Clinton supporters to become Trumpians. This has already begun to happen as supporters of Bernie Sanders declare their commitment to vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the General Election.

He points out that Trumpians are made up of people from all races; Blacks, Whites, Asians, Mexicans and others.  Also, Trumpians include people from all the major religious groups; Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhist and others. Trumpianty goes further than what a campaign slogan says. It is a deep seated conviction that the American people and President Trump can turn the tide and save America from its current path of destruction.  Americans that believe America is under siege and American freedoms are in jeopardy have become the first to become Trumpians working to help make Donald J. Trump a President Donald J. Trump.

Goldwell believes that having an identity other than republican, democrat or independent will help Unite people which is an important key to successfully have Donald Trump win the General Election then begin the process to Make America Great Again.

Goldwell states, "For those that are undecided as to whom to vote for in November, we call on you to join us Trumpians and commit in your mind to vote for Donald Trump.  We invite Bernie Sanders supporters to take the energy you have had for Bernie and get behind Trump and help to Make America Great Again.  This is the United States of America and we can all be united in making America the kind of place where everyone of any race, religion, sex or ethnic background can achieve their goals and dreams. We can unite as Trumpians and make Trumpianty the new identity for disenfranchised Republicans, Democrats, Independents and others.  There is no place for bigotry, sexism, racism or anyone other ism other than Trumpism: the deep seated belief that We The People with President Donald J. Trump can and will Make America Great Again."

Bruce has a Facebook page where he post images he has created and shares post from others for all those that have Liked this page.  To become part of Goldwell's following and help support Donald J. Trump visit: https://www.facebook.com/TrumpPoweredbyWeThePeople/

Dear Conan O’Brien Samantha Bee Stephen Colbert Trevor Noah Jimmy Fallon



Dear Conan O’Brien, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah & Jimmy Fallon

Why do American people need semi-automatic weapons and/or semi-automatic guns, etc?

Please, allow "We The People" to educate you as you must have missed a few history and civics classes as well as other classes related to this issue. Or, you were simply educated by biased Liberal educators.

First.. let's review a little Constitutional History...

This Constitutional amendment was ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, then-Secretary of State: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."  See 2nd Amendment for complete clause.

We The People have a right to have a well regulated militia.

You know those groups that are prepared and preparing to defend their friends and neighbors from enemies both foreign and domestic. Not all enemies of We The People are terrorist wishing to do Americans harm. There are currently those in this government whom would like to take complete control of We The People (and you yourself are attempting unwittingly to help them) and define how we can live, where we can live and what we can or can't have in our lives.

Example: The Mayor of New York

The very oath that those entering military service take also includes the words, "... against all enemies both foreign and domestic."

Seems pretty simple thus far right.

Well, at least for people that have open minds and believe what the Constitution says and what it represents for the preservation of individual freedoms in America.

"For the security of a free State!"

Apparently, without a well regulated militia, some of the founding Fathers and others during those first moments of the birth of the United States understood that without a well regulated militia that the security of "the free state" would be in danger of being lost.

You might ask yourself, "who were they fearful of that could put the freedom of the state in jeopardy of being lost thus the need to guaranteed that militias and the people be armed without infringement."
 
The right of "the people"... not the government nor politicians nor just those in power at any given moment in time but THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. It doesn't specify what kind of arms, just ARMS and they go even further to say SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Does it confuse you on this issue suggesting that the rights of THE PEOPLE should NOT be INFRINGED?

Let's ask President Obama what he thinks about citizens having assault weapons. What was it he said?

We're sending assault weapons to the rebels (militia/citizens) in Syria to confront a regime that does not represent them.

That's right! Obama believes that the people need assault weapons to defend themselves from those (the people in power) that are oppressing them and not representing the people.

Let's just change a little wording so as to take Obama's belief in the need for rebels (citizen militias) to have assault weapons as is referenced in our Constitution.

We allow assault weapons to be in the hands of Americans (militia/citizens) to enable them to defend themselves from any regime, current or future, that does not represent THE PEOPLE.

Thank you Mr. Obama for supporting the Constitution of the United States. We The People thank you for your endorsement as to why the Constitution has the words, " ....well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a "free state", the right of "the people" to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Second.. what occurs shortly after THE PEOPLE are disarmed?

Historical, things don't go well for citizens that are disarmed.

1911 Turkey Disarms
1915-1917 1.5 million citizens murdered

1929 Russian Disarms
1929-1953 20 million citizens slaughtered

1935 China Disarms
1948-1952 20 million citizens murdered

1938 Germany Disarms
1939-1945 16 million Jewish people massacred

1956 Cambodia Disarms
1975-1977 1 million people killed

1970 Uganda Disarms
1971-1979 300,000 Christians murdered

Currently:

People are being slaughtered in Countries in Africa both Christians, Muslims and others.

France and other European countries have citizens being murdered at work and in restaurants etc.

America has people being murdered in night clubs, movie theaters and specifically in GUN FREE ZONES being easy targets for murderers and Islamic Jihadist.

No need to go on with what is currently happening as it is all over the news (well the parts the news wants to expose) and with little censorship in social media.

SO YOU WANT TO INFRINGE ON THE RIGHT OF WE THE PEOPLE to have semi-automatic weapons and semi-automatic guns because you believe that people "without" guns are more safe than those with guns.

Well, allow WE THE PEOPLE to point out to you that there is a country that requires all if it's citizens to be trained in the use of guns and to own guns and that country has the least amount of gun related murders etc of any country.

You may or may not be aware of this so let WE THE PEOPLE inform you a bit. The country is Switzerland.

"Even though Switzerland has not been involved in an armed conflict since a standoff between Catholics and Protestants in 1847, the Swiss are very serious not only about their right to own weapons but also to carry them around in public. Because of this general acceptance and even pride in gun ownership, nobody bats an eye at the sight of a civilian riding a bus, bike or motorcycle to the shooting range, with a rifle slung across the shoulder."(Reference: The Swiss Difference: A Gun Culture That Works By Helena Bachmann / Geneva)

Of course you are well informed (being talk show) host about where the highest murder rates are in the USA. We The People could be wrong about what you are privy to so let us point those cities out to you.

ALL CITIES THAT HAVE STRICT GUN CONTROL LAWS INFRINGING ON THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS THUS CREATING THE SITUATION OF THREATENING THE FREE STATE AND LIVES OF THOSE LIVING THERE HAVE THE HIGHEST MURDER RATES.

We The People are aware that you as talk show host as well as the Mainstream media will not educated your viewers and others as to the reasoning behind citizens being armed without infringement.

We The People understand that you are part of the propaganda arm to convince citizens that it is reasonable to disarm citizens preventing their ability to defend and maintain the security of the free state leaving all citizens to be at the mercy of traitors, murderers and tyrants.

It is ludicrous to believe that the government, the State or local law enforcement officials can defend citizens against enemies foreign or domestic. Proof of that is exposed by the current murder of 49 innocent people in Orlando and attempted murder of 53 others. Neither local, State or Federal agencies or law enforcement of any kind were able to prevent the horrible slaughter.

No one in the Orlando night club had a gun and apparently not even anyone in security at the club. It was also a GUN FREE ZONE. The Islamic Jihadist must have forgot to read the sign.

Law abiding citizens should be allowed to exercise their right to own and bear arms and the infringement of that right causes deaths. Evil and conspiring people, traitors and tyrants enjoy a citizenry without the ability to defend themselves. States and local governments as well as community organizations put their citizens at risk by infringing on the 2nd Amendment Right of "the people."

Going after guns (semi-automatic or not) will not make citizens safer. It will only put them more at risk and any politician that pushes to disarm THE PEOPLE is guilty of tyranny. No one gets to sit on the fence. When the enemies of the state appear with their guns (bought legally or on the black market) and point them at unarmed citizens, those that disarmed the people are the ones that will have blood on their hands.

Either every law abiding citizen that wants to arm themselves can (or everyone as in Switzerland)  or no one can have a gun. Unless you can guarantee that no person has access to a gun, knife, bomb or other deadly instrument that can be used to kill "the people", the right of "the people" to bear arms must be maintained allowing them the ability to defend themselves against unwarranted deadly attack as well as the preservation of the security of the free state.

You asked the question, "why should citizens be allowed to own semi-automatic weapons".

We The People have given you a reasonable and very specific explanation as to why. To push an agenda that is contrary to what the Constitution guarantees is to be a part of the tyrannical agenda that will put "the people" and free state at risk.

We The People will be watching.
