yes. Silver as well. \
and not so much confiscated, but laws put on the books that make and frame private ownership illegal...and frame this desire to privately own PM's as something unpatriotic, and "hurting the nation".
remember now, that the vast majority of our countrymen regard PM ownership as something "tin foil hat guys" do, its something "weird", that they cant understand the mindset of such, dont understand the diff between hard and soft money, thus artfully guided by TPTB to regard hard money advocates as "part of the problem".
think about it, most people carry plastic cards, very few FRN's and feel secure. It's insane.
you know it, i know it and we know it, but the vast majority of Americans would regard posts on this very forum, and the dealings of folks on this forum as "insane".
if history has shown us anything, its that they love to kill mavericks, and if you are a hard money devotee, you are way ahead of the curve, and you are a maverick.
so here's what i say: i dont own any silver, and anybody sez otherwise is a damn liar. i just like to TALK about owning silver, or copper or nickel. its just talk.
