It is older than that. It has been talked about for over a year. They recently opened the Shanghai gold exchange. So far, gold sales brisk.

Another thing we have in common with the Commies: the Chinese government allows or disallows its citizens from owning gold----The US government allows(nixon)/disallows(FDR) its citizens from owning gold.

Personally, I think there is an equivalency between owning gold and keeping and bearing arms. I don't see how the government can legitimately infringe any free person's right to own either. But for part of my life, Americans could not own gold bullion. I was too young to care when that changed. But I would certainly care now if it changed back. And I would hope that if ever the US government for any reason tried to curtail the right of the American citizen to own gold, there would be a reaction not unlike that which would result if the US government suddenly decided to totally ban guns.

I would hope so too but owning gold is is pretty low if at all on the care list of most Americans. The screams of those who do know what it means to own bullion essentially would be a non-event.
