Yeah but do they know which end the bullets come out?

[perchprism]

The GS banksters feel a bit uneasy at rewarding themselves millions in bonuses with taxpayer money.

[oldvike]

I thought it was illegal for criminals to own guns.

[familyop]

Yep. We're catching on.

From Going Great Guns, (Forbes, David Serchuk, 04.23.09, 04:00 PM EDT)

"Forbes: I was in Colorado, and I knew people who had 200, 300 guns. And they'd stash them in various hidden places around their compound. This wasn't all that uncommon out west."

One fair to middlin' firearm with accessories and enough ammo to train moderately for a couple of years can easily cost a couple thousand dollars. Imagine the costs of doing that with hundreds of firearms.

[familyop]

Oh...and the mention of “costs” and “ammo” was with handloading in mind. ...much more for store-bought ammo these days.

This is the second or so time I've followed a link here on FR to the a**-hat Taibibis' ravings.
Personally, IMO, he is not the kind of bottom-scum I prefer to read.
Just my $0.02s' worth.

Yeah. We don’t like to give hits to radical liberal sites, so here’s the link to the original Bloomberg article. Where there’s lots of money, there’s always conservatism and patriotism. ...right? ;-)

This is interesting. 1st, most of the violent protestors @ various Econ summits are leftist loons, so we could assume these types maybe behind such threats or preceived threats again. 2nd, GS is in NY correct? That ought to be fun getting a CCW their. 3rd, has to be an internal struggle for many, my guess is many are pro-gun control since GS is known to a firm with a high concentration of Jewish Americans. Could there also be the Euro “boss-napping” going on here and threats of that popping up it’s ugly head here on our shores? Anyway you look at this, it is further indications of the wheels coming off the bus in our Obaminated world...

If these welfare queens have money for weapons then they cleary do not need welfare. Cut them off from the trough.

[FReepaholic]

...Goldman people have loaded up on firearms and are now equipped to defend themselves if there is a populist uprising against the bank...

There are a helluva lot more of us than there are of them. Plus, we know how to shoot.

[snowsislander]

My plaudits to the folks at Goldman Sachs who are exercising their Second Amendment rights — if I might add my own recommendation, I would suggest that they also join the NRA and GOA to help defend the gun rights of all Americans.

The NRA number is 1-877-NRA-2000; the GOA can be reached at 1-703-321-8585.

I clashed with a business can do no wrong freeper a while back. I explain to him that the anger in this country is so great that the banker’s body guards would run out of ammo and the mob will climb over the dead bodies and storm the compound. The guards would be torn to pieces and the banker and his family would be next. Alarmed by my writing he claimed that I advocated violence against a group of innocent Americans and I will be reported to the FR monitor. Finally someone in the MSM is broching the subject. I guess he/she is also alluding to violence against an innocent group of Americans.

[BobL]

I assume those people in New York don’t have very high hopes of getting their permits approved.

[silverleaf]

Goldman versus ACORN.

Yippy Kai Yay

They could sell that on pay-per-view

[sergeantdave]

Good character is what saves you from the wrath of a populist uprising, something crooked New York bankers lack. Besides, when the mob shows up, the bankers will be outgunned 1,000 to one. I’d imagine the crooks have planned escape routes to fascist Europe.

[SaraJohnson]

Pay per view: The Battle of the Purple Shirts versus the Suits! I would watch!

[mysterio]

Did funneled bailout money pay for the guns as well?

[hennie pennie]

*ping*

[appalachian_dweller]

thanks for the ping pennie!!

I really don’t like the way these dots are connecting.

Stay safe pennie. Looks to be a rough road ahead.
