Sadly, it hasn't made sense in centuries . . . .

10th Circuit Court Lets N.M. Ruling That Waiting Periods Are Unconstitutional Stand​

Mark Chesnut - December 29, 2025

“Cooling-off periods infringe on the Second Amendment by preventing the lawful acquisition of firearms,” the court ruling stated. “Cooling off periods do not fit into any historically grounded exceptions to the right to keep and bear arms, and burden conduct within the Second Amendment’s scope. In this preliminary posture, we conclude that New Mexico’s Waiting Period Act is likely an unconstitutional burden on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens. We also conclude the other preliminary injunction factors are met and that Plaintiffs are entitled to an injunction.”

Real Love is not based on attachment, but on altruism. In this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer.

~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama




When our hearts are open to everyone, it is easier for us to trust, respect and sympathize with each other. We may be deceived a few times, but there are still good people to meet, make soulmates and are no longer alone. Such a life will be more beautiful and good for growth. When good and good meet and cooperate with each other, good will develop slowly. If we keep doubting each other forever, keep framing each other, separating each other forever, even if we have kindness, we will not have the opportunity to meet with others to share, to cooperate and develop the good more strongly.

~ THICH CHAN QUANG

Not to fear, I have bullion. Some of oro and mostly plata. And ammo. And the new shottie is sittin' right here. <<<<

I figure that it's all good for barter if-r-when the SHTF. And Out West, we're headed toward self-contained. Not that far away.

As a virtual porn board "anarchist", you have no clue sbout what "self-contained" involves.

It could go to $100 if the present rate holds. The problem with selling is that you're exchanging value for something that represents diminishing value.

Precious metals took a serious beating yesterday. It's a bad call to be thinking that it's a good investment when it's at an all time high.

Serious beating? Can we even say that, or will the pansy-bois report us to Mommy?? Maybe they think that "precious metals" is code for "candy asses." Or firearms, or ammo, or Things That Hurt Their Widdle Feewers. I'm sure it's sad no matter how you slice it on Planet Lit Libturd, where Kammie is Prez'dent For Life.


Or maybe metals are making a bit of a comeback today, so far.


Buy low, sell high. The trick is recognizing low when it happens. And high.

Silver is still down $3.50/oz from it's high on the 26th. Gold is down $150/oz.

$150/oz ain't chump change and it don't matter whether you're holding physical or just paper.

Absolutely not. But those rolls of half dollars over there <<<<< were bought a few years ago when it was way less spendy.

I’ve held most of mine for over twenty years, and in that sense, it has been a good investment, because it has retained value over time. The problem arises when you sell at the highs: you’re often just exchanging a hard asset for a depreciating one. In effect, you’re not profiting so much as cashing in on the dollar’s decline. That highlights the distinction between nominal gains and real purchasing power. Gold and silver function less like speculative investments and more like monetary insurance. Selling them without a clear plan to preserve purchasing power on the other side often defeats the purpose of owning them in the first place. I tend to view precious metals not as something to “exit,” but as a source of liquidity, useful only when converting into other undervalued real assets.

I started buying silver in 1982 at an avg. price of $7/oz.

The problem with this plan is that what you're really doing is sitting on an asset that has no value until you sell it.

Yes the market value of the commodity has increased but you're not actually in the market because you're not trading your assets. Until you do that your assets are, basically, of no value because you can't eat them or use them for shelter or your other needs.

You bought an item, put it on a shelf, and now talk about how it's gained value. Yet it really hasn't done that until you sell it. Which you won't do so the reality is that it's a liability instead of an asset. Worse, when you add in the associated costs of keeping that asset, it might even be a loss instead of a profit.

You could possibly leverage the perceived market value to gain cash without selling the asset but that increases the potential loss and raises the liability. Especially if the market trends down like it's doing now.

From a financial perspective, unless you're actively trading in the market, owning physical metals isn't much more than a talking point. It's the same as having a VanGough on the wall. It's not worth anything more than paint by numbers refrigerator art until you sell it. Depending on the market and your acquisition costs, the paint by numbers might even have a bigger profit margin.

Oooooooooooo, no. Bullion has value since before Money, and it will after Money. It's the original money.
