Just a quick Google reviles this quite overwhelmingly.
Peter Schiff Debates the State of the Economy on Bloomberg
Peter is just pointing out what is already historically the case, printing money you don't have causes massive inflation. Printing what will soon be 1/5 the GDP (about 4-5 trillion in bail outs and climbing) will cause hyper inflation, about 20-30% if the trend continues. The people this will hurt the most are the poor and elderly; basically those who's wages are fixed or slowly adjusted with the inflation rate.

Probably Americans. And Born-again Christians. And Palin-lovers.
Ahhh anti-Christianity is the new racism. Thanks for the irrational slams, place feels more like youtube everyday.

Margaret Cho- These Christian Groups Have Lost Their Minds
All Christians don't live in trailer parks. Leibniz was one of the smartest people in all of history and a christian. There are also dumb Christians. I know she is supposed to be a comedian and just joking about social issues, but that doesn't make the generalization any less offensive. No upvote for just regurgitating hateful things, the very thing she is complaining about mind you.

Does the 2nd Amendment Ensure The Right to Bear Arms?
Does the 2nd Amendment Ensure The Right to Bear Arms?
I think the main ploy to the ordinary man to give up his second amendment rights to bear arms usually comes with the idea of enhanced safety of all. If people don't have guns, then less violent crime will happen, or at least the violent crime won't be as easy to comment and take to the point of lethality. But this is a slippery slope of logic that I don't see any reasonable ending point to. You can carry that argument in every direction without bounds that aren't completely subjective. For instance, cars make bank robberies much easier to commit. Should the general populous not have access because it would make all of our dollar bills safer?
Gun laws seem very close in relation to drug laws, to make criminals out of people that have committed no other crime than possessing something. That is a moral problem. How is it right for a person to be brought to trial for committing no crime against his fellow man. A man going to jail because of his hypothetical use of a device in a violent manor is unjust and has no logical end.
No one can ignore the horrible atrocities that have happened in the recent upsurge of school shootings. The ease in which massive harm can be committed with automatic weapons is all to apparent. But making guns illegal doesn't solve that problem. In fact, it only gives power to those rouge elements in society that have no respect for the law. I find a similar parallel in the video game industry with all the new copyright protection methods. Hackers easily thwart all the new countermeasures within weeks or less, but the ordinary person has to deal with a whole new level of stress when dealing with the program (program stalls, interference with hardware settings and various others). I am not commenting on the legality of these copyright measures, but how they negatively affect the ordinary person and do nothing to stop the criminal.
It is a fact that in a free society, horrible things will happen. When such a thing happens, it is the immediate instinct to react. And what better way to react than with the false but convincing argument that more government controls will help the situation. You can outlaw criminal behavior as much as you want, but that doesn't eliminate crime. The fact is, the more unnecessary laws you create the more criminals you create, of which most are collateral damage, ordinary persons thrown in jail in the pursuit of unobtainable perfect safety.
In a free society, we have to get used to the fact that instead of a monarch committing atrocities on us, it will be our neighbors. A hard but certain truth when considering any law you would wish to create. In that, you want all the liberties you can get to ensure you freedoms will be preserved.
