It would be interesting if the Israeli government reached out like that in some way.

Just for fun, 1 million Ruger Security 9’s and 1 million AR-15’s with a 16 inch barrel in 5.56 each with 50 rounds of Ammo. each with a card that said, “Think of who gave you this the next time someone calls US Christians Anti-Semitic.”

They can’t because the Hamas is using them on Israelis.

There are reports those the Hamas are using are of our origin. There are photos I guess.

Tell you a thing about NYC. For a long period while living there, I carried a gun illegally. Bought it off the aforementioned sensei for $250, a .25 caliber semi-auto pistol that held just seven rounds. Small and compact. No biggee. Never had to use it, though crime was very high back then. If I could afford it, I’d buy one again.

Black powder guns are legal in NYC, so long as you don’t keep it fully armed and don’t go showing it off to the wrong people.

I was shocked when I learned of this. I was under the impression that they kept their weapons after they served. For years I followed Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership but never thought this applied to Israel.

Oh dear. If PDJT issued a directive like that, what would Larry David say?

Tommy Jeff and his buds already did it.

I’ve heard from friends of mine in Israel, they have guns. But they don’t feel safe at all. And at least for now they can’t get a flight out.

If I could get one, I’d pick it over a shoelace, any day. But if you can’t, you improvise. The one great thing about a gun isn’t its stopping power. If I had shot a guy crazed on PCP with my little illegal .25, it would have just got him mad. It’s the deterrence. You flash it, and the hooligans might back off. No deterrent factor in a shoelace. You will have to wrap it around the perp’s neck and choke off his carotids.

Oh wow. No, I found that on my own literally minutes before I posted it. I was looking up information about gun laws in Israel because I usually like to have my own facts about something. It was the best expository article I found in only 10 minutes of reading up on the topic.

GMTA, but then, FReepers have have some pretty great minds.

When President Trump gets reelected he should us appoint us all jointly as his Advisor On Everything.

It’s absolutely not too little, too late.

It will make a difference going forward.

The citizens need to make sure and fill the form out in triplicate and answer every question fully and correctly.

Lol.
