""AR-10 would be even better. Thos vests won’t stop a 308 round"

It's why I have an M1 Garand - .30-06 packs more punch than 5.56

210 rounds was the combat load during my time in.

MACV-SOG Veteran Dr. Dick Thompson | EP. 104 | Mike Force Podcast

Dick Thompson carried 50 20-round mags on SOG missions into Laos during Vietnam. Others in SOG carried 30 or 35. (At the 44:45 minute mark.)

“I am at a loss as the number of Israelis apparently unarmed and uprepared. What happened?”


Contrary to the urban myth circulating out there, Israel has VERY tight gun control - only about 2% of the people are armed. Inside of Israel proper, the most that you can own is 1 handgun, with 50 rounds of ammo. In the territories, you can own a rifle also...but in all cases, only if the government approves, after you’ve jumped through a bunch of hurdles and had a face-to-face interview with the local police.

Their police commissioner has made a big deal about “liberalizing” the gun laws, but all that they’re doing is speeding up the process a bit and replacing the in-person interview with a Zoom interview. That’s complete BS - their nation is under attack right now, and I can vividly recall the Ukrainian government opening up stockpiles of AK-47s and handing them to anyone who could fog a mirror - including 65-year-old grandmothers. Israel could (and SHOULD) learn something from that...but that old Socialist desire to control the population apparently dies hard.

I saw a video of them coming over the border in motorized paragliders. A double barreled shotgun would have done the trick.

It’s going to be a while before they allow AR-15s at concerts.

“Should” … meanwhile Brandon gave the Muhammedans 358k rifles among many other toys, now in use.

All the Israelis needed to do was to step out and fire two shotgun rounds in the air. It worked for Cornpop. /s

How many American neighborhoods would be as defenseless as the Israelis in that video?


All of them.

Any neighbourhood that urbanized would be about the same.

Israel has stupid gun laws and not many have guns.

It does prove that everyone should have RKBA rights because you can’t count on the governments and police to protect you from monsters like this.

The leftism rampant in Israel helped create the large casualty situation. People could have taken those monsters out from inside their homes upon approach.

I read an article on Israeli gun laws back in 1968. Could not believe how disarmed those people were surrounded by hostile nations so close to them.

Wish I had someone by me willing to just go to the range and show me even a few things. I’d pay my way gladly.

Israel has problems with leftist politicians just like our blue states.

What we need, according to our defense department, is more gays and trannies in the armed forces. Didn’t Biden call them the soul of our nation?

The average American female has to be seeing the demented vicious images of how the females are faring with Hamas. Would this be a wake up call to the feminists who decry toxic masculinity?

Do they really count on calling for help from the soyboy snowflakes when it hits here, as it most assuredly will, and probably around Christmas.

That’s why the MSM won’t show these images..........................

If a percentage of those at the concert had CCW pistols and spare mags they could have put up a fight. It seems they were being executed at point blank range.

The homeowners should have had, at a minimum, A rifle like an AR or AK with optics or without (it did not look like they would need 500 yd shots so no need to know range of landmarks), a home defense shotgun and a pistol like a G17 with adequate mag capacity.
