Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control

The elitist politicians must feel like gods. They have a security detail and the average citizen is disarmed.

Stern said: “But what I'm talking about right now is the guilt of disarming a population in face of terrorism that is unthinkable and that is evil, and they're going to have to pay when their day of judgment comes. Whether it's in front of a judge or whether it's in front of God, each and every person who wrote those laws and who enforced those laws is going to have to pay for their responsibility for all that blood that was spilled because they disarmed those people and didn't give them the ability to defend themselves.”

"..Jews comprise approximately nine percent (9%) of New York City's population, the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel.."

And here I was thinkin they were "smarter" people.. 😆😁

I hafta wonder what a safe/danger matrix chart between the Jewry of Israel vs NYC would look like. (Think Hot/Crazy matrix.)

The libbies are concerned that they can’t bring a million Palestinian “refugeez” into America without first confiscating all the firearms and ammunition in America. They’re going to need to get the knives too.

“Never ever give up your guns”

Seems to me the Democrats plans are to destroy the Middle Class by forcing them to support millions of illegals and then disarm the general population and then “Hello Totalitarian Government”

[Ransomed]

Is there some tactical demographic reason for the gun restrictions or is just typical lib dog squeeze about guns? I have yet to hear anyone make the demographic case. “We game played it out, and determined semiauto rifles for the general populace would actually cause more deaths in an invasion type scenario because we can’t trust armed segments of our citizenry to fight on our side” probably isn’t something too many pols would like to admit if true, though. Israel has a 20% arab population, not sure what% of them are muslim.

They accept foreign military aid for their defense systems, I don’t begrudge them this. But it seems like allowing their populace to effectively arm themselves would be a pretty cheap way to at least have a fighting chance when guys with rifles knock on the door. Maybe they wouldn’t need as much foreign military aid now if oct 7th would have been different through the defensive use of small arms.

when guys with rifles knock on the door...or

When the guys with rifles kick-in the door.

The difference is that, even now, it will still be virtually impossible for the average Israeli to get a weapon, especially a rifle and they are limited to possess only 100 rds of ammo, annually.
Ukraine gave an AK47 or AK74 to anyone that showed up and, I heard, 500 rds.

I was based in and around Israel in the late 80s and two things struck me: how small the country was -it was an easy drive from Rafah to the Lebanese border in daylight on one day. The second thing that struck me was how pervasive the casual carrying of firearms by the IDF was - they were everywhere, every bus stop, every crossroad. The families I knew had firearms in their homes and because of their prior army service, they knew how to use them

What changed? Why had readiness dropped to the point that of all the towns/kibbutzim and the music festival (!) that were attacked, only one of them had a security team leader with the presence of mind to prepare for battle?

Where were the IDF or the police? You would think that anyone with any intelligence at all would have suspected that the surrounding violent enemies could attack from any direction, at any time.

Who dropped the ball?

A picture is required for ALL Hamas terrorist-killing heroines...

[EandH Dad]

“Who dropped the ball?”

The people dropped the ball. They became accustomed to seeing armed people around and surrendered their security to that illusion and allowed the politicians to pass restrictive gun control laws. Those laws are being relaxed now and the gun shops are doing record setting sales. Hamas is probably going to be named “Salesman of the Year” just like Odumbo was back in the day.

Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do, you become a helpless victim.

Yep. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

If there is any population that should have known better, it is the Jews.

[kiryandil]

Lieberman killed five terrorists while the others gunned down twenty-five before the Israeli Defense Force arrived.

It would be pleasant if the dead inbreds were anointed with pork fat after being assisted into hell.

[gundog]

I’m waiting for Biden to cite the case of the little old Israeli lady that plied her attackers with snacks before she was rescued.

[MtnClimber]

If there is any population that should have known better, it is the Jews.

If you knock over bowling pins with a bowling ball, it’s fun.
If you knock somebody in the head with a bowling ball, it’s a deadly weapon.
Stop bowling ball violence!

Take the Skinheads bowling.
