They wouldn't do that. At least not until they have all the guns.
The same Congress obsessed with violating our 2A rights is arming and weaponizing foreign countries left and right. Law abiding Dads trying to protect their families face continuous threats from Biden and other gun grabbers.

Biden has provided Israel with tens of thousands of weapons and artillery shells. The surge of arms, including roughly 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery shells, began shortly after the Oct. 7 attack and has continued in recent days, the officials said. The U.S. hasn’t previously disclosed the total number of weapons sent nor has it mentioned the transfer of 100 BLU-109, 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs.
The airlift of hundreds of millions of dollars in US munitions, primarily on C-17 military cargo planes flying from the U.S. to Tel Aviv, as the Biden administration urges them to consider preventing large-scale civilian casualties while supplying many of the munitions deployed.
Some security analysts say the US weapons giveaways could undercut Biden’s pressure on Israel to protect civilians. “It seems inconsistent with reported exhortations to use smaller-diameter bombs,” said a senior adviser at the nonprofit International Crisis Group, and a former attorney-advisor at the State Department.
Unlike US arms to Ukraine where the U.S. has published regular updates on some of the weapons it has provided, Washington has disclosed little about how many and what types of weapons it has sent to Israel.
Biden officials say the lack of disclosure is partly b/c US weapons to Israel come through different mechanisms, including military sales. U.S. military aid to Israel amounts to some $3.8 billion every year.
The US arsenal of artillery, bombs, other weapons and military gear have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia and Libya, to target large groups of gathered enemy forces.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Defense didn’t respond to a request for comment on the weapons transfers. The White House National Security Council didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
On one hand, Israel’s military says it takes precautions to protect civilians, but has also said its air force strikes were causing “maximum damage.”
According to an internal US govt list of the weapons described to The WSJ, among the arms the U.S. has handed over to Israel just in the last few months include:
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate Hamas’ concrete shelters.
Military analysts say the transfer of large bombs to Israel illustrates the choices facing the Israeli military as it attempts to wipe out Hamas in Gaza, a tiny, densely populated ribbon of land that is home to more than two million Palestinians.
The U.S. has transferred about 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs to Israel to help dislodge Hamas from Gaza.

A few ‘representatives” represent. HOORAY Rand Paul
This and other euphemisms are used to describe a bill that does nothing but give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
The Constitution has a word for that. Use it!
One of the good guys.
Think things are bad now? Think ahead…wait till the brain dead politicians will have no choice but to REMOVE and DEPORT all 8-10 million of the illegals…many will be armed and unwilling to leave by then.
$$$ Billions more will have to be spent increasing the .gov agencies in cleaning up the problem…….unless…. of course they will decide to give them all amnesty!
As a Congressman already stated the illegals are getting $2000 a month plus welfare, medical benefits, etc. ( the average American on SS only gets $1400 a month) why would they leave?
Unless action is taken soon, we are doomed for decades.
1913 Federal Reserve
1920 19th Amendment
1965 Immigration Act
Three strikes.
Tens of billions for other country’s borders.
Not a single cent for ours.
Rand Paul is correct.
Well, it looks like the adults took my advice. They let him have his tantrum until he got tired, and then voted the bill through anyway. But he got his virtue signalling done, and I suppose it will yield him some campaign cash.
The Trivecta.
We’re well over thirty TRILLION dollars in debt. no worries, we’ll borrow more money from the communist chinese (who use our money and debt to build up their military), and then instead of investing in our own infrastructure , piss it away to one of the most corrupt countries on earth. We can’t be bothered to defend our own border, but we’re super concerned over who controls the borderlands between poland and russia.
You are the herpes of FR.
lthough it happens occasionally, I’m still suprised when an America-/American-hating, woefully ignorant, heartless agitator exposes themselves on FR, revealing what they truly are.
They wouldn't 'leave'. In a sane world they would be sent by the states to District of Columbia, where they don't violate the states' citizenship rights, to wait for trial. When every state starts moving them out, the deep state will be in deep sh[ite in DC.
Any 'parolee' found outside of District of Columbia after a given date is considered armed, dangerous, ... might go so far as to provide a reward for their death(s).
You’re too generous. . .
He is the chlamydia of FR?
