Israelis use snipers for crowd control. Trow something potentially lethal, and you get shot in the knee with a .22 round.

Some years back it was said that Israelis were using some .22s, but aiming slightly above the knee.

“Whether he will walk again, or be able to have children (the first bullet struck his genitals) isn’t something they know yet.”

Any rioter caught with a laser pointer needs to be charged with felony battery at the very least.

Out of curiosity, what was his response? Has the guy woken up to the fact that the Dem party has been taken over by a bunch of far Leftists/Communists, and that they are not interested in anything but power, no matter the price of obtaining it?

Be careful what you wish for. A president Biden could use the same Fed agents against conservatives. Remember the Migrim experiment. 2/3 will give the fatal shock when ordered and in the case of the Feds with their pensions and paychecks it’s probably over 99%

And yet not a single one of them fired their weapon to eliminate the threat posed by the criminal leftists attacking them.

One word: Snipers <

I’ve read that the Israelis use snipers for crowd control. Trow something potentially lethal, and you get shot in the knee with a .22 round.

My .308 and I are ready to travel. I realize the feds have their own shooters but I will work for the ‘satisfaction’ of a job well done. I might miss a knee so I prefer ‘center of mass’ aim point.

Not at all what was said. What was said is that laser damage can cause permanent damage.

Need to know type of laser, wave length, and duration of exposure. Not all laser exposure causes immediyblindness

That's because nobody was carrying loaded weapons.

A handgun without bullets is just a hammer.

He's starting to agree with me on the "won't settle it by voting" assertion.

He's a union Democrat who was a working stiff all his life, on the liberal side. I tell him I get where he's coming from - he's got to Vote His Team. Union guys know that in their bones.

I tell him exactly what we think of the Democrat pols at the top.

Exactly right. All it will take is one and the rest will scurry home like the little cockroaches they are.

The .308 might be a bit much for this job. Please see my post #36.

If someone tries to blind you, your response should be two to the chest.

May the Lord have mercy and restore their sight.

Amen.

When I heard this news story I forgot the "love your enemy" order and I doubt I can also give him my cloak or turn my other cheek.

A struggle but I really doubt God wanted us to sit with our hands folded all through WWII while millions more died and Churches and synagogues burned or were turned into public toilets and garages as described in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer.

Our enemies are evil and arrogant. May God help us to defeat them.

Lasers are prohibited as weapons of war against eyes. The moment they shine that in an agents eyes is when to set off the clamores.

The IDF uses suppressed Ruger 10/22s. They go “CLICK!” and it’s mostly the sound of the bolt slapping back and forth.

“The anarchists want another Kent State.”

Bingo. And the foot soldiers of the Marxist revolution don’t know their masters WANT some of them to be killed.
