The Hamas terror attacks shattered the gun control ‘safety’ myth
American Thinker ^ | 14 Oct, 2023 | D. Parker

Have you noticed that the ghouls of the gun grabber lobby have been awfully quiet the past few days? These cynical control freaks who are all too ready and willing to exploit other people’s pain for their political gain would normally be coming out of the woodwork with all the ‘gun violence’ going on, citing the mass Hamas attack in Israel.

Why has it only been crickets from the gun confiscation crowd?

Despite perceptions, Israel was a dream state for these people. Israel had strict controls on guns, and the people’s common sense civil right of self-defense. That made it nearly a Utopia for the likes of groups with names like Mom’s Demanding Civilian Disarmament in Everytown and Brady United Against Your Second Amendment Right to Own A Gun.

Gun-grabbers are usually out in full force with their astroturf t-shirts, working hand in glove with the national socialist media to push for the next great achievement whenever there is a mass shooting. Remember, we’re always one more ‘gun safety’ measure from Utopia, one more ratcheting of the straps of authoritarianism around Lady Liberty from being free from ‘gun violence.’ That’s the gun control safety carrot that is always dangling a little way away, with the next step to safety just out of reach.

The serious problem for the fascist far left and the gun grabber lobby in particular is that the Hamas terror attacks have shattered the gun control ‘safety’ myth.

Despite all the strict controls over the innocent and harmless of Israeli society, these did nothing to protect the people. Taking away a person’s commonsense civil rights never works, and yet the ghouls of the gun grabber lobby persist in demanding it.

We live in a dangerous world with the ever-present threat of tyrannical authoritarian governments, terrorism...

Because the left and Hamas are playing for the same team?

Certainly the left and Hamas are aligned.

The kibbutz’s have shared arms which are stored in a central location. There was a story of a young girl, early 20’s who realized the noises they were hearing were different, mobilized the members of her kibbutz and slaughtered the invaders. Hero.

Others didn’t react in time.

Few people are actually allowed to “own” guns.......

The kibbitz’s are organized to slaughter invaders, if people get to their positions. Like the great wall of China, fortifications are not symetrical.

Americans should know by now, your security is yours.

After what happened in Ukraine and Israel, the question, “Why does anybody need an AR-15?” has been answered forever.

Now democrat-leftist-libtards just need to STFU.

We need to start calling our American gun-grabbers “Hamas”.

*If*.

Having the guns in your home makes the odds much more in your favor than needed to go to an outside location and hoping someone can unlock the armory.

Personally,I never thought anything about Israelis having guns; I just assumed they were all armed. I mean really, they are surrounded by rabid muslims right? So common sense would conclude that citizens were also armed. I was absolutely shocked to find out that only 2% of the population is armed and they are only permitted to have 50 rounds of ammo. WTH?

It's interesting to note that one of the 2% had their home broken into by these creatures. Guess how that worked out? You got it, the terrorists died and the Israeli residents lived.

The next day after the siege, the government 'relaxed' the laws on gun ownership and actually encouraged citizens to buy guns. Nothing like closing the gate after the horse is out. If I were an Israeli, I would be livid over this whole situation. How the hell did they fail to detect Hamas coming in??

NEVER trust any government; people are fools to allow themselves to be disarmed.

I swear I’ve seen photos here on FR that purported to be young women in Israel with automatic rifles slung over their shoulders. Am I imagining that? I was honestly shocked to find that the citizenry there were unarmed.

Posting the Killhouse Rules for those who don't already have them:

1. Nobody is coming to save you.
2. Everything is your responsibility.
3. Save who needs to be saved.
4. Kill who needs to be killed.
5. Always be working.

Also posting the five Rules of Gun Safety for those who don't already have them:

1. Never let the government take away your guns.
2. Treat every weapon as if it is loaded.
3. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
5. Identify your target and what is behind it.

Same here. Most likely all were active Israeli military soldiers. I understand all Israeli citizens are required to serve, including women for 2 years and 4 months, unless given an exemption. But like you, I thought the citizenry were allowed to be armed.

It has often been said, You don’t own it if you can’t defend it!

Now substitute “your life” for the word “it” in the above statement!
