Israelis move to reduce restrictions on the ownership of guns. American leftists teach "guns are bad", "turn them in to the police."

We as a species keep learning the same lesson over and over.

We need to relax over this. There are many worse ways to spend tax dollars than gift cards for guns. Consider what this routinely accomplishes:

*People who do not want guns show up to "sell" them. This makes guns that would not ordinarily be available open for sale to buyers who walk the lines of people waiting to turn in something valuable.

*Gun owners can get rid of marginal guns for replacement. Years ago a buy back occurred at a local NY mall. They offered a $150 gift card useable any store in the mall. I unloaded a nearly worthless bird shottie (3 rounds max, paid $100) and bought a 12ga Mossberg pump at Dick's (before they went woke).

*It allows gun hand wringers to think they are actually doing something to reduce "gun violence". We all know it is silly. Nearly all gun laws seek to "reduce drunk driving accidents by banning sober drivers". This offers a distraction.

*At the very least, it removes guns from the hands of those who lack the correct frame of mind, training and will to possess and use guns, and every so often, maybe once at every 10th or 11th gun buy back, a criminal turns one in.

So take heart everyone! As long as we manage to stop the idiocy of legislation that only infringes on the 2A rights of the law abiding, the churning of the left does more good than harm in this case. And that doesn't happen often!

Armed citizenry is anathema to the communist concept of a kibbutz.

[from occupied ga]

This perfectly logical if you look at it from the perspective of Democrats. Democrats desire absolute power by the government over the citizens/serfs. Individual citizens are of no importance to the government. However, armed citizens have the potential to become a threat to a tyrannical government and by definition the type of government that the Democrats are trying to force on us is a tyranny that would be the envy of North Korea.

So it’s no surprise that Democrats look at how individuals with the right to keep and bear arms as a threat to their plans, what is a surprise is that so many ignorant stupid people continue to vote for them. When I see a Tesla driving down the road with a Biden Harris sticker on it I marvel at how a person rich enough to to buy a virtue signaling status symbol is simultaneously stupid enough to not only vote Democrat but to proudly proclaim his stupidity.

Sane countries when under attack: To Arms, To Arms!
USA, Canada, UK, most of EU: Disarm, Disarm!

Isn't the M-4 and the AR-15 essentially the same except the M-4 has burst and full auto?
Military versus Civilian versions.

[CodeToad]

Why is Israel handing out guns?? Because they banned them from private possession in the first place!

Israel does NOT recognize a right to keep and bear arms.

There is nothing like getting a thousand or two neighbors shot, raped, and beheaded to rethink that guns are not so bad after all.

I was very surprised to learn that Israel had tight control until now.
