10,000 Assault Rifles Being Distributed to Israeli Civilian Security Teams

[Tartakovsky]

Sorry, mine is a 522, just a typo. If he's in Switzerland it could be this.

I love my Swiss AK

Jews in the USA don't have artillery rockets and mortar shells, fired in anger, raining down upon them.

So we should wait till we need weapons and then go to the store after we get permission?

I agree, you would think that Israel would be better prepared for such an attack. I suppose that there are lots of peace-loving liberals there too.

Israel was mostly populated by communist and socialist Jews from Russia and Eastern Europe. They brought those communist ideas with them. And communists don’t trust people with guns.

More Lessons:

“Lessons learned at bitter cost are promptly forgotten, usually within a single generation, and thus must be “re-learned” all over again (at great price) by the foolish who don’t study history”

The War has started. It’s too late to “do it differently!”

There is scant doubt that observant intelligence analysts, in both Israel and the USA, in the normal course of just doing their jobs, saw plain indications that this attack on Israel was imminent.

Plans and mobilization for an attack on this level cannot be kept secret!

Yet, when these dedicated analysts came to their woke bosses, saying, “We need to pay attention to this!”

Their bosses contemptuously dismissed them with something like, “Don’t worry about it”

When the shallow and self-centered don’t want something to be true, they simply “pretend” it’s not true!

That’s exactly what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1941, in Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive in 1968 (I was there for that one!), and in NYC in September of 2001.

The Israeli government is now (a little late!) distributing military rifles and ammunition to citizens.

Heretofore, such weapons were locked in armories, even in border areas, and not kept in homes of people who desperately needed them close at hand and instantly deployable.

Israel’s borders (like ours) are mostly “symbolic” Most Israelis living in border areas naively believed various fences and occasional patrols actually represented a legitimate “deterrent”

Once again, a convenient “belief,” but complete fantasy!

For the decades since 1948, many Israelis foolishly believed that when they were just nice to their Arab neighbors (who vociferously hate their guts) that these very people, who continuously vow to exterminate every one of them, would some day “learn to like us!”

Maybe a noble-minded thought, but complete nonsense, as we see, and have seen over and over!

Israel, and really all of Western Civilization, suffered (and continues to suffer) from a dastardly
surprise attack several day ago that deliberately targeted defenseless non-combatants. It has plunged the area into intense warfare, warfare that may not stay contained to the region!

I’m so weary of hearing “Never Again,” because I’ve heard it so many times before, yet “never” keeps happening, to Jews and to the rest of Western Civilization!

Short memories lead to short lives!

Too bad we don't have more jewish support for our rights to arm ourselves in the USA.

Like this?

Aren't they FA?

I would assume so. A friend of mine said he was issued an M16 when he went through his training in Israel. So give em what they know well.

And owning a rifle will somehow protect you from those things..
But owning a rifle will stop a two legged terrorist hell bent on exterminating your entire family as it walks door to door unopposed!

I’d be ok with an SG550, full auto of course. Many Swiss homes have these.

I have a 551 I bought when I worked at sig. Great trigger. They use proprietary magazines. Crazy expensive and sig didn't carry them anymore, so no 1/2 price mags for me. One came with the gun and I bought 2 more. I think they were around $130 each.

Other than Kraut space magic, what makes a $130 magazine?

Injection molding.

Injection molding.

Are there only like seven of them in the world? IM is about as cheap as sheet metal in volume. That's the point.

Supply - exclusively theirs
Demand - you will pay it.

it is a most retarded thing one can do - to have a weapon that uses anything non-interchangeable with the majority of rifles used by the rest of the local military.

That's kind of my thought. If you're building a fighting rifle in 5.56, I can't imagine a reason to not make it STANAG-compatible. Like, even if your magazine design is actually magic, it should be compatible.

And I picked up some PE90 bayonets for the 550 for about $50 each. There crazy expensive now.

i like my tavor, but it is not a primary weapon to rely upon, but even tavor uses standard 30rd mags. AR with its trigger, bolt, receivers, barrels - it is a platform for a long run.

It was designed in the 70s, and I’m sure STANAG mag compatibility was not a high priority for the Swiss.

When Sig designed those mags, STANAG did not even exist.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Jews in Israel are for the most part unarmed by their own government. They have men that want to wipe them off the face of the planet literally bordering them and the .gov issues permits like NYC did. It's shameful. People are blaming everyone for the deaths of innocents, the Jewish government in Israel deserves some blame as well. They handcuffed their own people with animals THEY KNEW DAMN WELL would eventually move in on them.

A week or two late I would say...

Better late than never.

 

[EJFudd]

Better late than never.

Hmmm. Not so much in this case...

At least 1,200 people have died and 2,900 others have been injured in Israel after the militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented incursion from air, land and sea on Saturday, Israeli authorities said.

well, the choice is trust your own citizens OR surrender to Hamas!

time they readjusted their trustometer, and fully arm every able bodied man and woman in the country.

i suppose what the israelis were actually saying was...."we trust jewish citizens, but a third of our country is palestinians, and we do not trust them....so nobody gets any gunz!"

 

[Upland]

This horror in Israel is a good time to open dialogue with people who support gun control. I live in a town with a large Jewish population, many are left leaning. If what happened 80 years ago isn’t enough to persuade them maybe what happened last weekend will.

Yep. The timing of all this almost seems like God giving a dire warning to those who would allow, indeed force, their government to disarm them. Glad I am not the only one who got the message. Is the USA really in such a very different position from Israel with unidentified criminal aliens invading daily in large numbers through our open southern border? I don't think so.
