'Tremendous increase' in number of Jews purchasing firearms in wake of Hamas attack

A rising number of Jews are seeking training to protect themselves with a firearm in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel, with one gun shop seeing a "tremendous increase" in purchases made by Jewish customers.

All I do is watch pallets go to Kia Ukraine now I just gotta wait for them to go to Tel Aviv….

I wonder if the Jews are skin flinting us.

It's a start from an ethnic group who should have been the utmost advocates for the 2a for the last century.

I took a new Jewish shooter to the range yesterday. What have you done for 2nd amendment today?

 

[Uzi2]

Maybe Newton should have allowed that gun shop to open.

 

[kalash]

How many of these newly armed Jews voted for Biden and deny that he's partly responsible for what happened? The fact that American Jews vote for Dems will never stop boggling my mind. How the F are we supposed to enforce "never again" if we're not armed??

I took one of my Jewish anti gun friends to the range a few years ago at MFS. Really proud of him for entertaining the idea and trying it out. But I was surprised at how much the guy was shaking with fear to his core while holding the pistol. He lives in NYC now with his wifey so no need for guns ever since the whole city is a gun free zone lol.

No anti-2A person’s stance will ever change. They could have their front door kicked in, get tied up and forced to watch their children raped and killed, and they would go to an anti-2A rally the next day. You have to understand their state of mind is that if guns are made illegal or extremely hard to obtain for licensed individuals, then criminals will not get them. They literally want the government to confiscate all firearms in private hands in the nation and they truly believe that this would end all ”gun violence.” They have absolutely no problem with sacrificing Constitutional or privacy rights to make this goal happen.

Good on you!

>> If anyone here has a Jewish friend or acquaintance that is interested in learning to shoot, PM me.

Introducing 2 on Wednesday, and teaching a license class for another pair next weekend.

An opportunity to alert them to the legislative situation."You're doing all this good work, but you should know, there's legislation afoot..." the licensee learning what a mess it is now can often be the most "WTF, they're gonna make this worse?!?!?!?!" kinda person and, one hopes, the kind who makes calls.

That's part of the law talk

All I can add to this is that guns sales locally (MA) were very brisk this weekend, making for a lot of happy shop owners. In my travels hitting many shops, I heard the same message over and over again. Sales are great! I was even shown an impressive stack of 4473 forms at one shop for just one day. Holy cow!

I think it's mainly the very bad legislative situation here in MA and not the crazy violence in Israel. Can't know which buyers were Jews or "Other", but given how long it would take new Jewish shooters to get licensed in MA in order to buy a gun, I'm betting mostly "Others"...

Last weekend, I saw a huge rush to buy and given the handling behavior I saw, I was having a hard time not seeing value in a live fire training requirement. (No, not the crap that's in this bill.. just a general point about lack of training being scary to be around.)

 

[robjax]

These are people who vote for anti2A pols. Couldn’t care less what they do. They are responsible for the demise of 2A.

They shouldn’t be allowed to buy a firearm because of their anti status.

Hypocrites.

Way to 'big tent' there big fella.

To say nothing of telling on yourself.

 

[walter62]

The 'Big Tent' has been folded.

You sound like the kind of person who puts 'But...' in all conversations.

Pick a side. Foolishness or stupidity should be painful.

 

[Love Machine]

No kidding. I also disagree with the statement that the antis are not convertible. They very much are, under the right circumstances.

FIFY
why should everything be solved by empowering the government to kidnap and murder people?
Why can't we just build a culture around continual personal growth? Why can't we freely help our neighbors to stop having yet another first year of experience?

Edit - also, how does live fire change people's muzzle discipline? There are too many dents and holes in the baffles and ceiling of our indoor range to believe that's the issue...

 

[robjax]

So jump to the 2A side when convenient but prior to, they supported the anti 2A candidates who are in support of disarming all Americans.

Sounds fair. And if or when the Hamas threat is neutralized they go back to being anti 2A.

Who needs’em.

2A is a full time commitment. Not concerned with part timers for convenience or fudds.

 

[walter62]

But that is exactly how *most* people 'operate'.

It's someone else's issue until they (or their kids) get attacked.

to abuse a phrase, isn't it exactly that?

"an anti is a gun owner who hasn't been mugged [yet]"

“Never Again”

But the liberals will absolutely get in the train if it’s the party line.

 

[walter62]

And they will probably ask for bottled water and if the train (and ovens) is running on sustainable fuel

 

[G4Y4HK]

I hear the argument over and over again on the lib side. 'real men don't need guns to feel like a man'. 'why do you need all those guns? compensating?'

“Why do you need all those shoes? Why do you need all those hair extensions? Why do you need all those handbags?”

COMPENSATING?

And here I was thinking that the masculine thing to do was to protect your family/children, and to do so effectively. One might say that it is not masculine to gamble your children’s lives on being foolishly overconfident in your hand to hand fighting ability against unknown threats.

But, what do I know? Clearly Hogg is the epitome of all that is man and an expert on masculinity.

Oy vey, I wonder if the Jews are negotiating on the price of ammo… lol

 

[walter62]

They'll sell them the bullets.
