That Warm, Fuzzy Leftist Feeling
July 2nd, 2008A Fine Trade for Innocent Lives
I was just reading about the Muslim nutwad who stole a front-end loader and used it to kill and injure a bunch of innocent people in Jerusalem.
This vicious, deluded individual went on a rampage, throwing cars and doing as much damage as he could do. What finally stopped him? Firearms. The best solution to random violent crime.
The first shooter was an off-duty soldier. The second was an anti-terror officer. For some reason, it took two guns to take this moron out and send him to hell, where he did not find the virgins he was promised. By the time he was dead, a large number of people had become victims.
Israel now has bizarre, suicidal gun-control legislation. When I lived there, you couldn’t walk down a street without seeing two or three automatic rifles. Now the populace is disarmed, except for a lucky few. Diane Feinstein would have fit right in, when she had her precious elitist gun permit. Chuck Schumer still has one; maybe he should emigrate.
Would this fool have tried this twenty years ago? I doubt it. When I was there, a bunch of inbred “freedom fighters” attacked a public square, and they were immediately put in their place by armed Israelis. When questioned, they said they would not have attacked, had they realized people were armed. Duh.
It seems like we now have a strange and asymmetrical situation in Israel. In “Palestine,” i.e. the bits of Israel the Jews gave away to thieving squatters, it’s okay to have a shoulder-fired rocket. In Jerusalem, you’re not allowed to have a pistol. How can anyone think that’s a good arrangement?
Arm your people, Israel. We know from experience that they don’t use weapons to commit violent crime. And we know what happens when they can’t fight back.
