More Guns ~ Things are Looking Up in Israel!

Ben Gvir announces plan to streamline gun license applications after terror attacks
“Ben Gvir announces plan to streamline gun license applications after terror attacks.”

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)-

“Terrorists want to die, but only on their own terms. Our goal is to grant them half their wish!” ~ Phil Messina

Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, is making big changes at his Ministry’s Firearm Licensing Department, making it vastly easier for Israeli citizens to own and carry guns for personal protection.

Citing several recent examples where armed citizens incisively thwarted terrorist attacks, Ben Gvir said,

“These are excellent examples of the great necessity and importance of our citizens carrying guns, and we have a duty to speed-up the process and dramatically shorten the bureaucracy, for the safety of our children, for the lives of all of us!”

Currently, in Israel, those who want to own and carry gun(s) still have to “show a need” and be personally interviewed in order to be granted a “license” to do so.

However, Army officers and NCOs are not required to return their guns, nor be interviewed, when they are discharged from reserve service, and citizens who have been in continuous possession of a firearm permit for ten years are now allowed to retain it indefinitely.

Recently, an enormous surge in gun applications by frightened Israelis has flooded Ben Gvir’s Ministry.

This in the wake of destructive Arab rioting in a number of cities, continuing anti-Jewish threats by Hamas as well as other notorious terror groups, and last week’s precipitous murder of seven unarmed Israelis outside a Jerusalem synagogue, perpetrated by a single Palestinian terrorist (subsequently killed by police)

Yet, many (probably most) ultra-Orthodox Israeli Jews have never served in the military nor in police services (owing to religious tenants), and many among them believe carrying guns on the Sabbath represents a violation of Jewish Law. They (and their families) thus remain incredibly vulnerable, but that is their choice!

Comment: Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir are modern Israeli heroes, trying their best to protect citizens and promote individual freedom and liberty while still working within overgrown, self-protective, impossibly sluggish government bureaucracies!

There is simply no way any species of bureaucracy will ever voluntarily reduce its size and influence. In fact, there is only one thing any bureaucracy ever does well, and that is “promote itself!”

Amoebic, power-hungry bureaucracies (is there another kind?) continue to suffocate the rights and liberties of all of us here and there.

It takes real heroes to put them in their place before we all find ourselves confined within a gigantic, omnipresent post office!

“I live in the ‘Managerial Age,’ in a world of ‘Admin.’ The greatest evil is not now done in sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint, nor is it done even in ‘concentration camps.’ In those we see its final result! Rather, it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men in white collars, cut fingernails, and smooth-shaven cheeks, who never need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough my symbol for “hell” is something like the bureaucracy of a police state” ~ CS Lewis

You call yourself, “Truth Jurist”? Typical of the 180-degree tactics of the left wing-nuts!

U.S. Veterans Day is not only for those who honorably served and either gave some or all of their life but also those that were honorably discharged or retired AND who continued to stay true to their oath after they left the military. In other words, keeping their oath until they exhale their last breath. Veterans Day isn’t for veterans that became conspiracy theorists, separatists, or seditionists or for Russian assets.

On April 19, 1995, Tim McVey and his band of “patriots”, most of which were honorably discharged US Army veterans, murdered several of my friends and colleagues in the Murray Building, Journal Record building and immediate surrounding area in Oklahoma City, OK. My firearms trainer’s Father, an honorably discharged veteran, his Mother and his niece, who was being babysitted by her grandparents, were murdered in the Murray building, they were simply there to check on social security benefits. My friends and colleagues were just collateral damage to the P.O.S. McVey and team. Not long after that day I vowed to… Read more »

What a pitiful analysis.

your ignorance is plain to see. Randy Weaver”s offence was cutting off a shotgun barrel to where it was under the 18″ limit.
after Weaver was done that barrel was 17 and 7/8 inches long.
for 1/8th of an inch atf and other feds persecuted a man who only wanted to live in rural setting and be left alone.
1/8 of an inch…. must be the size of your dick or perhaps the amount of gray matter the rest of us call a brain.

Please read ” Final Report “, the Final Report on the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building by The Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee headed by Senator Charles Key. Library of Congress Catalogue Number : 2001117318.

Why you keep askin’ me questions? I have demonstrated your lack of validity and you keep askin’. It shows a lack of self esteem when you want to keep jabbering with folks who have no interest in what you have to say.

It is you who needs to seek help….mental and spiritual, brother…..No need for an answer because you are dead on arrival with me.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) – Whether you dread it or welcome it, daylight saving time is fast approaching this year.
People should expect to turn their clocks ahead an hour in the early morning of March 12. More specifically, daylight saving will begin at 2 a.m., meaning that at that time, the time will either automatically jump over to 3 a.m. – depending on the device – or you’ll need to set it forward.

Hahahah. I gave up on hoping Orange Man would be prosecuted for those crimes. Very little of it was refuted. Absence of prosecution is not proof that it wasn’t true. It will be easier to nail Orange Man on state or federal crimes committed within the US though. I grow impatient for prosecution of Trump for his Jan 6th transgressions. As for Hunter Biden, if there is something there, then hope he is further investigated and prosecuted. Justice should not know any boundaries of political party.

Happiness is seeing another January 6th seditionist convicted and crying and whining. Their Orange God threw them under the bus. Hahahah, live and learn. The only person Trump looks out for is himself. Tough loving brothers, sorry that Trump brain washed you all and you haven’t seen it yet. Walk towards the light brothers, walk towards the light.

Truth Jurist

What percentage of those seditionists on Jan 6th were military veterans? Several. Also, about five so far that were charged but not prosecuted were on active duty. That, my friends, is truly the swamp! What kind of treasonous bastards takes the military oath and then breaches the capital, carries zip ties, tries to stop the certification of the vote. Shows the depravity of some in our military and shows the failure of military leadership, shows our weakness to our enemies. Shows our Russian assets.

Wild Bill

Only your factually unsupported opinion. DJ donated his presidential salary to the federal Park Service each and every year; built the wall; decreased illegal immigration to century lows; threw Chinese spies out of the US; and cultivated a business environment that keep inflation low and middle class incomes up (rather than the wealthy class). Each of this things is researchable.

Truth Jurist

Trump made millions off his privilege and position through his own businesses while President. I see you drank the Trumpy Kool-Aid. We are talking about Mr. Scam Himself, the head poohbah of scam, Donald J. Trump. I am no fan of Biden. But Trump remains a study in human depravity.

If you are accusing Trump of misusing his position as POTUS, then give an example of said misuse, if you can.

All that evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 elections is a matter of record. Pivotal townships in Wisconsin and Michigan had more votes cast that residents. Polling places shut down in George at midnight, when Biden was behind, then reopening in the morning, and Biden mysteriously ahead in the vote count.
I saw a M.I.T professor demonstrate, in a Congressional hearing, the impossibility of such a come from behind victory, under those particular circumstances. All the evidence of voter fraud in Wisc., Mich., Georgia, and Arizona is a matter of record.

Some very positive developments on our USA home front. Illinois District Appellate court suspended their idiotic gun ban – they know it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Illinois constitution.

I have only read two of CS Lewis’ books and I very much enjoyed them. What I don’t care for is when someone quotes a passage here or there, whether it is from one of Lewis’ books, or some religious text, or from some famous military leader, and then tries to use it to back a certain viewpoint that isn’t consistent with the author’s work. Then others that haven’t actually read the book requoting it as if they were a prodigious reader of said work and a “student” of that and related work.

Right on Israel. You need to arm yourselves but strive for unity and inclusiveness. Don’t forget that extremists and later terrorists grow out of extremists, and they come in all forms, left wing, right wing, of every religious flavor and as atheists as well, in every sect, every color and in every ethnicity. Sometimes they served honorably in the military only to become terrorists once honorably discharged. Extremists and terrorists know no bounds of these characteristics. Be ready.
