My dear, dear, dear, Tireh, Uri.
Since this not your thread, I hereby inform you that guns rock. Handguns, shotguns, automatics and semis. 9mms, .45s, .38s, Magnums, hollow-points, .30s (sniper rounds) and of course, the beloved incendiarys (SWEET!).
I think, Uri, you should go to a range (try Krav in Talpiot) and feel the joy of recoil. Loading, chambering, aiming and firing. Watching the spent shell fly out of the slide. It's sweet. It's a sport , as well. And here in Eretz Yisrael, many hate us already. When they come knocking - or bulldozing, one of the above can do wonders.
The bad guys are always going to be packing. The good guys should be as well. In the words of Heston Rabbenu "my idea of gun control is a firm grip"
and
"the'll have to pry my gun from my cold , dead, gnarly hands!"
"A Strapped society is a polite society"
With all due respect and love, and spare rounds,
Kanesher ;D
PS: I will behave. Later
