"It is a question of trust between the state and the citizen. The citizen is not just a citizen, he is also a soldier," Hermann Suter, who at the time was vice president of the Swiss gun-rights group Pro Tell, told the BBC then. "The gun at home is the best way to avoid dictatorships-only dictators take arms away from the citizens." Apparently many of his fellow Swiss agreed. The referendum was easily defeated.

Contact Editor Tzvi Lev, 15/02/18 20:49 Tzvi Lev is a newswriter at Arutz Sheva and is studying towards a degree in Arabic and Middle Eastern studies at Ariel University. He served as a company sergeant in an IDF combat unit. Wednesday's horrific shooting in Florida has reignited the gun rights debate in the United States over the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, adopted in 1791, which states:: "... the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." In the past, proponents of limiting civilian access to firearms have extolled Israel as having the proper approach to limiting mass shootings, pointing to the numerous legal hoops Israelis must jump through in order to be granted a gun license. "In Israel, gun ownership is a privilege rather than a right," wrote Public Radio International in November. "There is no such thing as a right to bear arms in Israel," the Huffington Post preached after the 2016 shooting in an Orlando nightclub that left 50 dead. Newsweek praised Israel for obligating its citizens to "show genuine cause to carry a firearm, such as self-defense or hunting". The message is clear: Israel has the right approach in curtailing access to firearms, and the United States would be well advised to tread the same path. In reality, Israel's gun policy is living proof of the arguments the American gun lobby has been making for years. Gun rights advocates contend that the way to stop mass shootings is by ensuring that there are always well-armed citizens present who can neutralize the shooter. As NRA chairman Wayne Lapierre always says, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". A bedrock of the NRA's philosophy is that criminals will always acquire guns illegally, and draconian gun laws only render law-abiding citizens defenseless. When the knife intifada erupted in September 2015, the Israeli government's response was to ease the process for the civilian populace to obtain weapons. Enter Israel: When the knife intifada erupted in September 2015, the Israeli government's response was to ease the process for the civilian populace to obtain weapons. After a particularly bloody Jerusalem shooting attack that killed four, then-Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan drastically changed the gun laws in order to significantly raise the number of armed civilians on the streets. Instantly, graduates of Special Forces units and IDF officers with the rank of Lieutenant and above were permitted to purchase guns at their will, security guards were allowed to bring their guns home after work, and the minimum age for a license was reduced from 21 to 18. Erdan explained that "civilians well trained in the use of weapons provide reinforcement in the struggle against terrorism", while Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat called for every resident to carry a gun, and was even photographed traveling the city carrying a Glock 23. In addition, the overwhelming majority of terror attacks in Israel are stopped by armed civilians, not law enforcement. For example, the terrorists in the 2016 Sarona market attack were stopped by armed passersby. A pistol-carrying tour guide put an end to the 2017 ramming attack in Arnona that left four soldiers dead. In Israeli eyes, guns are a valuable deterrent against terrorism. In fact, terrorists have told the Shin Bet internal security service that they often target haredi Jews due to the high likelihood that they are unarmed. Gun control supporters would answer that the mandatory military service that every Israeli undergoes justifies the trust Israel has of its citizens. However, this argument doesn't hold water. The vast majority of IDF soldiers aren't combat soldiers and are certified as 02 riflemen. To be 02 requires one to shoot between 40 and 70 bullets. The pistol course needed to obtain a license takes less than four hours. It is a far cry from the highly trained population that the Left imagines. Gun control has been proven to be a dismal failure in Israel. The Israeli Arab communities are rife with illegal weapons, with some police estimates putting the number of unlicensed weapons in the Arab sector as high as 500,000. Think about that for a second: The most heavily guarded borders in the world and a highly professional Shin Bet are still not enough to prevent criminals from obtaining illegal firearms. When terrorists attacked a school in Maalot in 1974, Israel did not declare every school a gun-free zone. It passed a law mandating armed security in schools, provided weapons training to teachers and today runs frequent active shooter drills. There have been only two school shootings since then, and both have ended with teachers killing the terrorists. It is an approach that the Americans should take to end the constant slaughter of innocents. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/21714 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- L- When the protections from crime social sanctions have been outlawed and the rule of law been watered down, even violating basic principles of human psychology, favours the convenience of lawyers and the judiciary, with the Supremes now feeling free to abandon foundational principles to their rational of seeing the Constitution as a "living tree", elevating them a role as high priests/priestesses of utopia. Am I exaggerating... yes, but only a little. Under the principle of humility, of the obligation to judge the tree by the fruit it produces, say a value for money audit using the scientific method no reforms will emerge. So, for those whose home or work or both is in high crime areas with meth heads/blind drunk violent criminals. You are on your own.

There are reasons 3rd world nations, even with massive natural resource wealth, in spite of that wealth, retain 3rd world status. For a P.M., Justin Trudeau, who does not believe in Canada as a nation-state, he's certainly going about eroding its foundations effectively. Policy wise, you have to give him points for consistently bad decisions. Really, really inept or nefarious subversion? A distinction without a difference. Contact your provincial government to protest this federal policy decision. Everything your prov. and municipal taxes pay for is slated to suffer another ballistic impact from Ottawa! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2018 17:41:20 -0600 From: Larry James Fillo Subject: "UK Soldier Out of Ammo Beheads Jihadi With a Spade" - UK Soldier Out of Ammo Beheads Jihadi With a Spade Afghanistan > UK Soldier Out of Ammo Beheads Jihadi With a Spade By Clarion Project Monday, January 8, 2018 Ambushed by jihadis in Afghanistan, a British special forces soldier who had run out of ammunition used the only weapon he could find against a charging ISIS fighter: a spade, the Daily Star reported. Using the long-handled shovel with its sharp, rectangular blade, the soldier cut off the jihadi’s head with one blow. He then grabbed the fighter’s weapon and managed to kill the rest of his attackers. The veteran soldier, a sergeant who has seen action in many battles, was one of a group of SAS (Special Air Service) troops caught in a six-hour firefight with ISIS militants about six weeks ago on a patrol in eastern Afghanistan. The troops had just finished meeting with former Taliban fighters who had since switched side to the Afghan government when they were ambushed by the ISIS jihadis. The unit took refuge in a local farm and a six-hour firefight ensued. “The SAS thought they had seen their last day,” said a source quoted by the Daily Star. “They made a pact that they wouldn’t be taken alive and vowed to fight to the death. “Capture would mean torture and a filmed execution, and they weren’t prepared to let that happen. “They made every bullet count, and when they ran low on ammo they waited for the jihadis to get close enough so they could be killed with grenades or using rifles as clubs – that was when one of the SAS managed to kill a man with a spade.” The Star reported that some of the jihadis spoke English and threatened the Brits that they would decapitate them and send their heads back to their wives. The soldiers, meanwhile, radioed for help, but they didn’t know if the message got through to their base. At the last minute, with over half of the troops left with no ammunition, two U.S. Apache helicopter gunships showed up, the sight of which caused the jihadis to flee. The SAS men were then rescued by a U.S. Chinook helicopter. British special forces have been involved in many daring feats fighting in the U.S. coalition. In one notable operation in Syria, eight SAS troops dressed in burqas to disguise their identity, crossed into enemy territory and took out a top ISIS commander. Traveling in an ISIS signature Toyota pickup truck and posing as the wives of top ISIS fighters, the troops finessed their way into the heart of Raqqa — ISIS’s former capital — and located the commander’s headquarters. After confirming he was inside, they transmitted the coordinates of the house to a U.S. Air Force AWAC mission-control aircraft hovering thousands of feet above. The information was then relayed to a U.S. Reaper drone, which, moments later, sent a Hellfire missile to vaporize the commander and a number of his staff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- L- Meanwhile back in Canada, We call that spade a f***** shovel.

(John McCall/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP) In the coming days, we will hear a familiar profile about the Broward County school shooter. (No, I will not name him, for the reason below.) He was mentally deficient. He was a loner. He expressed violent tendencies. And likely, if the pattern holds, he was prescribed some kind of drugs to control his behavior. But there is also a media behavioral profile for these situations, and it is perfectly matched to the desires of a deranged person who would like to go out in a blaze of glory. Here is what the media coverage conveys to every potential shooter out there: 1. You will be famous We will not only know your name, we will know you by all three of your names. We will know how you were brought up, your supposed grievances, and why it is our fault that you did what you did. And every time this happens again, you will be referenced as to how you rank in the pantheon of such atrocities. 2. The world will come to a stop for you and talk about nothing else for days You won’t just be famous, you will be the most important person in the world. CNN will even stop fantasizing about Donald Trump being a Russian sleeper agent for a few days and focus solely on you. In fact, the president will have to comment on you, and we will do our best to blame him for you. Congress and state legislatures will hold special hearings and politicians will propose laws and point to your actions as the reason. What else are you ever going to do in your pathetic life that would make you this prominent? 3. A school is the target that will get you the most attention Sure, church shootings get attention, and so do Vegas concert shootings—but all the most famous mass shooters, the ones whose names come immediately to mind? They hit schools. And the media even makes up scary statistics about schools, like the one they are using now about there being 18 school shootings this year alone. And don’t worry that you’re getting lumped in with things like suicide in a car in a school parking lot. Nobody remembers those names. It just shows how eager we are to hype anything that has to do with a gun even coming close to a school. 4. You should use an AR-15; they are the most dangerous and cool Despite our rush to blame this all on the NRA, we know you aren’t a normal gun owner, collector, sportsman—nor do you know anything, really about guns. (That’s okay, neither do we.) We know you haven’t done the research on velocity, caliber, reloading ease, or any of those pesky details (like I said, neither have we). We’ll just highlight whatever gun freaks us out the most, the one we will talk about all the time, and let you take it from there. Just know, it will boost your ratings on our notoriety scale, and maybe buy you an extra day or two of coverage. 5. No one will shoot back at you at a school and we'll make damned sure it stays that way! Pssssst. Hey, buddy, did you know schools are Gun Free Zones? Some gun nuts are trying to change that, but don’t worry. We will mock them for the fanatics they are, and make sure that their effort to, say, have a veteran who works in the school have access to a gun, is shot down as the folly that it is. We will mock the idea mercilessly - how could more guns mean less violence? Set up a situation for a crossfire? I mean, how is that even logical? You might get hurt! But don't worry. It won't happen. We got this. https://pjmedia.com/trending/5-things-terrible-media-communicates-every-pot ential-school-shooter/ [https://static.pjmedia.com/trending/user-content/51/files/2018/02/AP_18045 822769401.sized-770x415xt.jpg] 5 Terrible Things the Media Communicates to Every Potential School Shooter< https://pjmedia.com/trending/5-things-terrible-media-communicates-every-pot ential-school-shooter/> pjmedia.com How the MSM encourages the desires of a deranged person who wants to go out in a blaze of glory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- L-The MMSM became a truly mass media by the mid-to late 1960s in the USA. In competitive markets as L.A./NYC et al, news editors learned "if it bleeds it leads". In effect their sensationalized coverage of gruesome events gained not only a wider audience by guaranteed those who psych. makeup wanted to make what they felt was a miserable, meaningless life. Who wanted to take out their anger on the world around them. To make others suffer as they suffer. Now rewarded by, not by just the proverbial 15 minutes of fame; but mass media would make the not famous, the unimportant, seem both. A marriage made in hell. To cover up the motivational role such coverage plays in inspiring copy-cat crimes. The MSM decided that couching their fanning of the flames of chaos, could be covered up by claims of moral superiority and righteousness. They'd campaign for civilian disarmament. Facts/arguments, scientific method isn't a value in vying for audience numbers, ad dollars and winning the media wars. Ad psychology already proved they could manipulate with imagery. Power/money/self-righteousnees beat out truth. The hypothesis of the role the electronic mass media plays in the then new phenomena of Skyjacking was discovered by a psychiatrist hired by the FBI to figure out what made them tick. He interviewed the ones who survived. At that time explained his findings to some TV news editors whose moral constraint reduced the sensationalism but still allowed minimal coverage. (Pierre Berton interviewed him for his show. It was a profound insight.) Skyjacking dropped precipitously. Now the Cult. Marxist ideology widely adopted over decades discards the sacred, the moral value of searching for the truth. It allows the MMSM to be wilfully blind as Cable news struggles to survive and retain relevance, as the digital world is literally eating their lunch. Who can provide direct access to the delegated power that is elected representative self-government. Cult. Marxism regards power in the hands of the citizenry as an obstacle to them taking political power. Yes, it is and was always designed to prevent the concentration of political power in the hands of a small self-appointed dictatorship. That applies to information as much as the tools to restrain tyranny, to prevent tyrannical government. Common-Law nations formed under the idea of Natural Rights/preceding the existing of government was viewed as the anti-dote to tyranny. For decades now a totalitarian minded mass media has restricted, has selected news coverage, to support their sale to/for political/financial power, to the highest bidder. (Now print media in Canada is begging the Fed. Liberals for a public money bailout like the CBC, who fawns as lapdogs over the hand that feeds them.) The moribund MMSM believe they can prevail or they'll take down liberal democracy/Republics along with them. ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V17 #433 *********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@bogend.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@bogend.ca Moderator email: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@bogend.ca List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@bogend.ca FAQ list: http://www.canfirearms.ca/Skeeter/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://www.canfirearms.ca CFDigest Archives: http://www.canfirearms.ca/archives To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next four lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@bogend.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
