| American gun control advocates have often praised Israel's firearm policies and held them up as an example for the United States to follow. | | The recent barbaric attacks on Israel by Hamas illustrates just how dangerous those strict gun control policies are. | | Thousands of Israeli citizens were left defenseless as an army of murderous terrorists descended on their homes and communities. | | Tragedies like the attacks in Israel are exactly why we must NEVER SURRENDER our God-given right to keep and bear arms. | | GOA will always speak up for law-abiding gun owners and vigorously oppose any efforts by anti-gun advocates to disarm Americans. | | But our task is made more difficult by the anti-gun media’s complete and total refusal to even mention the role Israel’s strict gun control laws played in exacerbating this tragedy. | | In the absence of media coverage, we’re asking our members to weigh in and help us gather valuable data that we can use to lobby Congress against future gun control laws. | | In the face of this tragedy, Israel is axing a lot of gun control and arming their citizens with “weapons of war” as quickly as possible. | | But the best time to do that would have been BEFORE the attacks. | | Once an emergency strikes, you can’t go back and undo the past… | | Unsurprisingly, the rabid anti-gunners on the Left have remained conspicuously silent about this part of Israel’s response to the crisis. | | Instead, their push to ban what they deem “weapons of war” has continued unabated. | | Such gun control laws are not only a tyrannical infringement on the Second Amendment… | | …but they also leave the average citizen defenseless in times of crisis. | | How ironic is it that the far-Left lawmakers who openly sympathize with the Hamas terrorists are the ones labeling you a “hate criminal” and calling for you to be completely disarmed. | | Gun control failed Israel, John. | | Our politicians need to learn from this horrific tragedy and immediately cease their efforts to disarm law-abiding Americans. |
