MK Moshe Feiglin: Citizens Carrying Firearms Prevent Terror

Ted Belman. I was thinking the same thing. At a minimum, all bus drivers should carry guns.

“If two armed and trained citizens had been on the bus yesterday in Tel Aviv, the terror attack would have ended in a completely different way –  or it wouldn’t have happened at all,” said MK Moshe Feiglin after Wednesday’s terror attack in which 10 were wounded, three seriously. “But Israel’s policy is to reduce the number of citizens licensed to bear arms as much as possible. The main excuse is the murders that have been perpetrated by owners of licensed guns. But the truth is just the opposite. In 2013, 13 murders were perpetrated with licensed firearms. 12 of those murders were carried out by security guards or police. Their weapons belonged to the organization for which they worked or to the State! They weren’t privately owned at all,” Feiglin said.

“How many tractors running people over, knife-wielding terrorists or other murderers and robbers have been neutralized by responsible citizens bearing licensed firearms?” Feiglin asked.  “So if weapons-bearing citizens help to secure the public domain, shouldn’t the State encourage responsible citizens to practice shooting and carry weapons? Why does it do just the opposite?

The answer is that the State of Israel is not increasing our liberties; it is reducing them. Dictatorship confiscate citizens’ weapons. ‘The State alone will take care of all your security needs’.

In the past, there were 300,000 citizens licensed to bear weapons in Israel. That number has now been cut in half. As a member of the Knesset Interior Committee, I was able to stop the trend. But we have to understand: Without liberty, we will not enjoy security,” Feiglin concluded.

    I analyzed your personality for the benefit of objective viewers and to add to my study of social psychology. It’s all grist to the mill.

    Since you’re into practicing psychiatry without either the training or being duly licensed to practice and diagnose others try this on for size. See what you can do with it?

    Unlike you I have no fear of death especially if it’s yours.

    Unlike you I have no conscience when it pertains to my enemies and those I hate. Whether you believe me or not I can and would crush you like the stinking maggot you are and not miss a beat in heart rhythm and no pangs of remorse.

    I can’t say I can match the hero of the sniper movie in the number of Kills but I have done what he didn’t and that was faced my enemy up close and personal and survived. You see your own pitiful death under every crack and cranny under every rock under your bed. Every shadow for you is imminent death and it scares you shitless.. Rather than face your own demons and innate cowardice you create enemies and threats everywhere. I am your alter-ego and it scares the crap out of you as well. I am what you can never be so you need to try and bring me down to your level of being an inconsequential and useless microbe like yourself.

    You ain’t man enough for that Maxie patsy!!!!

    Max so many words directed towards me 😛

    Max you may think whatever your pathetic sick mind wants to re: Me- but get one thing clear beneath the fog that seems to be where your brain should be: I am have never am not and will never be helpless or afraid.

    I did not direct my words to you, this is your object oriented view of human beings. I analyzed your personality for the benefit of objective viewers and to add to my study of social psychology. It’s all grist to the mill.

    What is absolutely clear to me is that you are afraid in daily life , you stated it explicitly and implicitly that the perception of danger is a one to one bonding in your mind with fear. Instead of changing yourself which is the growth process you seek to change the nature of reality (which of course is not possible ) and to try to control the behaviour of other humans (which are objects to you) in order to buffer and protect your self from your overriding emotions of fear and anxiety.
    So there you have yet another reason to repress other humans – their natural freedom and free speech is a danger to your emotional security. This is shown in your display of anger and threats against others which is your primary defense mechanism.
    Your bluster is an ego defense, which is to be expected.
    The key to your freedom is to learn to conquer yourself, not others. You can never win on the course you are on, should you suppress the entire human race your inner fear will still consume you.

    Max so many words directed towards me 😛

    But I understand that it makes you afraid. I suppose that if you find yourself, a helpless elderly man on a bus with a knife wielding terrorist coming to kill you, the only thing you can do is quiver in fear and call Bibi or some authority and wait to be rescued

    Max you may think whatever your pathetic sick mind wants to re: Me- but get one thing clear beneath the fog that seems to be where your brain should be: I am have never am not and will never be helpless or afraid. Neither are part of my DNA and my psychological personality profile.

    Those characteristics seem to make up your sick frightened paranoiac profile though and all you seem to be doing is projecting your profile onto me. Sorry like that proverbial glove, just won’t fit….. Seems you forgot to take your Meds again so take a Prozac or 2 or 3 Shit take a whole bottle. 🙂

  4. @ Max:

    Forgot to take your Prozac again?????

    So far only your stupid big mouth needs to be put in restraints but coming to the conclusion that the rest of your pathetic paranoid self should be as well.

    I’m surprised they let you out in such a condition.
