Israelis in a firearms training class*

I try not to make this place a constant F___Joe Biden outrage echo chamber. It’s tiring, it’s exhausting, it’s boring and I refuse to let that stupid jackass occupy every moment of our lives. He will be gone soon enough.
Although…
At home in America, President Joe Biden’s “zero-tolerance” policy is being used like a fire blanket to suffocate neighborhood gun stores and industry businesses at a blistering pace, yet apparently regulatory compliance is ignored when applied to the administration’s ATF.
Now, one of the president’s latest gun control charades is making it difficult for one of America’s closest allies to defend itself from terrorists. It’s the latest signal that President Joe Biden and The White House are more interested in placating gun control activists who always want him to “do more,” over the livelihoods of law-abiding Americans and their highly regulated businesses.

However, as more and more Israelis continue taking up arms to defend their homes and communities and while still facing Hamas attacks, Israelis are finding the process of securing arms increasingly difficult. Unsurprisingly, it’s the Biden administration that is making it more difficult.
Delay and Deny
The Biden administration’s announced Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 90-day “pause” on firearm exports to certain countries was made with little forewarning, no input from industry and with practically no consideration for how it would impact the nearly 400,000 Americans who work in the firearm industry. The frustration was felt immediately last year once the decision was quietly announced and has only mounted since.

After initially being announced as a “90-day pause,” the BIS delay is ongoing. And coupled with other threats coming from the Biden administration, which blocked shipments of critical arms to Israel and has threatened to block even more, it’s not hard to understand why Israel was forced to take a new path.
Traditionally, U.S.-made arms made up the largest percentage of arms imported by the State of Israel. But in an announcement, the Israeli Defense Ministry said it could no longer rely on other countries for arms and ammunition imports – ostensibly the United States – and will begin purchasing large quantities of locally-produced arms and ammunition.

NOTE: A smart enterprising guy with gunsmithing, metallurgy and machining skills would put together a deal to move to Israel and set up a weapons manufacturing operation. If I were younger and healthier, I’d jump on the idea.
