So the WaPo trots out the thoroughly disproven “Mexican Drug Gang Violence is the fault of lax American firearms laws” canard again the other day. Unsurprisingly, the gunbigots over at FireDogLake picked up the story and proudly paraded around in their ignorance with it.
What was slightly surprising though was the swiftness the community over at FDL came a conclusion to as who was tryuly at fault for the drug gang violence:
The Jews!
Ya know, if you?re going to blame the brown people, blame the Israelis that manufacture a lot of the AKs, too.
Kris’ train of thought, if you can call it that, is that the Israelis manufacture Galil rifles, which have a design elements similar to the AK, and since they make a lot of them, those must be the AK’s being found being used by the drug gangs in Mexico.
Yeah, I know that that level of stupid usually causes flash cavitation, but somehow he survived it.
Wait…I thought the Finns make Valmets, and the Israelis make Galils. Both are AK-based, but hey…
I think the only countries in the western hemisphere that actually make AK-pattern rifles are the US (semi-only) and Venezeula. (And if Hugo isn’t making them, he sure bought a sh*t load). Oh, and maybe Cuba. But I doubt the Castros are exporting much.
But cute little socialist Pugsly couldn’t possibly be responsible for anything bad, ever.
It was Galil. My mistake. Fixed.
I try to avoid FireDogLake; the level of stupidity and reality-impairment there is both legendary and awe-inspiring.
If they were truly liberals, they’d be standing up for Israel, the most liberal country in the Middle East. Instead they stand with the Palestinians, the guys who stand for violence, oppression of women, death for homosexuals, and sharia. I guess it’s progress to go back to a 5th century mindset.
