Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture is a discredited 2000 book by historian Michael A. Bellesiles about American gun culture, an expansion of a 1996 article he published in the Journal of American History. Bellesiles, then a professor at Emory University, used fabricated research to argue that during the early period of US history, guns were uncommon during peacetime and that a culture of gun ownership did not arise until the mid-nineteenth century.

Although the book was awarded the prestigious Bancroft Prize in 2001, it later became the first work for which the prize was rescinded, following a decision of Columbia University's Board of Trustees that Bellesiles had "violated basic norms of scholarship and the high standards expected of Bancroft Prize winners."[1]

Where were all these hot chicks with M-16s slung from their shoulder walking down the streets and sitting in cafes we're so used to see on pictures from Israel?

MAKE IT EASIER TO ARM AMERICANS NOW.
"Standing with Israel" Is Not Enough Mr. President!

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership says, don't repeat Israel's error and wait for an attack. "Death to America" is still a thing. Joe Biden said, "We stand with Israel," and JPFO says that's insufficient. Under wartime duress, Israel is now re-arming its citizens, following years of weakening their right to keep and bear arms. America must learn from this bloody lesson. "If there had been more armed women at that concert, there might be fewer dead," said consultant Beth Terry, Certified Speaking Professional, a staunch friend of JPFO. "Death to America" is and has been on the lips of these treacherous villains for decades. Follow foreign news sources—you'll hear people cheering the attack on Israel, just like they did after the attack on 9-11, as brainwashed college students join in, some in Australia chanting, "Gas the Jews". We, here at home, face a serious risk. Promote marksmanship training nationwide now. Open all government ranges to full-fledged civilian marksmanship, required by law, 10 USC §4309. JPFO tells President Biden, don't get caught with our pants down. Don't just "stand" there, act.

"The right to keep and bear arms is natural and universal. The Israeli people have every right to own and carry firearms to defend themselves and we applaud the Israeli government for retracting its tyranny and encourage it to continue", said James Jones, Projects Director and Sentinel editor at JPFO. Israel once encouraged citizens to own and carry. Gradual infringement cut this natural right to self-defense and arms ownership. Danger is what you get when a government denies civil rights. In light of the recent terrorist attack, Israel has relaxed its gun laws by expediting permits, allowing telephone permit applications and increasing ammo-purchase maximums from 50 rounds to 100; however, they have retained waiting periods and prohibitions on long guns. This is a good first step, but a small one.

America needs to remove any restrictions on peaceful possession of arms— infringements—banned by the Constitution. Officials who act to maintain infringements need to face charges for aggravated infringement—putting innocent lives in danger. Denial of civil rights is a crime, 18 USC §242. Aiding our enemies by disarming us must stop.

But it seems that since then the general populace has been disarmed. That's frankly insane in a place like Israel. Why would the population agree to that? Are they all libtarded to death? I don't like to use the term libtard, but it seems perfectly appropriate here.

Who are those folks?
