My rich Jew friend I've known since high school was trying to impress a female who wanted to go shooting with an AR. He of course didn't know shit so he asked me to advise him. After showing him the basics of gun safety and sight picture, loading, charging etc., I told him he could borrow an AR. I told him he needed at least on black rifle of his own anyway, and a few thousand rounds of ammo. He was cool to the idea and didn't even ask the usual questions of someone in the market for an AR.
I further implored him to get one, saying that virtually every Israeli owns some version of an M16 or Uzi, determined never to be a victim again and he of all people should feel that way.
The range session didn't transpire but after a school shooting he unloaded on me about AR15s and pretty much blamed me and people like me that owned them as the reasons the kids were dead.
He was also a rabid Democrat and Obama lover who kept his widescreen locked on CNN blasting their propaganda. I haven't spoken to him since the 2015 Trump win over Hillary. There is no fucking way one could change him to vote Republican. It would be the equivalent of him becoming a Muslim.
