You should probably just give up on any firearm effectively that isnā€™t from a neutral country or one that hasnā€™t been to war.

I have to imagine you know that the reason people oppose Israel is not simply because they've been to war.

Fully aware, but itā€™s not going to stop me from buying any of their firearms. Turkey hates its own citizens owning firearms yet people buy their guns all the time. The virtue signaling is absolutely useless in my mind.

Brother understand something, if someone says they dont smoke cigs because its bad for their health doesnt mean theyre ā€œvirtue signalingā€ when they drink soda or have a glass of wine from time to timeā€¦Its just someone doing their best. Now if they said that they live a perfectly healthy lifestyle then that would be a lie but no one is saying thatā€¦ Get off the internet a little

virtue signaling

You guys just go to that word for everything. Some people are taking a stance against a specific thing. Everyone gets to choose what they are "fighting" for and not spending your money is one way.

Iā€™m pretty sure Magnum research came up with the idea but worked Isreali weapon industries to actually make it work. IWI did the heavy lifting in design and manufacturing early on.
