Why did the IRA have a boner for the AR-18?

"Pretty much" nothing. They absolutely were. Doesn't mean they didn't have legitimate grievances with Britain.

This might be an AR-18 during the Yugo-wars

Have you done some research when they got the Ar-18s and where they handed them out?

...and they used them. They used everything they were given. "My Little Armalite" could refer to either rifle.

What are we, Facebook niggers wondering why the Muslim yelling Allah Akbar is a terrorist while cracker with purple hair pretending to be the joker isn't ?

Terrorist just means politically motivated.

Not to mention the possibility of a bullet ricocheting.

so she should keep her finger off the trigger because she doesn't intend to kill him, but she very clearly does. I think you don't know what trigger discipline is eurocuck

also pseudointellectial ricochet wish wash. a good laugh

IRA = Hamas for white people. Legitimate grievences sure, but shitty tactics and even shittier overall goals.

My coworker at my old job popped two paddies back in the troubles. He was an old Englishman. Wore a trench-coat and carried an umbrella everywhere. Cool guy.

>think she doesn’t want to kill him
Wew lad

She's ready to fire if he tries anything. Honestly she should have the rifle shouldered and ready to fire.

Daily reminder that terrorism works to accomplish political agendas.

>Irish
>white

Is there anything more pitiable than an Irish nationalist?

A british one...

Why don't you?

>shittier overall goals
yeah you know, wanting to be self-governing and kick out murderous oppressive government sure is a shitty goal huh?
neck yourself, loyalist cunt.

>shitty tactics
It worked. They're pardoned, are a legit political party, are in a coalition government or something. Basically the closest thing to independence you could get back in those days.

Because the rifle was seen as a symbol of freedom, a way to get the crown off your back.

A nationalist in any South American country

Better question: why don't YOU have a boner for the AR-18?

Half the branches were godawful communists and just compare Ireland's gun laws with NI's

I love how the first instinct of a triggered *r*sh is to cry Britain as if they're not British themselves. Everyone from those shitty little islands are the same, blaming each other for oppressing them.

>Why did the IRA have a boner for the AR-18?
They would have liked any modern rifle honestly. At the start of independence they stole rifles from the brits to use. It was sort of one of those reasons why America has a second amendment so you're not starting from scratch like that. If you look at how the Irish were treated it makes the American cause of independence almost look like it was over a petty argument comparatively.
I've never heard of that, and while I'm not familiar with the AR18 mechanics I would assume it is a logistics issue where they were likely saving them for a larger standing battle if they were better quality, or depending on mechanical issues the 18 may have just been easier to maintain and use. Or maybe they just gave them to people that were better shots. I'm not too familiar with the subject. Find it quite fascinating though.

You do realize they're likely more federal than states rights? They had to work out international diplomatic deals. Parts of those deals were disarmament. Top down approach means their laws on that for individuals is going to tend to suck.

Do you even read posts you respond too?

Yeah England didn't literally subjugate the Irish for 300 years, cause a famine, strip the Irish of their rights, deny Irish citizens education, and definitely didnt oppress religious dissidents to the point where Protestants where gunning down Catholics for being Catholic, and vise versa.

Aren’t all revolutions politically motivated?

Depends on how you define where politics end and another grievance (usually religion) begins, the Afghan Muj (not the Taliban but the anti-soviet fighers) didn't really care about the fact the govt. was communist per se they opposed it because of the state-enforced atheism.

Same with the original IRA and the PIRA as well really, people in the NI counties were just as Irish as people from the south (except the Ulster Scots but fuck them) but many of the northerners were Prods instead of Catholic thanks to many, many years of Anglican and other Prod missionaries and evangelism, and the Irish of the time were highly religious people that felt that their religion was being usurped and being forcefully replaced with that of Englishmen.

Oppression narratives are rarely true, and more based in shaping ethno-national identities than on truth desu.

Both the Irish and the Brits had a certain collective will-to-power over a certain area, and they were ready to kill and die for that territory.

Reminder that the IRA were Marxists who allied themselves with Jihadists

Reminder that the remnants of the IRA sitting in Irish parliament are cultural Marxists advocating for African immigrants at this very moment.

Britain doesn't include the island of Ireland and thus Irishmen aren't British.

British Isles, Great Britain being the big one, all the others are Lesser Britains :^)

The catholic irish only started being treated somewhat equally in the second half of the 19th century and were still poor as fuck and being discriminated against.
Same bullshit continued on in Northern Ireland till it boiled over and people got killed.

If i have a will to power over your house, does that mean i'm just as justified in trying to take your house from you with force as you are in defending yourself?

They were treated worse than anywhere in continental Europeans were, and they went to those areas to fight in WWI to go back to their island to be treated worse again.
Are you pretending to be retarded on purpose?

are you drunk

Some executive at Armalite was probably an Irish terrorist sympathizer.

The folding stock.

Having a rifle with a folding stock is convenient if you're an insurgent and you want to pull a gun out from behind your coat or inside your backpack and ambush a British patrol.

The reconquista was a genocide on Moors and Jews and the reason Spainiards never got over it was because most were glad to see the foreigners expelled from their lands. Also you seem to be mentioning a lot of wars that really aren't genocide, just wars. How does this justify a foreign entity dictating,killing and bullying an entire ethnic group?

I'm pretty sure it was the mod if remember correctly that sympathized with the catholic persecution and they would send weapons to lybia where Gaddafi would then smuggle the in or just straight to Ireland. I think the 1968 firearms control act also worked to stop the smuggling of weapons to the ira by making ffl transfers nessicary to avoid straw purchases states away. I'm missing details but there's some interesting stuff if you look deeper

The '68 GCA has no impact in international sales, moron. That' all ITAR shit.

It wasn't about itar nigger it was about issues where guns were bought in the midwest or West coast amd sent east to be smuggled out on the east coast. It was more. About knowing where guns are when they are sold and making straw purchases harder cross state lines

Also received a lot of AKs from Libya

>And of course the casual murdering and extortion of the oira/pira/inla/cira/nira,rira.iplo,uda,uff,uvf,rhc carried out by savages in northern Ireland against their own

And Bin Laden's plan to bankrupt America through an endless war in the ME is going pretty well too

Any tactics that involves the intentional murder of innocents are shitty, regardless of effectiveness

Two wrongs etc etc

The horrific actions of an elite doesn't justify murdering civilians, if the IRA only targeted the British Army it would be a different story

The murder of Ann Ogilby, also known as the "Romper Room murder", took place in Sandy Row, south Belfast, Northern Ireland on 24 July 1974. It was a punishment killing, carried out by members of the Sandy Row women's Ulster Defence Association (UDA) unit. At the time the UDA was a legal Ulster loyalist paramilitary organisation. The victim, Ann Ogilby a Protestant single mother of four, was beaten to death by two teenaged girls after being sentenced to a "rompering" (UDA slang term for a torture session followed by a fatal beating) at a kangaroo court. Ogilby had been having an affair with a married UDA commander, William Young, who prior to his internment, had made her pregnant. His wife, Elizabeth Young, was a member of the Sandy Row women's UDA unit. Ogilby had made defamatory remarks against Elizabeth Young in public regarding food parcels. Eight weeks after Ogilby had given birth to Young's son, the women's unit decided that Ogilby would pay for both the affair and remarks with her life. The day following the kangaroo court "trial", they arranged for the kidnapping of Ogilby and her six-year-old daughter, Sharlene, outside a Social Services office by UDA man Albert "Bumper" Graham.

A group of UDA women then followed the minibus which brought Ogilby and Sharlene to a disused bakery in Hunter Street, Sandy Row; this empty building had been converted into a UDA club and "romper room". After Sharlene was sent by Graham to a shop to buy sweets, Ogilby was made to sit on a bench and a hood placed over her head. Two teenagers, Henrietta Cowan and Christine Smith, acting on the orders previously given them by the unit's leader, Elizabeth "Lily" Douglas, proceeded to savagely beat Ogilby to death with bricks and sticks. As Ogilby screamed and pleaded for her life, Sharlene, who had already returned from the shop, overheard her mother being beaten and killed.

you support this?

All the northern Ireland paramilitaries were criminal gangs that preyed on their own and extorted maimed and tortured civilians. Keep sucking that faded propaganda tit OP

They were communists to boot. I used to think the IRA were much like American Revolutionaries then I found out they were the other kind. Feels Bad man.

The struggle never ends right comrade? One of these days the proletariat will finally get it.

Definitely terrorists. Fighting an occupation force by all and any means at their disposal. But then, all rebels are terrorists. Ready to hand back USA to the British Crown yet, rebel scum? I hear you have even developed weapons of mass destruction and used them against civilians, repeatedly - when do we start the War Criminal court proceedings? And remember, "I was only following orders" does not cut it unless you are jewish.

They're both either scrawny or obese alcoholics with incomprehensible accents, literally indistinguishable.

that's the point, there was no Irish genocide - just a long raft of shitty behaviour which was pretty much nothing compared to the shitshow going on in mainland europe.

Political public meeting in progress. The tempers are up, people are hostile, but nothing is happening.

The police appear. In armored cars. They dislike the tone of the event and open fire. Many people, all unarmed, are mowed down.

Would you just wait for the local political leaders to make half hearted excuses, then impose curfews and house to house searches? Or would you consider becoming a terrorist?

still waiting for that united ireland that was promised, instead of you know gerry adams and a "former" IRA commander, who died recently, to join the government. hope the brexit border problem causes issues so i can join the IRA as an informant for MI6/PSNI or even the UVF

- "Quick, open up with the HMG before they start writing letters of protest!"

Our own little rebel force assassinated occupation officers, stole, sabotaged, cooperated with foreign governments and did commando raids. But we were on the winning side after that war ended so only the occupants and their collaborators and the women who slept with either were persecuted by law afterwards. It is nice to be on the winning side. You don't have to be on the right or wrong side as long as your side wins.

Bricks kill people or cause serious brain damage, and they are basically causing a riot at a time where anything could have happened. bloody sunday was just a false flag attack so the british army wouldnt become irrelevant and to keep NI british by creating the provos as controlled oposition
