Gun owners sound off on Rabin assassination

A growing debate among gun owners is whether or not the gun

allegedly used to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak

Rabin could have shot blanks.

All have viewed the Kempler

video of Rabin's murder in Tel Aviv and have come to

different conclusions.

If you know anything about guns, feel free to weigh in on this

gun debate.

Here are two views:

1)

Cut it OUT, Already! We have PROVEN that your claims are

impossible.

1. It was impossible that Amir fired blanks, since blanks will

not operate his pistol.

2. Ballistic tests proved that the bullets extracted from Prime

Minister Rabin came from Amir's gun and no other.

3. Ballistic tests also proved that the cartridge cases found on

the scene were fired from Amir's gun and no other.

These are more than sufficient to disprove your preposterous

claims that someone OTHER than Amir shot Rabin.

2)

Depending on what type of blank is used, an automatic pistol may

or may not work after the FIRST shot.

Basically, the pistol's carriage goes back to allow another

cartridge to enter the firing chamber using a small amount of

the power generated by the firing of the powder of the previous

bullet.

The carriage and that includes the firing chamber as well as the

rifled tube, barrel, which the bullet travels through on its way

out, are easily moved by hand on pistols that require that for

the first shot. "Cocking". Other pistols are motivated by the

trigger mechanism.

I have owned or fired several guns and tried at one time or

another blanks and in some cases the pistol locked and in other

cases the pistol worked normally. DEPENDING FOR THE MOST ON THE

AMOUNT of powder used to load the cartridge and type of powder.

The amount of energy delivered to both the bullet and the

carriage depends on those things.

Compare it to a piston on a car's engine. If you put LOW OCTANE

gasoline the power generated by the igniting gasoline will be

low, if in turn you put HIGH OCTANE gasoline that will increase

and if you add nitro or sugar then that mixture will deliver a

huge increase on power and of course cause to blow a piston as

well... LOL

I observed the "flare" coming out of Amir's pistol at the time

he fired upon Rabin. The welding torch like flare I saw was huge

indicating either a very light bullet or no bullet in the shot.

The flare escaped forward as if there was no bullet using the

energy... Also shows that the type of powder use was not the

most modern either.

BOTTOM LINE Unless that pistol is tried by experts, not with the

government or involved on the case, using blank cartridges,

there is almost certainty that the pistol could have fired

blanks. Before the test firings the pistol MUST be disassembled

and checked thoroughly to ascertain that no component has been

tampered with. ALL components and dimensions must be checked

against the gun manufacturer's drawing and specifications

beforehand.

Since the Amir cartridges have been fired, there is no way to

assure that the test will repeat the actual shots. Being hand

loaded, anyone could have used different loads on those shots

and the ones remaining. In fact the remaining cartridges are

worthless for any action leading to ferreting the truth.

With all due respect to the fellow in the denial trail, there

are many experts on firearms other than those suspects working

with the SB's, that of course meaning the Shin Bet, not the

other thing, :-).

BULLETS EXTRACTED FROM RABIN Ballistic tests are easily tampered

with. A thousand and one ways. Again lets do some basic review

on how its is done. A bullet traveling through a gun's barrel

accepts a "signature" from the mechanical condition of the

barrel, rifling marks, barrel distortions, etc. It then enters

the target and is in most cases grossly deformed by the

impact/s. It is not difficult at all to fire again that pistol

against a dummy and generate samples comparably similar to those

extracted from Rabin, or claimed to have been extracted from

him. Going into basics. Another team of investigators must do

the testing.

My LITMUS test is predicated upon the fact that the criminals in

government here have been repeatedly involved on tampering with

evidence, fabricating files, performing frame ups, ordering and

effecting murders, participating on torture, conspiracies, etc.

Something or a lot is fishy on that murder. Besides the timing

and use of it that followed.
