Israeli Gun Policy

[gerhard1]

While looking up something I ran across here a few moments ago, I happened upon this article, asking why Israel has so few mass shootings compared to the US.

Sadly this won’t ever happen in America. If it did we wouldn’t have the issues we do. Heck, if the 2A was being honored the way it was intended we likely wouldn’t have had these mass shootings we have had. But we all know the politicians will never seek actual solutions to our problems. They only want more gun, er people control.

More Americans are killed by drugs in recent years than guns yet the Democrats want guns outlawed. They're beating the wrong horse.

Yeah. The author knows a guy who managed to get through the very stringent process of applying for a gun permit even though he didn't technically fall into any of the required categories. The rules themselves are Tough, but it looks like you can get around them by convincing the government that you're a special case.

I just wasn't sure we wanted that in America, but I suppose that times change and we change with them.

Hurray for restrictions and permitting...as long as you’re part of the class of citizens that is allowed to own them. We should adopt their system.

The take I got was they didn't take it all that seriously.
