Wasn't there a time, back in - hmmm - 1947 or 1948 - when the government in Palestine disarmed the Jews?
And didn't they hide their arms from that government?
Why in the world would ANY civilian want a gun...

[head smack]
Palestine 1947
"....during the British mandate, the authorities always prohibited the possession of weapons, and confiscated all that they found..."

So Israel heavily restricts gun carrying, and Switzerland removed the ammunition for their militia issued weapons years ago.

You have to redo this every year. Even after all that most gun license requests are denied unless you are a settler in the occupied west bank. They don't want armed yahoos in Israel proper. BTW for years the Swiss were not allowed to carry ammo for their issued militia rifle and now even Switzerland is requiring most militia members to keep their rifles locked up in official armories when not on official military service.

The NRA's habit of saying 'but look at these other countries' is falling into the old reality trap. Reality says otherwise.
Israel don't have a 2nd amendment, so who cares?

Amen...

If some nut is showing signs of instability they either:

a. Don't have a gun

b. More likely to be spotted beforehand since said guns come with responsibilities that are enforced(i.e. Military service, yearly testing, ect..)

And they likely place limits on the amounts and kinds of guns as well as ammo. i.e. Feel you need 20 guns to protect yourself, get a court to go along with that. "lost" your gun and need another(prove it).

Go on now.
What matters is the untruth the NRA put out there.

conservatives and gun nuts are liars. I never believe anything any self professed conservative writes. It is usually make believe to justify their beliefs.

Something to keep in mind is gun laws or not ,In Israel there are 18-21 year olds walking around with loaded rifled virtually everywhere you go in the country. I don't think most americans would feel comfortable if members of the Us military walked around heavily armed off base the way Israelis do
