“Does Israel have a Second Amendment?”

No, not really anything similar. It follows the English model (being that it was effectively run by England for some time before formation)

Not sure why it's a barf, Israel has highly restrictive gun laws. There is no individual right to be armed, permits are issued based on necessity, which Israel has a lot of. And with a preference toward toward LEO and military veterans where there's no direct necessity. As in living east of the green line in indian territory, being a bus or taxi driver or a security guard. It's not a model the US should emulate.

But there are a lot of firearms around, more than liberals in the US would tolerae, and the murder rate is lower than the US. Despite the number of firearms immediately available for use. Which though not an arguement for Israeli style ownership laws, is certainly an argument for an armed citizenry.
