Lawsy, no!/SAAAAARC
Hitler was big on “common sense” gun legislation (confiscation), too.
It is top priority of BDS to take focus away from Terrorist violence and focus on Israeli violence. They couldn’t find “racist” violence committed by Israelis. So apparently they now want to focus on allegations of sexist violence.
The goal has zero to do with racism or sexism and everything to do with keeping the focus ... and the debate away from Terrorism.
Whether they win the gun control debate or not, they succeed when it is the debate and not Terrorism.
I have looked at the numbers in Europe and around the world.
There is no correlation to murder rates and firearms ownership.
There may be a correlation to murder rates with guns and firearms ownership, but not to total murder rates, and that is what counts.
Leftists lie all the time.
Italy also recently relaxed their laws so that the common folk could more easily purchase ARs.
Seems the countries that are suffering the worst due to weaponized refugee migrations are going the right way on this. America is getting it wrong. Trump’s forthcoming bumpstock ban just being on small example of that.
The facts are:
(1) In the absence of weapons in the public sphere, male criminals know they are almost 100% certain to overpower female victims, even if the criminals obey gun laws, and
(2) Criminals don't obey laws, so gun restrictions will leave law-abiding victims disarmed while they are facing armed criminals.
As for suicide, those who commit gun suicide want to succeed. They will simply choose another reliable method if they cannot get a gun. The anti-gun globalist leaders are evil, and their followers are morons.
What is OECD?
..................
the appeal claims that 40% of all women are murdered in Israel by handguns compared to only 28% in the OECD
Interesting. The latest murder rates I could find for the OECD was 2015, 3.6 per hundred thousand. Israel's murder rate was 1.75. Half the OECD rate. Not sure how much it matters to the victim how you're killed. Reading Israeli news, I don't read about a rash of murdered women.
Ridiculous. This is horrendous misuse of the language. I think the author is trying to say, out of the cases of women murdered in Israel, 40% are done via handgun.
Instead, the author has managed to assert that 40% of all women in Israel are murdered! (with handguns)
Accoding to the article, veterans of IDF infantry units ability to obtain personal handgun permits has caused the uptick in womens death. So are the IDF veterans committing the murders or is the author full of shite.
...ten different organizations say that a recent uptick of murders are the direct result of a decision by Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan to allow veterans of IDF infantry units to obtain personal handgun permits.
IOW, there is no connection between those two things. Thanks Eleutheria5.
