Here's chum. Let's see some dorsal fins, please.

[Mr. Blond]

Oy...

Channel 7 publishing JTA stuff again? Some of this is as bad as the Daily Backward.

[Olog-hai]

Or Ha’aretz, for that matter.

If given access to full-auto, I would follow these guidelines, for the full-auto only.

For everything else, I’m following the Constitution.

[Windflier]

The author is mistaken. There’s a right to bear arms on every square inch of the planet.

Some nations choose to recognize that right, and some don’t.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, and if we had Israel's demographics, we'd have a lower crime rate, too.

[sourcery]

Check the statistics for Wyoming. And also Wyoming’s gun laws.

Do the same for Plano, Texas.

According to the peer-reviewed research in Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense with a Gun, firearms in the US are used defensively about 2.5 million times per year. About a quarter of the time, the incidents occurred away from home.

But in order to compare apples to oranges, let's restate the numbers above as rates per 100,000 gun owners:

The rate in the US at which the private use of guns save lives is 841.8 lives saved annually per 100,000 private gun owners.

The rate in the US at which the private use of guns costs lives is 33.78 lives lost annually per 100,000 private gun owners.

So the cost benefit ratio is roughly a factor of 25: 25 lives are saved annually in the US per life lost due to the private ownership of guns.

I see some of the scenarios they gave there. Individuals can address such concerns by taking the next step from the CHL course, and that would be a tactical course. The CHL course only covers the very basics. The tactical course covers how to respond in specific situations.

[Hot Tabasco]

How is that possible?

Remove certain minority groups from the equation and I think we would see about a 70% drop in crime........

[Does so]

Assault knives need to be banned.

[exnavy]

BS article. Most Isreal citizens carry, I have been there and have seen.

[wastoute]

LOL. In Israel one has the right to NOT bear arms, at least when not on duty.

[ctdonath2]

Maybe not a recognized right, but is a compulsory duty.

Would the Left be content with mandatory training & carry? It would solve all their complaints.

[trebb]

They didn’t arise as we did with our Constitution. Yet, they seem to have plenty of citizens, even teachers, carrying weapons - if our 2nd Amendment wasn’t there, our own rulers would have disarmed us 50 years or more ago.....

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Stupid is as stupid does...

[Carry me back]

Didn’t read it. But Israel is a totally different country. A lot of things work there, that don’t here. Because we have corrupt politicians and a lot of people filled with hate towards other people. The liberal’s towards everyone. Israel is a nation that also , I guess has a much higher IQ average among the people.

[dila813]

well, either this story is right or the other story is right

remember all the stabbing attacks, only then did they start issuing private firearms, that was the story

Israeli official: Legally armed civilians have ‘part to play’ in wake of violence

[Caipirabob]

We're not Israel. Israel is a outpost of sanity beset by satan's butt licking foes on all sides. They are in a constant state of siege and their government reflects a survivalist mentality amongst a large family unit. Given their mutual values culture, it works.

America is a entirely different situation, although I think we've now become an occupied nation, very similar to pre-1776.

[libertylover]

Americans are 33 times more likely to kill each other with guns than Israelis. How is that possible?

Because Israelis don't live in the south side of Chicago?
