Criminals have far more access to guns today than in the history of this country, and that is frightening to America. You cannot live in America as the Wild West.

Actualy the "Wild West" where a very high proportion of the population was armed, was much more peaceable than the eastern cities, even at that time, which even then had some early forms of gun control.

Most of Israeli's tote weapons by law of the land and the population there is much more likely to suffer a nail or chard injury from a bomb than they are a gunshot wound by a criminal.
