I'm not talking here about reservists, security officers, or anything like that. I'm talking about the average person.
From Wikipedia:
“Mexico has strict gun laws. Mexican citizens and legal residents may purchase new non-military firearms for self-protection or hunting only after receiving approval of a petition to the Defense Ministry, which performs extensive background checks."
and
“It is forbidden in Israel to own any kind of firearm, including air pistols and rifles, without a firearms license."
"The regulation for gun ownership became stricter following the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. Gun ownership in Israel is considered a privilege and not a right."
Don't take this personal, but I don't totally trust wikipedia. As I understand it, anybody can change any information on a particular entry on wikipedia.
I could be wrong about that. I just find it fascinating in light of the hysteria we're currently subjected to when it comes to the gun control "debate".
