“Don’t quite see the connection there, “
Well, if civilian ownership was generally permitted, the bad guys would get guns.
Recall, we started at a different point than the USA, where the bad guys already have guns.
What I don’t see is the connection between vehicular terrorism and civilian gun ownership. Sounds like large vehicles & construction equipment should be closely guarded.
“Bad guys’ guns start out as good guys’ guns” is often used by gun controllers here; ownership creates supply for criminals, they preach. But it is now a requirement of responsible gun ownership to secure them in a safe.
In 1776 the British were the bad guys and they had guns, but so did Americans revolting against British rule. BTW I studied the 1948 War for Independence and Britain was IMO no friend of Jews fighting for their own state. But when sufficient numbers of Israelis were bearing arms, their survival became possible.
Americans are derided by other countries for distrusting our government. Well, it’s true. Good that we have the right to bear arms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
Am Israel Chai!
