Excuse me but the reports that veronica cited themselves stated that only the government class is allowed to keep firearms in their homes.

The NRA conflicts with that slightly. At any rate, you are mis-characterizing the argument. You can assert that I wouldn't accept "500 sources" but this is simply hyperbole. Her own sources refute her statements. Perhaps you can help her.

That is not what they say and you know it. Go dig up a bone...

Israelis are allowed to carry guns. Here is an URL and a relevant, in context, quote:

In Israel and Switzerland, for example, a license to possess guns is available on demand to every law-abiding adult, and guns are easily obtainable in both nations. Both countries also allow widespread carrying of concealed firearms, and yet, admits Dr. Arthur Kellerman, one of the foremost medical advocates of gun control, Switzerland and Israel "have rates of homicide that are low despite rates of home firearm ownership that are at least as high as those in the United States."

The Cato Institute, I'm sure we can all agree, is a credible organization. :)
