I suppose there are some folks who thought that, of all places, Israel would be a self defense proponents dream. Gun control is a serious problem(I could say issue but to me it's a problem) there too. I'm sure someone will expand/expound on the subject.

Israel is certainly behind the average in that department.
You practically have to be a business owner and handle cash on a daily basis to get a handgun permit.
Even if you are a legal firearm owner you only have right to buy a few dozen rounds annually.

Not really much. Israel should consider whether law abiding adults should be allowed to be armed in their home or, horrors, in public. Given the threat level. For those interested, an old version of the laws, which I believe have been loosened slightly.

Firearms in Israel

People of the Gun

I guess they had tightened gun ownership rules since I last visited there in the mid 90s. When I was there, it seemed that everyone who was walking around had an m16 slung on their backs. I distinctly remember all the hot woman at bus stops carrying them. Most of them appeared to be reservists in uniform, but how often do you see armed off-duty US serviceman walking around in public with M4s slung on them.
