Did the author conveniently forget full-auto Switzerland?
Liberals are masters of omission.
Not "conveniently". Journalists are some of the most badly educated people on the planet, these days including spelling and grammar.....the tools of their supposed "expertise".
The poor schmuck probably really didn't know.
Maybe not a recognized right, but is a compulsory duty.
Would the Left be content with mandatory training & carry? It would solve all their complaints.
They didn’t arise as we did with our Constitution. Yet, they seem to have plenty of citizens, even teachers, carrying weapons - if our 2nd Amendment wasn’t there, our own rulers would have disarmed us 50 years or more ago.....

There's the winner quote. Given that a documented 300 million people have been murdered by governments, self defense from individual predators is actually only part of the right to self defense. Governments are more deadly than any armed gang or Mafioso. And they can kill you and get away with it.
Stupid is as stupid does...
Didn’t read it. But Israel is a totally different country. A lot of things work there, that don’t here. Because we have corrupt politicians and a lot of people filled with hate towards other people. The liberal’s towards everyone. Israel is a nation that also , I guess has a much higher IQ average among the people.
Absolutely!
And well stated!
well, either this story is right or the other story is right
remember all the stabbing attacks, only then did they start issuing private firearms, that was the story

Israeli official: Legally armed civilians have ‘part to play’ in wake of violence
America is a entirely different situation, although I think we've now become an occupied nation, very similar to pre-1776.
I wonder what you know of Israel's demographics. Have you been there? One sixth of the population is Arab and at least some of these Arabs have been propagandized into hatred of their Jewish neighbors. The Jews, the smart ones anyway, are aware.
And among the Jews, there is plenty of animosity between the secular and the Haredi communities.
But there are enough level headed people walking around with guns to keep things quiet.

Israel doesn’t have the drug problem we have o US; the Mexican Gangs, White Gangs, Chinese Ganges, Black Gangs,etc.
They protect their borders; unlike our country who tie the hands of our border agents, cartels threaten and bribe our agents, etc.
Because Israelis don't live in the south side of Chicago?
Egged is the Israeli national bus system, pronounced EGG-Id.
I read an article on Israeli gun laws way back in 1968 or 1969 after Bobby Kennedy was murdered. Same thing was said.
The answer is they have a homogeneous society. We don’t.
