Interesting read :)
 
Although I'm curious how the individuals who are pro gun-control will react to the Israel v. US comparison since I sometimes feel the vast majority of individuals have a very different idea Israel than what it is actually like.  My father worked for Intel for about 2 years in Israel and we went to visit him.  The shock from people that I would visit such a "dangerous" place was, well, shocking!  I feel like most people have an image that the entire country is like the Gaza Strip.
 
Hopefully the stance isn't taken that Israel is so rough and tumble that of COURSE gun control doesn't work....

Justine,
The best solution (in my opinion) for both Israel and the USA is as follows:
1. A legal right to bear arm and the right to use it for self defense.
2. A clean bill of health, physically and menthaly.
3. A clearence from the police or any other law enforcement agency.
4. Demand for a certain level of trainning and being able to pass a test of that level.
5. Safe guarding all weapons, to prevent theft and accidents.


What do you think about it?

Lior

I think that is a complete and concise list of requirements.

# 3 i guess pertains to criminal records check?

Jerry,
About #3 the answer is yes.
About the rest, I know you have a complicated situation in the US.
When your goverment wants to take your guns from you, denying your right by the 2nd amendment, you fill like it is the first step of "attack" againt your all constitutional rights.
On the other hand, you must find a way to prevent menthaly unstable people from getting guns so easy.
Even in Israel, most mass victims shootings were done by menthaly sick people or unstable ones.

I stumbled on this thread while searching for another.
 ???



In just ten years, the US' "shall-carry" environment has changed dramatically!


Now where do I find the proper location for suggesting a new paper?


(Involving 40S&W).
