"If you can't trust people to own, and carry guns, you can't trust them to follow laws, making the laws useless."
That's why we shouldn't have ANY laws, because some folks can't be trusted with firearms and so they won't follow any laws. smh
I don't think anyone on this forum would like to live in Israel under their current firearm laws.

1. seems Ms. Rosembaum's , PhD epidemolody, research originally published in an article called:
Gun Utopias? Firearm Access and Ownership in Israel and Switzerland, published in the Journal of Public Health Policy 33, p. 47 (2012)) then Ms. Rosembaum regurgitated it in the Foreign Policy,
http://foreignpolicy.com/2012/12/19/a-league-of-our-own/ , which was then cited by the 2012 Washington post's article has been challenged by finem respice as...let me see how did they word it: quote: ...that the body of your research...can only be described as "shoddy," at best. At worst it appears more like raw academic fraud. unquote

2. JPFO's site states: quote: This page’s contents were first placed circa 2002 and so must be regarded as possibly having changed over time, but
perhaps this can still be useful for an initial reference unquote. doesn't seem too restrictive to me:
a. Part-time reservist (volunteer) for 3 years- may own 1 handgun
b. Such a reservist (volunteer) is a member of a gun club - may own 1 rifle
c. Professional, licensed public transportation driver, transporting a minimum of 5 passengers - may own 1 handgun
d. Licensed animal control officer- may own 2 hunting rifles, *not* full automatic weapons, or semi-automatic weapons with a limited capacity magazine.
e. Full-time dealer of jewelry or large sums of cash or valuables - may own 1 handgun
or veterans:
1. Veterans of the Regular Army honorably discharged with the rank of non-commissioned officer, and veterans of the Reserve Army with the rank of regimental commander- may own 1 handgun
2. Retired law enforcement officers with the rank of sergeant - may own 1 handgun
3. Retired prison guards with the rank of squadron commander- may own 1 handgun
3. i'll let the members read the section under the heading
Firearms Licensing Criteria: August 2011–Present themselves but my read is if an Israeli citizen asks and meets the MH and training criteria is allowed to have one handgun and 50 rounds of ammo for their use.
bottom line, if you are gonna sling make sure the material being slung is viable or the rebound effect of the stuff slung might hit you in the face.
now when am i getting my one way ticket and visa? (i'll even provide my own handgun and 50 rounds of ammo so i am not a burden on the economy of the government. :banana
