I note that guns are more difficult to obtain in Israel.
They need a "shall issue" law.
I have been misinformed.
Israel promotes an armed citizenry.
I wouldn't say that Israel promotes an armed citizenry. It's more like Israel recognizes that people who live in certain areas need to be armed to protect themselves. Yes, there are a lot of guns (and soldiers carrying guns in particular) in the streets here. But if you compare the level or gun ownership/usage with the number of violent crimes committed using firearms, I think the ratio is probably the reverse of what you would get by comparing those two numbers in the United States. Lots of people carry guns. But it's rare that they are used except to defend against terrorists.
