[American in Israel]

In Israel with the terrorists, and in America with the home break ins in the inner cities, a woman is far safer at home with a gun in the house than without. That is just statistics, something that leftists cannot comprehend whe it goes against their personal fears.

A lot of jewish familys have died in their houses that did not have guns, from gun violence. One thing I know, its safe to walk the streets late at night in Jewish cities, and there are a LOT of guns in the city most fully automatic.

The danger to women are hordes of crazy eyed Arabs flooding across Israel killing men, women and children in their path.

Every Israel older than 9, should be well armed.

I thought it was expected that Israeli households were “packing”. For crying out loud, they could be invaded at any time.

In one of the most dangerous places in the world to live

This is such bullsh*t !

Israel is hardly a dangerous place to live; or to visit for that matter. It probably isn't dangerous because there really are a lot of people walking around with guns, this law notwithstanding. According to Wikipedia, the most recent intentional homicide rate in the US rate per 100,000 was 4.8 while in Israel it was 2.1.

It's a shame that a website that whose name implies that it is a Second Amendment defender would portray Israel in this light. In fact, Israel is a place where there are all sorts of factions and loads of guns, but very little gun violence. It is living proof that guns do not lead to more gun violence.

Note that these rates do not differentiate between gun murders and others, though it would seem that an armed populace might also deter non-gun murders. Also the rate for Israel would appear to INCLUDE terrorist murders given the ~50% increase shown during the second Intifada years (2001, 2002).
