  Having an armed and terrified populace has worked so well for America.

    You think what’s going on in Israel is in any way relatable to America? Weird…

    Who’s “armed and terrified” in America? Clearly by your wording you don’t live here. Speak for yourself.

  If true (federalist, so who knows), this is a terrible thing. Get convicted far right mobster Netanyahu OUT of his position.

  Would yall prefer they not be able to defend themselves?

    Yes, those people prefer people cowering in a corner of their own home begging for their lives at the hands of terrorists with a zero chance of survival, vs a 50/50 chance of living. You know, until it’s them and their families…

  Are you suggesting that the US should look to Israel as an example for gun regulations? Even their “looser” rules (you can now do your license interview over the phone instead of in person, big deal) would be decried as wildly draconian by US standards.

    No? How on Earth did you get that?

    Its a step in the right direction for Israel, but they’re still way behind America.

    Yes they would, but those changes prove what we know to be true from our past, when shit actually hits the fan, you want the good guys to have guns. Imagine with our southern border open for years now what could already be staging right now. We’re the most hatred country on the planet, no shortage of terrible people would love to see another homeland attack. Hope im wrong there, but statically its more likely than not.
