    Be it in the US, Israel, or Palestine, innocent children are dying because of the sins of adults. Wake up and end the madness.

    Gun-related deaths in US: 10.2 per 100,000

    Gun-related deaths in Israel: 1.86 per 100,000

    Israeli civilians are only allowed to carry handguns with a 50 round lifetime limit. BUT…off duty soldiers openly carry their assault rifles with them everywhere and are required to by law.

    Israel also has mandatory military service,

    Israel also has a much smaller population, in a much smaller area of land. That said, a 50 round lifetime limit? Sounds good to me, that’ll be five in the eye for those NRA, GOA, NSRC jerks!

    I would like to see some proof of that 50 round life time limit. How would you enforce that, how do you separate target ammo with what you carry.

    To top it off ammo last under best conditions maybe 15 years and that is in a weather protected warehouse. I know this because my Guard Unit supplied security at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in 2001 & 2002.

    Mr. Ima
    Be very careful what you wish for.

    Oddly enough, I rather agree with you about that. Of course, my definition of ‘criminally insane’ includes the NRA, bankers, Republicans.

    @ jack75287
    Thank you. That is the very thing that I was wondering. I was in an artillery ammo section years ago, but I remember little about it.

    Ima might be wishing for a place with softer walls.

    Settlers get to carry full auto weapons to use.

    PBS had an interesting special Friday night that I just watched.
    56 minutes.

    That’s a cardboard cutout. The real Dumbo ears are yukking it up in Hawaii on taxpayers’ dime.

    I think every President who has ever had to deal with the aftermath of one of these shootings has the feeling this cartoon conveys. The most powerful man in the world, able to bring death and destruction on civilizations, and he can’t protect the children of his own nation. Whether the Tower Sniper in Texas back in ’66, the Columbine shootings in 1999, or last week, too many powerful people have been powerless in the face of these hopeless pathological killers.
    It is a grim picture and one I do not envy a President, Governor, or Mayor.
    Sadly,
    C.

    Obama has taken action, he’s sent the issue to a special task force, that will undoubtedly table the matter forever. Yup, real gun grabber there.
