More clarification on Israel and their gun homicide rates.Teacher in Israel

Gun laws in Israel are comprehensive despite soldiers being allowed to carry their service weapons on or off duty. Civilians must obtain a firearms licence to lawfully acquire, possess, sell or transfer firearms and ammunition.
Only a small group of people are eligible for firearms licenses: certain retired military personnel, police officers or prison guards; residents of frontier towns (in the West Bank and the Golan Heights) or those who often work in such towns; and licensed hunters and animal-control officers. Age requirements vary: 20 or 21 for those who completed military service or civil service equivalent, 27 otherwise, and 45 for non-citizens. Firearm license applicants must have been a resident of Israel for at least three consecutive years, pass a background check (criminal, health, and mental history), establish a genuine reason for possessing a firearm (such as self-defense, hunting, or sport), and pass a weapons-training course.[51] Around 40% of applications for firearms permits are rejected.[52]
Those holding firearms licenses must renew them and pass a shooting course every three years, and undergo psychological assessment at least once every six years. Security guards must pass these tests to renew their license to carry firearms belonging to their employers.[53] Applicants must demonstrate that they have a safe at their residence in which to keep the firearm. Permits are given only for personal use, and holders for self-defense purposes may own only one handgun and purchase an annual supply of 50 cartridges (although more may be purchased to replace rounds used at a firing range).[54]
In addition to private licenses of firearms, organizations can issue carry-licenses to their members or employees for activity related to that organization (e.g. security companies, shooting clubs, other workplaces). Members of officially recognized shooting clubs (e.g.: practical shooting, Olympic shooting) are eligible for personal licenses allowing them to possess additional firearms (small bore rifles, handguns, air rifles and air pistols) and ammunition after demonstrating a need and fulfilling minimum membership time and activity requirements. Unlicensed individuals who want to engage in practice shooting are allowed supervised use of handguns at firing ranges.
Most individuals who are licensed to possess handguns may carry them loaded in public, concealed or openly.[51]

LOL, here's the reality of firearms in Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-israel-unlike-the-us-a-privilege-but-no-right-to-bear-arms/
If you want to move to Israeli gun control laws, I'm all for it. WAY more strict than US laws.
EDIT: Here's more on Israel's strict gun control: https://nypost.com/2018/02/15/israels-gun-control-laws-can-make-the-us-safer-too/
Your idea, not mine
momeNt's face when they realize they inadvertently advocated for much stronger gun control laws:They also have like 1/13 our rate of private gun ownership.

Let's not distort reality here. You posted an unattributed picture that you stated is an armed teacher in Israel with the caption:I advocated for teacher's carrying in response to the cartoon, showing that it is a reality, and probably advisable at this point. We aren't going to disarm America, so at this point it might be a good idea to actually equip schools with the ability to respond to a threat no?

FWIW, i do not believe in any sort of "empirical" evidence of the effects of gun control laws in other countries and attempting to equivocate them to the USA. Each country has distinctly different cultures and attitudes towards violence and different environments that produce adults in different ways. You cannot control for all of those things. If we adopted UK's gun laws tomorrow we wouldn't have UK's crime rates.

Their homicide rate and firearm related death rate have everything to do with who their society chooses to be armed and how they arm them, also known as their system of gun control. Do you or do you not support Israel's gun control laws?

How are you going to arm all the soft targets in the country?

No, you shared a photo of a teacher carrying a rifle for which you provided zero context. Do all teachers carry, or only those teachers in frontier settlements? Was this photo taken during relative "calm" or during an intifada?

No context, no facts except something about homicide rates and gun death rates. You got caught making a half-assed argument.
I think he got caught making a whole-assed argumentNo context, no facts except something about homicide rates and gun death rates. You got caught making a half-assed argument.
Maybe they can suck on Tide Pods and still be taken seriously by the media?I just want to say that these are the same kids that just 2 weeks ago we had to plead with them to stop eating Tide Pods, now they are leading the discussion on the future of our nation.
Me and Alex Jones thought it was flouride in the water and gay frogs, well now we know it was actually Procter and Gamble and the globalism conspiracy New World Order poisoning our minds through Tide Pods.
God help us.
It feels good, I don't and have never supported a carbon tax.lol. And here we have the sick and disgusting subhuman filth, taj-mahal, attacking highschool victims and survivors of gun murder, merely to prop up the "holy NRA." This is because Taj is a sad waste of carbon atoms. You have no value to contribute to the human race, taj. How does that feel?
Yea its multi delusional allright. Here is my solution.

Maybe tax credits or vouchers or something like the ACA. If healthcare is a basic human right, then so is firearm ownership.

No, it's not crazy at all. It's why I hired him.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/20/us/ohio-concealed-weapons-sheriff/index.html
"Hundreds of teachers and school employees in an Ohio county have signed up for a concealed weapons class their sheriff offered in response to last week's deadly shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones announced the free training on social media on Sunday evening and said there were 50 requests in 20 minutes."
An idea whose moment has come.
