1. LET ANY JEW OVER 18 CARRY A GUN.
MOSHE ,   US   (08.17.09)
SAVE JEWISH LIVES. MOSHE
2. QUESTION: On what grounds ca an application be refused?
Marcella   (08.17.09)
What are the main regulations and restrictions for carrying an authorized weapon and its use in self-defense? I'd appreciate more information. Thanks.
3. It is time
Eytan ,   Jewville, Jewland   (08.17.09)
Violence is just a fact of society. What is important to note is. With all the advancements in weaponry by Israel. I think if they would focus a little on a type of defensive weapon that can by carried by a larger amount of citizens. I believe if there is anycountry that can do it Israel would be first and for most.
4. How many Arabs are applying for permits?
Mike ,   Atlanta USA   (08.17.09)
And how many of them are approved? What is the ratio of Jewish to Arab applications?
5. Every able bodied Jew must be armed 24/7
Al   (08.17.09)
and must be properly trained. The government has failed in its basic responsability namely to protect the lives of its Jewish citizens. The arabs have shown themselves time and time again to be disloyal to the country. They steal murder and cause mayhem. They along with the impostors which you willnilly imported in the nineties are destroying Israeli society. Every Jew must be armed and taught how and when to shoot to kill. This is the only way that Jews wil feel safe in the country. Israel is decending into a hell hole pit and should the government not step up and protect its Jewish citizens, then those who can, will simply up and leave. We Jews survived the worst that the anti-semites threw at us. My father survived a friggin Auschwitz. Yes his number was on his arm. When he died I looked at it again, to make sure that I would never forget nor forgive the Nazis YMS. His grandkids, my kids who live in Israel, need not live in a so called Jewish state where the powers to be, have decided that protecting its Jews is not PC. Mr PM do your friggin job and stop cowtowing to an Obama.
6. Firearms ownership in Israel should be a RIGHT
Adam ,   Israel   (08.17.09)
7. SECOND COMANDMENT !!!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (08.17.09)
-THOU SHALLT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF-, THAT IS - - WITH WHAT MESSURIE YOU MESSURIES, SHALL BE MESSURIED TO YOU AGAIN, AND WITH WHAT JUDGMENT YOU JUDGE, SHALL BE JUDGED TO YOU AGAIN-!!!. HOW CAN ANYBODY SAY TO HIS FELLOW BEEING, -YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DEFEND YOUR LIFE WITH A HANDGUD, ONLY I HAVE THAT RIGHT- !!!. SO SPEAKS THE HYPOCRITS I WOULD SAY. Orao.
8. Murder in the US and the health bill
redbourn ,   tel aviv - Israel   (08.17.09)
A 2006 poll found that 89 percent of Americans were happy with the medical care they get. It's true that the United States spends more on health care than anyone else, and it's true that we rank below a lot of other advanced countries in life expectancy One big reason our life expectancy lags is that Americans have an unusual tendency to perish in homicides or accidents. We are 12 times more likely than the Japanese to be murdered and nearly twice as likely to be killed in auto wrecks. Some 62 percent of uninsured Americans are satisfied with their medical care. That is probably because they get a lot of uncompensated treatment from the most advanced, ambitious and capable medical system in the world. In Britain, by contrast, having guaranteed access to care doesn't mean you'll actually get it. Twenty percent of British cancer patients who might be cured become incurable while awaiting the treatment they need. Does the freedom to bear arms work in the States? If it works, don't fix it. Mike
9. The min of the interior is more interested
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.17.09)
in denying Jews the right to bear arms. I know of many arabs and Jews who never served in the security forces that have pistol and shotgun licenses.The Min of the Interior should not have the right to give out licenses. You cannot even buy a .22 rifle for target practice. The right to have a pistol permit should be under the Min of Defense. All vets should have the right to buy one or more hand guns. Each pistol owner should be required to qualify twice a year at a range. Also the cost to use the ranges should be subsidized by the government. The license fee should be cut by 80%. The right to purchase a hundred cartridges per weapon should return. All illegal use or posession of firearms should carry an additional ten years in prison. All vets should have to qualify with a military rifle at least once a year up to the age of 70. Let the country be prepared for the worst. the age of 70.
10. TALKBACK NUMBER 1,2,5,6 !!!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad ( Srbia.   (08.17.09)
YES ALL FREE ZITISENS MUST HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS. IF SOMBODY IS NOT PERMITTED TO GUNCARRY, WHAT ABOUT HINDER HIM MURDER PEOPLE WITH KNIFE THEN ???. PEOPLE WHO CAN NOT BE TRUSTED WITH GUN CARRY, BECAUSE OF CRIMES, SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO BE ON THE LOOSE AND WALK THE STREETS EITHER, THEY SHOULD BE IN PRISONS/JAILS. A HUMAN FELLOWBEING, PUNISHED BY THE LAW FOR A CRIME, IS AFTERWARDS RIGHTOUS BEFOR THE LAW, SINCE THE LAW HAS NOTHING AGAINST HIM ANY LONGER. Orao.
11. to#4 mike
Marcelo ,   Frankfurt / Eurbaia   (08.17.09)
arabs do not apply for permits. They all have guns since Barak, Livni, Olmert and Huseim Obama give them guns as good gesture....
