Police say 30 people were murdered with weapons intended for security purposes in the course of the last decade; Israel Security Association formulates proposal to reduce number of firearms in security guards' possession. AND HOW MANY LIVES WERE SAVED???

Really it's clear the problem for Israel is the money .But Israels Tough Security but no Road Safety is excellent for tourists

Didn't the article say that these 30 people killed in criminal acts committed by security personnel. Security is not generally a well paid job, but surely it is not acceptable for security guards to supplement their income by armed robbery?

If you cant trust the Security Guard. they should not be Security Guard in the First place. Anybody You cant trust should not be armed at all. You dont need Firearms to Kill or Murder either. Arn.Sweden.

home for a day or two. Then we can see all the places of business,education and tourism that will either have to be shut down or guarded by the "police". I will not leave my weapon at work and worry if it will be there the next day. I will refuse to work with a pistol. And hopefully others will also. The government of Israel is only concerned with removing weapon licenses from Israelis, but arming the terrorists with M-16s, AK-47s and 9 mm pistols. There are a few drunks and mentally ill guards that no one checked. First take away all weapons from the police. Then ban all drivers, because of the hundreds of accidents resulting in death and injury with all sorts of vehicles each year, not decade! Finally this "union" that does not make sure that all security guards receive the correct salaries and do not have money stolen from them by the security companies should shut up!! I do not know of one member of this union.

I know by experience that, in my little town, the police officers do their job very good. If, for example, somebody, who's allowed to carry a gun for security matters, beats his wife or child,... the police intervenes, confiscates his weapon and at the end the government revokes his gun license. They have to do it everywhere. By the way: I'm not a police officer or security guard.

Obama and Eric Holder are well paid but that didn't stop them from running guns to Mexican drug lords. We wink at crime when it is committed by liberals.

his or her weapon at work? I finish at 22:00 or 06:00. Who is there to check me? Keep the min of interior and police out of security, even retired cops. They know little or nothing about security .And how many of those murders would have been committed with a knife, hammer or by hand. Best thing for bibi to do is to send aharonovitch home and to remove pistol permits from the min of interior.

crimes have been stopped by security guards. More guards were killed and wounded in the two intifadas than cops. Ask aharonovitch about that. Remember how many guards were killed and wounded and how the police show up afterwards? They just know how to sling the b.s. at the media. Many people are alive today due to the sacrifices of security guards! Why doesn't the ass-ociation of security see that we guards receive our correct salaries? Who the hell are they? Were they the ones that gave a certificate of merit to one of my bosses. He has not paid us religious holiday pay, beit avrah, overtime, annual vacation pay, pay for required courses and made us pay for uniforms and most of our transportation. Is that the ass-ociation?
