I don't think a door can be maliciously used to kill someone 100 yards away, even if you were REALLY malicious...
It depends on how you are measuring the 100 yards, how deadly can a door be when thrown off a 300foot drop?:03:

Is that what they sell them for in Israel?

As strange as it may seem you cant buy a AK 47 here.
You cant buy assault rifles at all.(legally)
To get a civilian licence for a hand gun requires you to prove that you need it for self defence.
You also are not allowed by law to shoot at burglars even if they are at your home at night.
Unless off course burglar points gun at you.

Most gun carrying is related to policing/security or solders returning home or to bases.

"Inconvenienced"? They drew down on and threatened to kill a citizen who was simply exercising his rights. That is hardly being "Inconvenienced".

I used to work with a retired cop, who told me he always considered a legally armed citizen to be his best backup. Relative you your story, he once said to me "When guns are outlawed only the police will have guns. Do you feel safer now?"

That must be a great feeling knowing that you are dead meat if Palestinian terrorists decide to invade your home.

Depends where you live.
In some dangerous arias in West Bank or around Gaza people have guns given to them by military.
On another hand i know many guys that live in west bank that don't own even 9mm hand gun.
IDFs job is to protect them there.

But it has nothing to do with crime its about terror.
Burglars come to still TVs in most cases terrorist for a murder.

If that could be true, I could live with that.

As soon as a politician can guarantee that all criminals will have no chance of having a gun, then I will believe that gun control laws work.

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

A police cruiser can travel up to 120 MPH.

A .357 can travel at 1,600 feet P/S.

When seconds count who can afford to wait minutes?

Any questions?


And I just realized that any semi auto AK-47\74 is actually not an AK because AK stands for Automatic Kalashnikov. I am therefor building a K-74:D

I couldn't. His point was that a police state is scarier than any criminal, and if only the police have guns there's a chance of that being right around the corner.
