Charles,
What about rifles? I can see why Israel would restrict hand guns; they are
much easier to handle carelessly. I personally would not want one in the
house. But a rifle is fine; they are much more difficult to shoot something
by accident.

*Gun Law in Israel*
<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/16/gun-law-in-israel.html>
Everybody knows that Israel has a lot of guns. But what you may not know -
I didn't until this article
<http://www.jta.org/news/article/2012/07/24/3101546/despite-militarized-society-israels-strict-gun-laws-keep-civilian-violence-down>
- is that Israel also operates very strict control of civilian
ammunition.
Gun owners in Israel are limited to owning one pistol, and must undergo
extensive mental and physical tests before they can receive a weapon, and
gun owners are limited to 50 rounds of ammunition per year.
Not all Israelis, however, may own guns. In order to own a pistol, an
Israeli must for two years have been either a captain in the army or a
former lieutenant colonel. Israelis with an equivalent rank in other
security organizations may also own a pistol.
to see the obvious.
