		<description><![CDATA[I am not sure what you are asking. Is Israel a safer place to visit than Chicago? You bet! I may may be wrong on this,  but I assume that an Israeli citizen is allowed to conceal and carry a gun. Is that true? Here is a tidbit that most people don&#039;t realize. 30 or so years ago most high schools in the mid continent of the US had competition sharp shooting teams. Students drove to school with rifles in their trunks. We didn&#039;t have mass shootings. I hope you guys have conceal and carry because Israel is surrounded by the same evil that consumed 8M Jews in Nazi Germany. I hope I answered you question. If not give me another chance. Shalom.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you Nechemia. It&#039;s bad enough when the Torah is twisted to suit individual agendas -- and by the way, Moses was punished for not meeting expectations of a Jewish leader to listen to G-d and do a kiddush Hashem, not for blowing his top.  Even my kids already know that from school. The glibness used by  this author to question Moses&#039;s  capabillity of passing a background check is simply astounding. However, it&#039;s even  worse when the author throws Moses into the mix with mass murderers who can also be bad at times.  The reason for serious gun control reform is that some people are more evil than others and access to guns in the States is too easy, due largely to the gun culture mentioned in the article.  If the article had mentioned how gun control is a Jewish imperative and cited relevant sources,  that would have been fine. But of course it&#039;s impossible for some people to resist the opportunity for a potshot against a real Jewish leader in the process. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have an idea...Let Israel adopt the same gun control laws that Chicago has and lets see how that would work for you guys. Just to remind you, a 2002 terrorist attack (evil men) at an Israeli school was stopped cold by an armed teacher (a good man). That teacher was a conceal and carry type person, and if we had such teachers here in the good old USA, events like Newtown would not happen because evil men with guns inflict gun violence that can only be stopped by good men with guns. For you Mr. Rockower,  Leftism trumps your faith. PS last year more kids were murder by gun violence in Chicago than American soldiers were KIA in Afghanistan. Touring Afghanistan is safer than touring Chicago, and Chicago is govern by Leftist ideology.]]></description>

There are trillions of plastic water bottles out there.  Yet not a one will get onto an airplane to blow it up.  I know. I had to empty mine a few days ago. So there are lots of assault weapons out there.  They have absolutely no use in civilian society.  We need to get rid of them - and we need to begin somewhere.  And I have no idea where you got anything about Klansmen from, but I&#039;d just as soon not know. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;We are all good and we are all bad. Moses himself was bad at times – he killed an Egyptian officer, after all, when his own life was not in danger. &quot;

Classic Jewish liberalism at it&#039;s worst. The Egyptian was beating a Jew. So Moses killed the Egyptian.   There is no hint in the text that this is viewed as a &#039;bad&#039; decision.

 An Egyptian was beating a Jew. Thank God Moses killed the Egyptian. If only more Jews throughout history had shown some of Moses&#039; gumption.

You, Rabbi, shed more tears for the oppressor than you do for the oppressed. This is bad enough. It happens to be unforgivable when the oppressed are your own brothers and sisters.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quote: &quot;Assault rifles and large magazines must be banned.&quot;

What an ill-informed article. The author hasn&#039;t even bothered to get his facts right before he makes pronouncements. Criminals prefer weapons that can be concealed. Rifles of all sorts are involved in only one percent of the violent crimes in the U.S. Getting rid of all of them--an utter impossibility--would make no difference in our murder rate. The few murders that are now done with rifles would just be done with handguns.

And talking of &#039;assault rifles&#039; as if they were terrible things is equally uninformed. The popular AR-15 design uses a.223 bullet that&#039;s so underpowered, some states ban its use in hunting game like deer. It&#039;s popular with both police and homeowners because the bullet is tiny, fragments easily, and is less likely to penetrate walls than most other rifles, shotguns, and pistols. That makes it safer for self-defense. Its low recoil also makes it easier for women to use and that military look that so scares limp-wristed liberals often means a criminal surrenders without a fight. (Criminals often know as little about guns as liberals.) The best weapon is one you don&#039;t have to use.

Quote: &quot;Our sources tell us that the world is not full or bad and good people. We are all good and we are all bad.&quot;

Please lay off insulting the great majority of the American people, who would never murder anyone. We&#039;re not the equivalent of these crazed killers, and we  take great offense that you&#039;d attempt to compare us to them or to be absurd enough to think that disarming us will disarm them. Our country&#039;s gangs import drugs by the ton. It&#039;d be trivial for them to also bring in guns and high capacity magazines by the thousands. 

One final note. Someone who is this willing to libel and slander really shouldn&#039;t be moralizing like this. Verbal violence at that level, equating those who disagree with the author with Klansmen who opposed Martin Luther King, is not that different from physical violence. it&#039;s nasty, it&#039;s unprincipled, and it does nothing to solve the real cause of most of this violence--rotten inner city schools, drugs, and fatherless homes.]]></description>
