#1 In the first "Robocop" movie, the thing warns at one point, "put down your arms or I will commence firing." They don't and it blows them away. Unless you are a robot, warnings could get you killed.

#2 In Israel, gun licenses are available to every adult on demand. For their part, the government should do a lot more to encourage more of their citizens to be armed, preferably with concealed carry, which gives a strong tactical advantage.

Ironically, Israel for the most part is so peaceful, despite the MSM news, that the illusion is created that most Israelis don't need guns.

The way around this is to create the social idea equating gun ownership with adulthood. It would be a small expense to offer a "birthday present" to young men and women on reaching perhaps their 18th birthday, that for a nominal cost they would receive a gift of a handgun, engraved with the symbols of Judaism.

Perhaps the Star of David and a religious blessing in Hebrew.

Not offered by the government, since it would not be offered to Arab citizens, but indirectly, through a secular Jewish organization.

Many would want it, even though some would reject it. But it would strongly increase the number of armed Israelis.

In fact, something like this would be a good idea in the United States, as well.

#3 There is a local restaurant business out this way with a sign on the door:
(yellow stick figure with smiley face head arms in surrender position with the circle-cross-through around it)
"This is a victim free zone. Legally allowed carried weapons are welcome and encouraged."
