Guns

I both shoot and collect guns, so I’m not bothered by the sight of firearms. Still, I’m always amazed here at the amount of firearms that you see in public. Soldiers on guard, police, special guards with groups, and sometimes average Israelis. If you are nervous around guns, this isn’t the place for you.

It’s a reminder that in many ways this nation is still at war. Frankly, you might not otherwise know it. I wonder if terrorism continues to expand in our world how long it might be before we see these scenes in the USA.
