I just read a post by Dr. Ignatius Piazza of a letter he received from someone in India who explained why India was the target of the terrorists, and not Israel. India has Draconian gun laws. One can only get a permit for a gun if they can show a direct threat to their life. they must turn their gun in when the threat no longer exists. They must take their gun into the police station on a regular basis for inspection, and the number of rounds of ammo they have are carefully counted, and you must bring in the brass from any used ammo with an explanation of when and where it was used, and under what circumstances. Even police officers must police their brass if they discharge their weapon in the line of duty. The Muslim terrorists attacked in India because they knew there would be no resistance. This is the same thing that kept Japan from invading the US in WWII, because they knew that many, many Americans owned guns, and they were not anxious to face thousands of American private arms. The terrorists are such brave freedom fighters that they attack women and children and people where there will be no one shooting back at them. Gee, they could get hurt that way.
