The WAPO article is right but does neglect the one point Tablet brings forth- that military personnel all have weapons at their disposal at all times.

It is true Israel (and Switzerland) have strong gun laws, they also have military issued weapons which fall outside those laws.

As the article highlights it is the culture in addition to strict gun laws which has a profound impact on society.
