Israel is an example of the few guns in civilian hands have stopped a lot of terrorism. The last time I checked we only had around 275,000 legal pistols in the country and almost no rifles owned by individuals.
What are your thoughts on this:

"Israel’s Ministry of Internal Security says that 260,000 Israelis have permits to carry guns in public. With about 3.85 million adult Jews over 21-years-old living in Israel, that implies about 6.75 percent of Jewish adults in Israel have these permits.

This is down substantially from the rate previously calculated for 2000 where the same number was about 12%. It is also slightly higher than the concealed handgun carrying rate for the US. By comparison, last year about 6.5% of the adult US population had a concealed handgun permit.

Some call for even more liberal regulations to let people carry."
