And what they suffered was unbelievable. A Fox News reporter in-country said today that the Hamas terrorists went door-to-door. If they could gain entry, they executed everyone in the home, including small children no matter how young. If they couldn't quickly gain entry, they simply torched the home with everyone inside.

And continues to be the best deterrent from a conventional-weapons homeland incursion. The Hamas attack was, it seems clearly, carefully planned in conjunction with Iran. And just as clearly, it took full advantage of the knowledge that the typical Israeli household had no firearm immediately available. There was no assault on militarized installations; the targets were civilians.

With perhaps 100 million more firearms in civilian hands than the number of people in the U.S., the statement attributed to Japan's Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in WWII (whether he actually ever said it or not) has given foreign nations pause since 1812: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

That is, so long as we can preserve and protect the Second Amendment.
