In a gun shop in the West Bank, a salesman laid a collection of unloaded handguns on the counter and invited a group of men gathered around him to pick them up and see how it felt to squeeze the trigger. His advice was soundtracked by a staccato of automatic rifle fire from the adjacent shooting range, and the occasional rhythmic sound of shots from a handgun.
“Everyone comes in here wanting a Glock,” he told the group, “but really you just need something that feels comfortable when you hold it in your hands.”
