President Biden on Friday criticized the new Texas abortion law for creating a sort of vigilante system because its abortion ban is to be enforced by citizens who can sue anyone who may have aided an abortion.

Israel has far fewer private weapons per capita than the U.S., and while there have been gangster shootouts on the streets from time to time, gun rampages outside the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are unheard of. The National Rifle Association responded to the Dec. 14 killing of 20 first-graders and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school by resisting calls for tighter gun control and calling for armed guards and police at schools.
