Vehicular manslaughter: gun free Vs gun freedoms

Today a man in Israel tried to kill a number of people by mashing a bulldozer into them. He was able to kill three people before somebody used a gun to stop the treath.
This is Israel, where if not by a police officer, one of the many citizens who go through their everyday life carrying fully automatic submachineguns could have stopped this attacker.

This stands in stark contrast with similar events that took place in Japan:

Armed with a far less dangerous vehicle, a Japanese man drove a truck into an entire crowd of people, hopped out and went on stabbing people, killing seven. That's more than twice the amount of people killed by the guy in the bulldozer!
The guy was out on the street, running around! One need not even clim onto a bulldozer or anything similar to stop him! Point, click, lives saved.

Tokyo stabbing spree.

Over in that other gun control paradise, a man drove his truck into a crowd of (presumaly) shoppers before going on a stabbing spree that left five dead and over a dozen wounded.

UPDATE:

Belgium news on "één" reports seven fatalities

• NARITA — Customs officials have lost 124 grams of hashish they planted in an unknowing traveler’s luggage to train drug sniffing dogs, the head of Narita Customs said Monday.

  Customs officials are banned from using travelers’ luggage for training practices, but one worker said it was common practice.

  “We want to improve the sniffer dogs’ ability, so we have practiced this way several times in the past,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

  Manpei Tanaka, head of Customs’ Narita branch, apologized for the incident.

  “It’s extremely regrettable that we have invited this sort of situation on ourselves. We will investigate the facts behind the case, provide thorough training and deal strictly with those involved,” Tanaka said.

  Customs said the hash was stored in a metal container stuffed into the pocket of a soft, black suitcase belonging to one of 283 passengers traveling on Cathay Pacific Flight 520 from Hong Kong to Narita, which arrived at 3:31 p.m. on Sunday. The owner of the suitcase is unknown and passengers were not informed that their luggage would be used to train the drug-seeking dogs.
