You would think knife attacks would be illegal in Israel. They should pass a law.

One would think that citizens of Israel would have armed themselves to the gills many years ago. Odd that there is a rush now.

Could be buying ammo. Also, I have a sense most households have long guns, could be buying pistols as I think side arms would be much more effective against knife wielders.

Did not know that, re home invasion, brother. Sorry to hear it.

Carrying is just common sense. Especially in the “Age of the Psychopath”, as we seem to be in.
