โ€œAs many citizens as possible who met the criteria must be armed,โ€ Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said last week, according to the Times. โ€œIf there had been more guns in the Gaza border area, more emergency response teams, more lives could have been saved.โ€

Absurdity! Met the criteria? Stoopid gun laws cost many lives and will continue to if the powers that be don't pull their collective heads out. The onerous Israeli gun laws make california look like a free for all anything goes gun show. "NEVER AGAIN!" Doesn't mean much if you don't allow folks to defend themsleves unless they "meet the criteria". Eligible, criteria, may qualify...... Much dumbassery! But I did read they raised the "allowable" number rounds you "may" be "allowed" to have from 50 to 100. All acountable for of course. WTAH?

I wonder if israel will go after the guns once the dust settles? They were pretty anti guns for citizens before the attack. Hopefully th3y have smartened up and Will allow the citizens to arm up to defend themselves in the future!

I went to a pistol range in Nashville last month and asked if they had seen an increase in Jewish clientele taking intro lessons, and they said “absolutely, yes.”

Life, liberty and its necessary corollary,s the right to defend your life.

Gang force, anti-life collective force, GOVERNMENT force v the innocent individual.

No doubt they will. Governments world wide DO NOT trust the people.

It’s the Communist education and Communist media.

Israeli Leftists dominate Israel’s institutions the way wokesters dominate American ones, but the Israeli Left is disappearing as a voting force. Their only hope is a rigid oligarchy, and gun confiscation. It’s not going to work because today’s Israelis, unlike today’s Americans, have paid in blood for freedom.

Had a dozen or so festival goers been armed, once they recognized that the parachuters where landing and attacking them, would,have used the remaining parachuters as target practice as they floated helplessly to the ground!

I hate to say it, but Israel’s policies were directly responsible for the large number of casualties. Hopefully this will never happen again, and citizens will be armed to the teeth and able to,defend th3mselves and others.

They sure have paid a very heavy price for their governments ignorant leftist policies on gun control. Hopefully a leader of the people will stand up and say, and truly mean, the following “NEVER AGAIN”. Gun control needs to be a thing of the past

But just thinking about it now, we too have paid a very heavy price in blood for asinine leftist gun Control that have created gun free zones that are the favorite e target of cowardly criminal thugs- the difference though is that the left are still so powerful (they control all the power, ie cops, courts, judges, fbi, msm, blm, antifa etc etc etc) that they can still suppr3ss citizens with threats of lengthy prison sentences if they don’t abide by the ever increasing and restricting gun laws. Sadly,there aren’t enough people willing to collectively take,a stand and say “NEVER AGAIN” when criminal maggots shoot up unarmed unprotected citizens.

Let’s at least hope Israel will have enough who say that that the ruling class won’t dare say otherwise.

Yup! There aren’t that many to “rescue” from those pesky commoners. “NEVER AGAIN!” doesn’t seem to strike home. Lunacy.

We'll just have to avoid "gun-free" zones. You can get your shopping delivered to your house through Walmart or Amazon. And you can do curbside pickup at your local grocery store.

So you can minimize the time you're going to places where you are not permitted to carry.

Instead of going around supporting gay rights in foreign countries America should be promoting gun ownership.

Gun laws or no gun laws, a lot of Israelis are going to keep guns from now on, if they have to they will seek them on the black market and keep them secret, but many will refuse to be unarmed again, no matter how the political winds blow in the future.

I doubt the drugged-out psytrance revelers would have armed themselves.

9+ million population and now 250,000 citizens legally permitted to have weapons. Way too short a number.

Just from examining the price points at which weapons are being sold these days, one of if not the most cost effective type of firearm to manufacture and sell these days has got to be striker-fired, semiauto 9mm handguns.

Israel should order them by the C-17 load, with ammo, and offer them out everyone who pays taxes.

Let's say also set up a kydex holster shop in Israel.
