To have a well-regulated citizen militia, the people should have firearms available and be well-experienced in using them. You can't suddenly say "Ok, it's an emergency and we need the people's assistance and they need to defend themselves" if you have previously tightened gun laws to the point many people no longer own them. In an emergency such as this when you are under attack, it's a bit difficult to get to a gun store to buy guns and ammo.

The people of Israel became complacent, the government started implementing gun control for "safety", and look where they are today. Hiding in their homes with no weapons to defend themselves and just hoping the Hamas soldiers don't knock down their door.

What used to be a requirement there has been suppressed to the point of uselessness. Cartridge control, for Pete's sake? A firearms owner who has 50 rounds has nothing for training, which translates in time to nothing at all. I plan on shooting at least twice that personally in about an hour. I do it twice a week. And that is not, IMHO, a very high level of training.

In Israel the firearm wasn't on you, it was in storage at a range with the government controlling the key. They just unlocked them all, which is fine but not for the ones already dead. It dismays me that of all of the societies in all of the world to fall for the "turn in your guns, the government will keep you safe" trap, Israel should have been the very last. And it's sobering to realize that the Dems have been busy importing a new population of military-age males with absolutely no control over who they are or what they want, just as fast as they can.

Every israeli citizen able bodied adult and minor above age 14 should be required to be armed.

Quite shocking to find out about how Israel’s government had disarmed the citizens and made them sitting ducks, surrounded by savages and barbarians.

It seems to me that while Bebe Netanyahu and his buds know which end of the weapon to point at the muzztards Israel has its own BIG problems with an entrenched Deep State just like we do. Who needs terrorists when your own government is your enemy?

The left knows ty9s truth. They want the public disarmed so that when the jack booted ANTI-FA thugs come to get ordinary Americans, loot to take their property, rape ther daughters and commit arson. they cannot be stopped.

NOw if y9u live in a high control state or municipality, you need to do everytihng you can to arm yourself and store a large quantity of ammunition.Think rifle, shotgun and pistol.Teach your entopre family how to shoot accurately.

In most red states the thugs will not likely be aboe to reach your neighborhood, but its always good to be good and ready for the many cross b0rder illegal aliens who can come for you.

The HAVE gun laws in Israel? What? I would think that over there getting a gun would be as easy as buying a cellphone

Israeli Loosens Gun Laws After Unprecedented Terror Attack

Too Little, Too Late!

I wonder if Israel and Jews will survive the Liberal Jewish Love of Disarming their fellow Jews and those that support their Right To Life?

But only the police and the military should have guns!

So when the massacre was happening, plenty of civilians were murdered. And the police? Well, they were getting murdered too. And the military? They were getting murdered too. Sure would have been nice if the civilians had weapons and could have helped save the police and the military.

“Israeli Loosens Gun Laws After Unprecedented Terror Attack”

That sounds like the Biden administration. Wait till 8+ million illegl aliens break Federal Law by ILLEGALLY crossing the border then decide to build 1/20th of the wall that Trump built. And maybe have to buy back the wall materials that were bought and paid for by Trump they sold for scrap

These liberals have no problem for not people guns to defend themselves. But they want Americans to risk their lives for their f only. Americans to risk their lives for their folly. It’s really sad when they can arbitrary select 600 while they are at war. Beyond encouraging. Half the army to mutiny right before this war started. I guess liberals are the same around the world.

Keep in mind that carrying weapons at concerts is not allowed in most of the USA any more than it is in Israel. That is a good reason to avoid all such venues where citizens are not allowed to be armed, such as sports stadiums, school graduations, concerts…..

Good move. Citizens at the festival would have been better off armed...

It’s amazing that a nation that has always considered itself perpetually at war, made their citizenry into easy targets.

They should form local militias to deal with the ragheads and clean them out permanently

Highly restrictive control of private firearms has been part of Israeli society from 1948 on. Israel started out as a very restrictive socialist state. Israel has slowly moved toward free market capitalism.

I guess the first question is, how are they going to arm themselves?

Second question is....who’s going to give them and ration the ammunition so the rich guy isn’t buying pallets full of 9mm and 556, while the poor guy across town is lucky to get 20rds?

I can't confirm this is true but it's good news if it is:

Israel has opened all shooting complexes where civilian population’s weapons are stored, so that people can retrieve them and ensure their own safety.
