Israel Reverses Stance on Armed Citizens - Issues 100,000 Licenses

The attacks of October 7th were enabled by the fact that Israel had largely become a defenseless-victim zone. The powers that be didn't trust the citizens with weapons. From Jews Can Shoot we get the following: Ben Gvir celebrates issuing 100,000 gun licenses since October 7

Putting more weapons on the streets has made Israel safer, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir declared on Monday, celebrating the fact that his office has approved 100,000 gun licenses since October 7.

“This week, we reached a milestone at the National Security Ministry: The 100,000th citizen received their firearms license,” said Ben Gvir, standing in front of a poster with an image of a handgun and the slogan “100K Israelis armed.”

Ukraine had disarmed its citizens before the Russian invasion. Israel had (mostly) disarmed its citizens before 7 October of last year. Why? In both cases the answer was the same. To keep people safe. That didn't work out too well in either case.
