Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
By

On October 7, the day Hamas attacked Israel, Inbal Rabin-Lieberman, a 25-year-old security coordinator at the Kibbutz Nir Am settlement located near the Gaza Strip, saved lives because she had a gun. After the kibbutz came under attack, Inbal hurriedly opened the armory and distributed guns to the twelve-member security team.
She caught the Hamas murderers unawares because they were not expecting to meet armed resistance. Lieberman killed five terrorists while the others gunned down twenty-five before the Israeli Defense Force arrived. Because of her actions, Nir-Am was the only settlement bordering the Gaza Strip that did not suffer Israeli casualties during Hama’s attack.
The number of Israelis killed in the terrorist attack is over 1,400. How many of those deaths could have been averted had more Israelis owned guns? Israel has draconian gun-control laws, worse than those in New York City. Only three percent (3%) of Israeli citizens own guns (compared to about thirty-two percent (32%) of U.S. citizens).
The
NY Daily News reports that less than one percent (about 0.5%) of New York City residents have legal handguns. Jews comprise approximately nine percent (9%) of New York City's population, the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel.
New York City is trying ridiculously hard to keep guns away from the residents with its draconian gun “safety” laws including unconstitutional, vague, and broad no-carry zones. New York declared much of the city to consist of sensitive locations where legally permitted guns are outlawed.
Times Square and Central Park will be gun-free sensitive locations. Gun-free meaning only those bent on murder and mayhem will be carrying a gun.
The Hamas terrorists were able to get into Israel and kill innocent civilians despite Israel having one of the toughest border security systems in the world, whereas the United States has wide-open borders. Anyone, regardless of their affiliation and country of origin can enter the U.S. at will. Millions a year have been pouring in since January 2020. Is the United States becoming safer as a result? The Justice Department is now warning that terrorist threats were fast evolving in the U.S. and that “we cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or other foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the conflict to call on their supporters to conduct attacks on our own soil.”
