Here’s a Huck’s Heroine salute to Inbal Lieberman, a 25-year-old Israeli woman who is the security coordinator of Kibbutz Nir Am. She immediately realized that the sounds she was hearing were different from “the usual rocket attacks” on the kibbutz. She ran from home to home, opened the armory and passed out guns, and placed 12 men on the kibbutz fence. When the terrorists arrived to attack, all 25 of them were killed.

This article explains why Israel has distributed 10,000 “assault rifles” to civilian security teams since the attack.

But it doesn’t explain why the initial victims were unarmed and unable to fight back. Many people don’t realize that Israel, despite its reputation for self-defense, has strict gun control. The horrifying numbers of victims could be ascribed to the same idea as that behind the saying of Second Amendment defenders: “When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.” They had to wait for security forces to arrive and save them. 

Those forces acted with stunning bravery, even making themselves human shields to protect civilians, but the terrorists were still able to kill hundreds of people because, unlike the residents at the kibbutz, they were unarmed.

This thought-provoking article from a gun rights website argues that this attack should put an end to all demands for more gun control, but of course, it won’t. The left will just keep saying, “It can’t happen here,” even as they open up the border and allow unvetted people from who-knows-where to come streaming in.

And by the way, the argument that “it can’t happen here” is moronic rubbish. News flash: 9/11 happened HERE.
