"Last month, Israel eased restrictions on firearms possession across the country. The entire city of Jerusalem and 41 other cities, towns, and local councils were declared “high-priority” areas in which qualified residents receive expedited gun permits.
There’s a reason terrorists here understand that any kind of attack is a suicide mission. The armed guards at cafes, schools, shopping centers, and other soft targets, combined with the prevalence of gun-carrying off-duty soldiers and civilians with permits, make it a virtual certainty that the terrorist will be killed, usually in less than three minutes.
If you shoot up a bus station in Israel, you will be killed pretty quickly. If you stab Israelis, you will be killed within minutes. Today, a 20-year-old Israeli was moderately-to-seriously wounded by a terrorist who was shot dead at the scene.
It is unheard of here in Israel for an attacker to shoot at civilians inside a facility for nearly fifty minutes, entering different parts of the building, reloading and murdering at will, as was the case with the Columbine High School massacre."
