Israel Festival-Goers 'Defenseless' After Gun Ban
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/is ... r-AA1hVfMDSome Second Amendment proponents are criticizing the policies of an Israeli music festival that was attacked by Hamas militants over the weekend.
Thousands of people were dancing at the Supernova festival early Saturday when the surprise assault on Israel took place. After hearing sirens and rockets go off, festival-goers heard a barrage of gunfire that halted the music and sent crowds scrambling to get to safety. At least 260 bodies have been recovered from the festival site in the Negev Desert in southern Israel, according to rescue agency Zaka.
Posting a link to a Washington Post report about how the attack occurred at the festival, which was one of the first targets of the Hamas assault, conservative commentator Katie Pavlich commented on the festival policies that prevented attendees from bringing guns onto festival grounds.
"The ravers were told not to bring firearms or sharp objects onto the festival grounds. They were tired and defenseless, trapped in a wide-open area that offered few hiding places," Pavlich wrote, quoting the Post story, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
