United States

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses this past Sunday night’s deadly shooting attack at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida. He says that despite today’s reality, the US still falls short when it comes to placing trained armed guards outside of crowded public gatherings. While Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan announced that more civilians in Israel, specifically thousands of ex-IDF infantry veterans, would qualify to receive weapons licenses, many in the US are advocating to get the guns off the streets. What can the US learn from Israel in this arena?
