Just like in Kashmir, the October 7 massacre in Israel was fueled by draconian gun laws that left law-abiding citizens defenseless. It’s clear: disarming citizens doesn’t prevent gun violence—it leaves them exposed to those with evil intent.
“Rage and despair after brazen attack kills 26 in Kashmir,” a Wednesday BBC headline reads. “A group of gunmen opened fire on Tuesday on tourists at a resort in Pahalgam, a picturesque town in the Himalayas often described as the ‘Switzerland of India’.”
“[T]here is no official confirmation on the numbers yet from the government,” the report says about “the attack [which] took place on Tuesday afternoon.”
