Fortunately synagogue leadership did institute their own security protocol which included security cameras and locked doors. This surely saved lives! During the Torah reading, a loud booming noise  was heard and a man dressed in black was seen amid a cloud of smoke via the security monitor. \u00a0  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> An assailant shot repeatedly at the door and ignited several Molotov cocktails and homemade grenades attempting to force his way in,\u00a0 but the door held.\u00a0 Amid his frustration for failing to enter the synagogue,\u00a0 he shot a  forty year old woman who was passing by. He then drove down the street and killed a twenty year old man in a kebob shop.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weapons used by the perpetrator were hand-fashioned from wood, steel pipes, sheet metal and plastic, using plans he had found readily  available on the Internet. Additionally some components did appear to be  manufactured using a 3D printer found at the assailant\u2019s home. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There  have been concerns voiced that this extremists\u2019 use of homemade weapons  will\u2014by example\u2014usher in a new era of violent attacks.\u00a0 I hate to be the one to break this news, but terrorists and criminals have always  been able to manufacture their own weapons with a simple trip to any  hardware store!\u00a0 This of course assumes that they choose not to shop on  the black market where fully functioning, commercially manufactured  weapons of every description, are available at bargain prices to any  criminal willing to break <em>just one more<\/em> law, before they go break even more consequential laws. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> There were also several  commentators who stated with great certainty that this event would have  been much worse had it taken place in the United States where real guns  are so easy to obtain.\u00a0 What this line of thinking fails to recognize is the possibility that in the United States, the worshipers hiding behind  the locked door of the synagogue might be armed and trained to protect  themselves and their community from just such an attack!\u00a0 Or the possibility that the woman passerby might have been carrying a concealed  pistol and could have ended the entire incident right there. Another possibility could be that upon hearing gunfire up the street, a concealed carrier in the kebob shop might have had time to draw his  pistol from concealment and readied himself to fire upon the murderer as  he entered, thus saving the life of the young man in the restaurant.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nGod forbid I am ever unlucky \nenough to be caught up in an attack where someone is shooting at me. \nHowever\u2014if it did happen\u2014I would hope for two things: Number one, the \nattacker is using a homemade weapon, and number two, I\u2019m not defenseless\n in Germany! &nbsp;\n\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month In Halle Germany, a murderous psycho tried to enter a synagogue, intent on killing Yom Kippur worshipers&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":4,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4895,4892,4894,4893],"class_list":["post-12333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-anti-semitism","tag-germany","tag-homemade-weapons","tag-yom-kippur-attack"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12335,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12333\/revisions\/12335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
