Israel's response was to place armed guards in schools and give teachers gun training.
Since then there have been two school shootings by terrorists.
Both ended when the terrorists were shot.
When the knife intifada erupted in September 2015, the Israeli government responded by making it easier for civilians to carry guns. Graduates of Special Forces units and IDF officers with the rank of Lieutenant and above were permitted to purchase guns at their will, security guards were allowed to bring their guns home after work, and the minimum age for a license was reduced from 21 to 18.
Several terrorist attacks have since been abruptly ended by the terrorists being shot dead by people who before would not have had a gun.
