They just changed the law today to allow more citizens to own firearms.. ya I know a little to late. But it's better than never




Announcement from the Office of the Minister of National Security - Emergency Operation in the Firearms Division: The

Minister of National Security, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, instructed the Firearms Licensing Division to launch an emergency operation, in order to allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves. The plan will go into effect within 24 hours, below are its main points :

1. Any citizen who meets the detailed tests for carrying a private firearm due to self-defense and service of the security forces, and has no criminal or medical record, will be required to undergo a telephone interview instead of a physical interview, and will be able to receive permission to carry a firearm within a week. (Self-defense tests: residence in an eligible settlement , rifle veterans 07 and above, officers in the rank of lieutenant and above and officers in the rank of major and above in the IDF and the security forces, service in special units, firefighters, policemen, and workers and volunteers in the rescue forces).

2. Any citizen who received a conditional permit to purchase a firearm and did not purchase a firearm during the year 2023 and the conditional license has expired, will be able to purchase a firearm now without the need to submit another application. The exemption will apply to about 4000 citizens.

3. Any citizen who deposited his weapon in the last six months due to failure to perform refresher training or renewal training, will be able to receive his weapon back. The exemption will apply to about 1800 citizens.

4. In addition, starting next Tuesday, conditional permits to carry firearms will be issued with a permit allowing the purchase of up to 100 bullets instead of 50 today.

Minister of National Security MK Itamar Ben Gabir: "I thank the personnel of the Firearms Licensing Division, the Civil Response Department of the Israel Police and the employees of the Ministry of Health for the very important commitment that will allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves and protect themselves and their environment when necessary."

Fuck that noise!

Israel has stock piles of former commbloc small arms. Start going through them and hand them out to their civilian population.  Israel saves a lot of decommissioned stuff in the reservist arsenals.

Hamas seeing Israeli citizens walking around with Uzis, Kalashnikovs etc in mass will make them think again.

As soon as the conflict is over, they will go back to their totalitarian BS just like Zelenskyy did by asking Ukrainians in the western 3/4 of the country to turn the government issued guns back in (and they didn't do it because they were short on weapons as most were stored in local arsenals assigned to be given back to Ukrainian it was issued to in case fighting came to their area). Zelenskyy has also fought the opening up of gun ownership in the past and has done zero to expand gun rights.

That’s one of the odd ironies of the US. Jews here overwhelmingly vote Democrat even though the Democrat party hates Israel and supports Palestinians.

On a similar note, my wife was a nanny for a Jewish family (the mother was a corporate lawyer and the father an economics professor).

Israelis are being slaughtered by a few neighborhoods of people they knew were there, knew were armed, and they still wouldn't let their people protect themselves.

They will change nothing.

The USA does the same thing. We put kids out there with empty rifles and no ammo on guard duty, and people die from it every time.

If every Israeli citizen was armed it wouldn't have stopped this.  The attack was launched from Gaza (as usual), and Israelis don't go into Gaza for any reason.

But, you're right about Israel being generally anti-2A.  Most of the world is, you know.

How many civilians died in the last 36 hours because they had no means to defend themselves?

At the same time it’s a very different life than here. You have people trying and successfully infiltrating everyday. In their state they have to be strict about it. It’s absurd that people living near the border or in smaller villages have limits on ammo though and how many arms they can have. Although a loophole is always “need it for work”.

Israel's RKBA is based around personal defense, not interjecting civilians into military scenarios.

Hell, listen to judges talk about our 2A in terms of "a person has a right to keep a gun."   "A" gun.  Not "as many guns as they want to have".  Then, how many self-defense shootings involve more than 50 rounds?   Not justifying Israel's constitution and laws (if that's what they are), just observing a RKBA for self defense doesn't involve what the average enthusiast here has packed away for a rainy day.

It's worthwhile to remember that one of the key factors driving the anti-gun sentiment in Israel stems from the fact that there is no hunting----"blood sport"----or firearms tradition among the people of the Jewish faith. That said, hunting and firearms more or less go hand in hand and the fact is, in many countries of "old Europe," Jews were not allowed to participate in hunting sports and, in other cases, not allowed to own firearms.
Historically, Jews were driven out of or otherwise banished from countries such as England, France, Austria and the like, with many of them fleeing to Poland and some sectors of Germany. Similarly, in some areas of Europe, Jewish folks were not allowed to own land &/or more or less driven-off of the land, with them heading to towns and cities to take-up "urban occupations," such as craftsmen, jewelers, merchants and money-lenders. Think about it......do you know many Jewish farmers?
Tradition plays a strong role in determining participation and support for hunting, gun ownership and shooting sports, etc., and when it comes to people of the Jewish religion, there just is no "connection."

Self defense is a biblical concept, from which our own right to self defense springs.  The Founding Documents are based on biblical concepts.  Old Testament concepts.  The Hebrews slew the heck out of their enemies, time after time after time.  The OT is full of slaying.  Hunting had nothing to do with it.  Modern Jews/Israelis would do well to remember that.  Alas, as a Christian, I probably know the OT (Torah) better than most modern Jews.

The Old Testament had absolutely zero to do with self-defense and everything to do with using God to justify genocide to clear out lands the Hebrews wanted.  Even the OT Jews didn't believe in individual freedom; they specifically set up a group of "arms for me, not for thee" to force the will of the theocracy.

The New Testament is pretty cut and dried on self defense AND genocide to get more land.  One shows a lack of faith, the other is outright evil.

Go to the government-monitored range.  Buy range ammo that is expended on site.  If you use your personal 50 rds, you can buy another 50 rds to replace it.  Go every day and shoot as much government-monitored, government-controlled, government taxed ammo as your budget allows.

I know it's cliche to say this, but you'd think that a people who endured the Holocaust would be the most vociferously pro-civilian gun owners around, both here and over there. But they're not.

Of course there are exceptions (including many longtime members here, as well as these guys), but by and large, Jews are not big on the 2A. Just had a debate with a Jewish coworker last week who thinks all ARs should require a tax stamp.

You missed my point completely.  I challenged another poster's assertion that modern Israel doesn't have a culture of firearms ownership because it has no hunting culture.  This is wrong.  The Hebrews used weapons many times in the Old Testament to slay their enemies.  You can believe it was God's will or not, but it's completely beside the point.  The Hebrews used weapons constantly throughout the OT, not to kill animals for food, but to kill their enemies.  This is not in dispute.

Furthermore, our Founding Documents draw heavily from the Bible.  This also is not in dispute.  Our rights are given to us by our Creator, the same Creator that guides the Hebrews in the OT.  You can believe it or not.

Except that the issue of "liberal" is not just a pedantic distinction. "Liberal" refers to the English liberal tradition from which we derive our core civic values: thinkers like Smith and Locke. Progressives hijacked this term. It is not rightfully theirs, as their beliefs are mostly unrelated to that intellectual tradition.

The events of this weekend are pretty much as big an indictment of the kinds of paternalistic gun control pushed by major portions of Judaism both in Israel and in the US as it is an Intel failure by the Israeli security services.

A ton of people would still be alive if their leadership wasn't so intent on ensuring only the "correct" people possessed firearms.

Even after this weekend, they're still stuck in "Stupid" mode.

Today I directed the Firearms Licensing Division to go on an emergency operation, in order to allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves.

The plan will take effect within 24 hours, below are its main points:

1. Any citizen who meets the detailed tests for carrying a private firearm due to self-defense and serving the security forces, and is without a criminal or medical record, will be required to undergo a telephone interview instead of a physical interview, and will be able to receive permission to carry a firearm within a week.

(Self-defense tests: residence in an eligible settlement, rifle veterans 07 and above, officers in the rank of lieutenant and above and combatants in the rank of major and above in the IDF and the security forces, service in special units, firefighters, policemen, and workers and volunteers in the rescue forces).

2. Any citizen who received a conditional permit to purchase a firearm and did not purchase a firearm during the year 2023 and the conditional license has expired, will be able to purchase a firearm now without the need to submit another application. The exemption will apply to about 4000 citizens.

3. Any citizen who deposited his weapon in the last six months due to failure to perform refresher training or renewal training, will be able to receive his weapon back. The exemption will apply to about 1800 citizens.

4. In addition, starting next Tuesday, conditional permits to carry firearms will be issued with a permit allowing the purchase of up to 100 bullets instead of 50 today.

All this in addition to the criteria change that should happen soon.

I thank the members of the Firearms Licensing Division, the Civil Response Department of the Israel Police and the employees of the Ministry of Health for the very important commitment that will allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves and protect themselves and their environment when necessary.

A week? F--k off with that. If you tried that in the US, you'd be crucified.
