Israel war: Civilian gun ownership could have stalled Hamas violence

With fighting in south Israel ramping up, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that the Firearm Licensing Division is loosening its restrictions on gun ownership by simplifying its application process and shortening wait times to just one week. This newfound expediency in gun ownership will allow more Israelis to defend themselves.

The Israel-Hamas war, taking place in one of the most violent regions of the world, is showing how less gun control, not more, is the key to preserving life and personal safety.

Despite Israel being surrounded by hostile states and having to deal with violent incursions by the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups, only around 2% of Israel’s 9.73 million population owns a firearm. Compared to the United States’s 30%, this is microscopic — especially during an all-out war within Israel’s borders.

Following Ukraine’s 2022 law that armed its citizenry and encouraged firearm use against the invading Russian forces, Israel’s government is making it easier for its people to arm themselves.

  1. I hope our governor moore takes time to read this information and can possibly understand how this real, then take a look at what he is doing to law abiding, licensed gun owners in Maryland.

  2. With military service mandatory in Israel, everyone is trained. After service, each should be issued a home defense weapon and receive regular range and defensive training refreshers. When living in a war zone it’s prudent to keep warriors ready and vigilant.
