My friend in Haifa just received a letter from the govt there, as did his father (both veterans as most men are there).  Orders to turn in their rifles - without compensation - to their local gun dealer.  Apparently there will be no more hunting permits allowed either.  So far no mention that they are taking away handguns.  Amazing in a country surrounded and infiltrated by enemies.

Why is this surprising?  The Zionist movement was always left wing socialist.  Their true colors had to come through eventually.

I'm texting back and forth with him now.  He says that the govt thinks that the army and police are enough to provide for security of the people (where have we heard that before...).



Apparently competitive shooters can still own under certain conditions, everyone else has to turn their's in when their rifle license expires.  My buddy has had his for 35 years.  Crazy.  Just got the letter apparently.

Even Russia has always had legal hunting, even during the Soviet era.

Confiscating shotguns? Never seen that, not even in UK albeit a license is required.

This is why gun registration is a very bad thing. Sounds kind of fishy though...

Calling BS on this one.

Wife has alot of relatives in Isreal who are rabid gun owners. I am sure I would have heard something.

Gun licenses are guaranteed to all citizens on demand. If a citizen asks for one, the government has to issue. No ability to deny.

Unlike the US, democracies in most parts of the world are NOT based upon strong personal liberties. Constitutions are not very concrete and unchangeable and personal liberties are much more fluid. When a government becomes self aware, it starts caring for it's survival and status quo more than anything else. Personal weapons are THE first thing to go then.

Have her reach out to them and ask.  What I'm being told is that they are doing it by simply not renewing rifle licenses.  You get a letter close to your expiration telling you that you won't be renewed.  Word is the permit-on-demand thing went away years ago.



Oddly, pistols have not been mentioned.

Not a troll statement.  The original settlements in Israel were kibbutzes.  They were literally communes.  The original Zionist movement (i.e. return to the homeland, not "evil Jew elders" BS) was deeply committed to communist ideals.

Considering the wife's uncle carries a full auto micro Uzi on his hip everywhere he goes (including work) I would say they are far more liberal than the US. The ignorance is strong in this thread. He is just an Engineer, and not some military / police type.

There's no troll in that post.  You do understand that Zionism was / is the political movement focused on the return of Jews to Israel and the establishment of a Jewish state in Israel?



You might want to do a little research into Zionism, its ideological roots and political philosophy, and the actual political organization of the State of Israel.



Israel is a very "progressive" 'Social Democrat' socialist country and always has been.  They have always had (since the end of the War of Independence) extremely tight gun control.



Americans have a great number of misconceptions about Israel.  Its not a place any American other than a far-left Democrat or socialist / Marxist would want to live.

Wife's uncle is near 70, sleeps about 3 hours a night. They talk by voice thru the puter. Her family is very talkative over the net, since they are all over the world. All of his brothers (including wife's father) are here in the US except the one that moved back to Germany.
