“Apparently they need a few million AR-15’s”
I have an AR-15 and I like it. It’s very accurate with my handloads and stone cold reliable. However, in a situation like that I’d grab my AR-10. They may hide behind their truck but it wouldn’t much good.

So 98% of the country can buy exactly how many guns available for sale?

It’s not like gun vendors have stock to equipment a country’s worth of buyers.

When did they disarm?
I sort of remember that Israeli population was fully armed?

Rather frustrating. After studying what video I could find, it wasn't crack troops like Navy Seals or something who poured over the border, but just bullies with guns. Those punks would have broken and run from a competent organized resistance. If a town they rolled into would have opened up on them from every side they would have taken off in the hope of easier victims. Running them out of the towns would have put them into the open making them great targets for mop up by the IDF. Provided they were in a state or readiness to do so.

I saw photos of this, Israelis have loads of personal weapons locked in community storerooms. These weapons are being retrieved right now. All over Israel.
Though, a sane policy would be (and will surely happen) is that all Israelis who live close to Muslim borders will be allowed to keep weapons in their house. Though too late for this current invasion from Gaza.

For sure, the average Israeli gun owner has been more disarmed than the average Canadian or Australian.

This was apparently a gun free zone. GUN FREE ZONES KILL!

When and how did the disarming of the Israeli people occur?

All they have to do is look for the “No Guns Allowed” sign

What happened? All those pictures of Israelis carrying AR’s where ever then went.

Those are nearly all reservists, who are required to carry their weapons with them during their time on active duty.

Makes sense. So no civilians were or allowed to have guns?

Some civilians have always been allowed to have guns. The number has always been relatively small, less than 2% of the population. There has been a push to reduce the number in recent years.

As a policy, it makes no sense to me. Israelis are very responsible people. The number of accidents and murders with guns would always be very, very small.

A policy like Switzerland would make a lot more sense.

Every person trained in the Israeli military should be mandated to keep a rifle or pistol at home, imho.

Israeli gun laws are quite strict.

I read the document. Almost like California law. I’m amazed. I guess liberal government is liberal government, regardless of location.

It is much harder to obtain a firearm or a carry permit in Israel than it is in California.

>> I was surprised to learn that the population of Israel has been disarmed and that only 2% of the population owns or is allowed to use guns. It was only later that I found out that Israelis don't own guns. Why? <<

Bibi's "conservative" government in action. Can't have guns... but if you want to have a sex change operation or unlimited abortions, you are WELCOME to do so -- at taxpayer expense! "Conservative" Likud has spoken!

One of the reasons I will NEVER "stand with Israel" when it comes to their godawful DOMESTIC policies!
