“can you own a gun in Israel?”
Yes, but it is difficult. Most guns are owned by the government and issued to citizens.
I recall one Israeli said: “I don’t see what the big deal is about owning guns. If you are going to a rough part of town, just stop by the police station and have them issue you one for the trip.”
Israel started out as a socialist state, and is still far more socialist than the United States.
OK Benny, put your money where your mouth is.
