Israel relaxes gun rules in wake of Hamas attacks

With a climbing death toll from the ongoing Hamas terror attacks, Israel is relaxing its gun laws to allow Israelis to carry firearms for self defense. This is a big win for self-defense, but at a very heavy price. And the issue is not Israel's gun laws, per se, but the acknowledgement that guns can, do, and are necessary to protect life.

From The Reload:

It will now be easier for Israelis to carry firearms for self-defense in the wake of the worst terror attack in the nation’s history.

Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Sunday he has ordered officials responsible for issuing gun licenses to broaden its standards. As the death toll inflicted by terror group Hamas grew to over 600, Ben-Gvir said he wants more Israelis to be able to legally arm themselves.

Stephen Gutowski, founder of The Reload and firearms reporter covered this story:

This is a big change.

This gives Israeli's a chance to defend themselves against a horrific and deadly terror attack. Others pointed out that this policy would have been more helpful a week ago:

It certainly is eye-opening to those of us who didn't know this.

Anything that can help.

This sentiment was echoed quite a bit.

As the death toll grows, this is, sadly, true.

Yes they should.

The previous policy was praised by our own DOJ:

Yikes.

The argument against armed citizens was over when the Second Amendment was ratified, but this definitely seals the deal.

We should be very thankful.

Yes it is.

Exactly. Some of those so-called 'weapons of war' the Biden administration likes to attack would be handy right about now.

And it's still far more restrictive than U.S. gun laws.

Yes it is.

We wonder if this policy will be rolled back once things settle down. We certainly hope it isn't, and that it's loosened even more.
