    The popular circles concerned with security affairs are watching with great interest the outcomes, mechanisms, and how to implement the government decision to allocate funds to purchase weapons from citizens, in a step aimed at “confining weapons to the state.” However, this important step is marred by many gaps and questions that... There are no clear answers, which makes the matter suggest the possibility of “not being serious about obtaining good results” from this step, especially in the absence of a clear plan for that.

    This step derives its importance from several reasons, the first of which is the monopoly of violence in the hands of the state, but in reality it will not be exclusively in the hands of the state, as there are many circles and groups, whether at the level of clans, gangs, or party and factional groups, that will continue to have the authority for violence, according to what observers and specialists see.



    But despite the importance surrounding the step, it is surrounded and permeated by many loopholes, among them is who will agree to sell his weapons to the state? Will the price be attractive to push people to give up their weapons? And does the state aim to disarm certain and relatively limited groups without Other? How many weapons does the state want or will be able to extract from society with the allocated amount of 15 billion dinars that was approved by the Council of Ministers in its session the day before yesterday, Tuesday?

    Observers believe that the allocated amounts, as well as the absence of a declared and clear plan or strategy to implement this step, target weak groups or simple weapons that do not go beyond homes or groups that “inherited” weapons from previous time periods and live in cities, as observers believe that this step will not In any way, it encourages groups that own heavy weapons, or those who live in tribal societies, to sell their weapons to the state, which means that this step will lead to the withdrawal of weapons from groups that “do not use them at all” or feel that they do not need them, This makes the government’s move useless, or will not reduce the danger at the security level, because it will withdraw a weapon that is essentially “sleeping” and has no effect on the security level.

    *Equal amounts for the governorates.. Is Baghdad equal to Muthanna?

    The Council of Ministers allocated 15 billion dinars through a vote of the Council of Ministers, with the Ministry of Finance allocating an amount of one billion dinars to each governorate except the governorates of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and a total of 15 billion dinars, from the emergency reserve, based on the provisions of the general budget law for the three fiscal years, to begin purchasing weapons from Citizens, in implementation of the government program, and the first stage of the national policy to regulate weapons and confine them to the state (citizens’ weapons registration stage).

    But the first loophole that mars this decision, and makes it perhaps not clearly thought out, is allocating one billion dinars to each governorate, without taking into consideration the number of residents of each governorate and the number of weapons in it. In Muthanna Governorate, which has one million people, the number of weapons in it and the number of those who own weapons will certainly not be equal. It is not found in Basra, which has a population of approximately 3.5 million people, or Baghdad, which has 9 million people.

    *One thousand dinars for each piece of weapon!

    There are conflicting estimates regarding the number of weapons in the hands of civilians in Iraq, between 12 and 15 million pieces of weapons, according to estimates by members of Parliament and specialists. According to this number, 15 billion dinars would be equivalent to a thousand dinars for each piece of weapons only! Which clearly indicates the extent of the weakness of the weapons in the hands of civilians in Iraq. The range of weapons targeted for collection. On average, the lowest possible price for a weapon may be estimated at about 900 thousand dinars to one million dinars. This means that the allocated amounts will not collect more than 15 thousand pieces of weapons, if a price equal to the market price is offered without incentives from the government, which may be the case. It makes people not forced to sell their weapons to the state, and if the price is raised slightly, the state may only be able to collect 10,000 weapons at best with the allocated amount, which means only 0.1% of the total weapons in the hands of civilians in Iraq.

    *How many licensed weapons?

    While the state refers to what it describes as “the stage of registering citizens’ weapons,” this suggests that the campaign only targets unlicensed weapons, and not those weapons that are registered and have a license from the state.

    The number of licensed weapons in Iraq is estimated at more than 8.4 million weapons, which makes Iraq ranked 25th out of 207 countries in the world in terms of the spread of weapons among civilians, and third in the Arab world after Yemen and Lebanon, with 19.6 weapons for every 100 civilians, which makes it more than 8.4 million. Licensed weapon, according to Our World In Data.

    As for the death rate with these weapons, Iraq ranks 24th globally, with 6.6 deaths per 100,000 people.
