Are you sure?
I don't claim to be an expert here, and am open to correction, but my understanding that several features of the Tavor would put it into the restricted if not prohibited category -- primarily the origin as an assault weapon and the automatic fire, and possibly the magazine (I can't remember whether it needs to be fixed, or if just swapping it out for a smaller capacity removable mag will do). Barrel length may also be an issue as well.
I suppose technically one could argue that it is possible to obtain a licence for restricted or even prohibited firearms, but for the average citizen that gun might as well be illegal for all intents and purposes -- such things are generally only granted to law enforcement.
But again, not an expert, no more than basic knowledge in the subject. If you have more info on the matter I'm always open to learning more.
