In reply to the discussion: The claims about gun control and the Holocaust are bogus [View all]jimmy the one

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
Penigma is spot on, JPFO is a radical fringe jewish group which is pro gun & thinks that guns could've prevented the holocaust, or that they would at least prevent another one.
.. Jewish, in a guncontrol support poll about 2000's, were the ethnic group which polled the highest support for gun control efforts, like about 90%, the HIGHEST support.
In fact, tues aft, your very post supports this, as the rabbi is apparently blasting away at his own congregation:
by Rabbi Dovid Bendory, Rabbinic Director and Alan Korwin, GunLaws.com
Its no secret that one of the largest blocs of people pressing for so-called gun control is the culturally (aka not-so-religious) American Jewish community.
This confounds many observers who would expect that Jews, with such a stunning history of oppression and murder by humanitys villains, would cling tenaciously to personal firearms and the ability to protect themselves as the Hebrew Scriptures instruct.
In reaction to the Holocaust, American Jews adopted the phrase Never Again!... How do Jews expect to put teeth behind the words Never Again! if not with the ability to apply and project personal force when righteous -- and necessary -- for survival?
Why then do so many American Jews hate guns and fear gun ownership so much?
Our research identifies ten reasons why these Jews feel the way they do about self defense in general, firearms specifically and your own right to keep and bear arms.
The adamantly anti-gun-rights Jews are bowing to:
1. A desire for utopian moral purity 2. A disproportional incidence of hoplophobia
3. A quest for power through victimization of peers 4. A utopian delusion that if guns would just go away,crime would end and the world would be a peaceful safe place 5. Self hatred and a wish to be helpless, acting out guilt-based
behavioral problems that develop in childhood
6. The Ostrich Syndrome 7. Garden-variety hypocrisy
8. Adulterated religion -- Jews In Name Only (JINOs) 9. Feel-good sophistry
10. Abject fear that yields irrational behavior
If you've never read much put out by JPFO, you might wanna check out their website, it's radical pro gun. A splinter jewish group imo.
