JEWS MUST NOT SUPPORT "GUN CONTROL"

"Jews should be the last people in the world to support 'gun control'." So said JPFO's founder, Aaron Zelman (1946–2010) and now it is painfully obvious why. One kibbutz, Nir Am, led by a woman, was armed, ready and stopped the jihadis cold, while others, disarmed by "nice" government social policies and cultural narratives were slaughtered. "Never again!" needs teeth, as we can plainly see.

"Our efforts are firmly based in Jewish law, traditions, teachings, history and common sense," said Rabbi Dovid Bendory, JPFO's former Rabbinic Director. "Aaron believed, and I agree, that the present, fervent, almost infatuated embrace of 'gun control' by liberal Jews is disgraceful. Not only is it morally repugnant, it goes directly against the tenets of Judaism's most fundamental teachings of the sacred nature of life, and the Torah's clarity in our obligation to preserve life and protect the innocent." And now the world can see the wisdom in remaining armed, while antisemites around the world chant "Death to the Jews".

JPFO believes it is grotesquely immoral to force or even suggest that Jews or any free people be disarmed "for safety" or falsely for their own good. Statements to the contrary are bald-faced lies. Government's "first responders" are second responders, evident once again. Common wisdom observes that disarming good people doesn't make bad people harmless. Proof is now on a platter before you.

U.S. politicians seeking infringements deserve removal from office for violation of oath. Schools that refuse to teach firearms safety and marksmanship—classic American values that have helped keep us free for centuries—should lose all official funding. Teach the value of guns to everyone, and encourage training.
