Aaron S. Zelman, a longtime executive for the organization Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, has died at the age of 64.
"He had written many fine and persuasive articles in support of our 2nd Amendment rights, including a seminal article that exposed the 1968 Gun Control Act's direct connection to Nazi gun control law and by exposing the stupidity of Gun Free Zones," said a tribute posted on the Ammoland website.
"Aaron had a take no prisoners way of thinking and challenged everyone from the NRA, to Washington bureaucrats to Ted Nugent in the name of the second amendment," the organization said.
He was 64 and died just before Christmas. His funeral was Christmas Eve in Hartford, Wis.
His title at JPFO was executive director and he worked in support of the organization's goal to destroy "gun control."
The Wisconsin-based organization was founded by Jews and initially aimed at educating the Jewish community about the dangers of being forcibly or voluntarily disarmed.
The organization always has welcomed those of all religious beliefs who share the goal of opposing and reversing disarmament policies.
JPFO is a non-profit tax-exempt educational civil rights organization.

I miss him already.
I hope he didn’t die from breathing too much Hoppe’s No. 9.
I hope they have a replacement in line; he (or she) is needed given the rise of anti-semitism through out the world, especially where muslims have been allowed to emigrate.
Baruch Dayan HaEmet. A tremendous loss.
Aaron was a great friend of mine. I had the distinct honor of meeting and spending time with him here in Austin. We often spoke on the phone. He once had me take a photo of one of my grandsons eating a cookie I had baked, using the gun-shaped cookie cutter that he sold on his website. He kept that photo up for a long time—LOL!
We have lost a great defender of the 2A.
May he rest in peace.
I knew Aaron as well. He was a great help to me and my company many years ago in our struggles against the BATF. A great patriot. He deserves to be remembered by a grateful people for as long as this nation endures as a free, constitutional republic. He will be missed.
PING!
You have sure got that right! I am feeling such a loss----
Aaron Zelman was a great conservative and a model American.
His causes - personal freedom, the RKBA and limited government will outlive him.
He will be sadly missed and we keep losing Americans of such distinguished background.
Aaron, RIP.
