US Jews Consider Gun Ownership, Training After Hamas Attack in Israel
Newsmax ^ | October 22, 2023 | Fran Beyer

The Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack in Israel and alarming social media threats that followed is prompting many American Jews to reconsider their tradition resistance to owning or using guns.

Firearm instructors and Jewish security groups across the country say they’ve been flooded with new clientele — and gun shop owners in Florida recount they’ve seen more Jews purchase firearms in recent weeks than ever before, NBC News reported.

“We’ve definitely seen a tremendous increase in religious Jewish people, Orthodox people, purchasing firearms,” David Kowalsky, owner of Florida Gun Store in Hollywood that offers firearms training classes, told the outlet. “I’ve seen a surge in interest in individual training as well as group training.”

Personally, I don't believe that anyone who has opposed the Second Amendment's affirmation of a God Given Right should be allowed to have a Firearm, ... or knife...

Sorry Boss.

Nobody needs a gun because when seconds count the police are only minutes away.

They also might want to consider changing their voting habits

Not having a semi auto rifle with 1000 rounds in every house just cost them billions of dollars and thousands of lives

Boy, things are really looking up....The Biden Administration is thinking the open border could be a threat, and now, people are saying guns are a counter to violent thugs. Yes, sir...things are really looking up. I sure hope World War 3 doesn’t erupt and ruin everything.

An armed society is a polite society and a safe one as well. I was shocked to find out Israelis were not armed.

Revolvers, Semi-Auto, Long Guns, Shotguns, AR-15s, the Whole Megilla!

Ref. to the Biblical Book of Esther concerning Jews being ARMED! :-)

Any tribe that thinks we Americans should not be armed should not be armed.

Ha.
Grim excuse like on a color post 1968 Dragnet show where
Henry Morgan as Bill Gannon told the homeowner “The time you spend rushing to unlock your gun safe and get your weapon should be spent calling the police for us to handle it.”

And these Jewish citizens were ahead of the newcomers:

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of gun rights in the United States and to encourage Americans to understand, uphold, and defend “all of the Bill of Rights for all Citizens.”

The group was founded by U.S. Navy veteran, former FFL dealer, and author Aaron S. Zelman in 1989. Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership recognizes the Second Amendment as protecting a pre-existing natural law right of individuals to keep and bear arms.

Interestingly, the thousands of newly distributed firearms will be mostly select fire.

Many American Jews will face the same problem those Jews massacred in Israel did. The problem is the government confiscating your weapons and making it nearly impossible to own a weapon. In Israel only 2% of the population is armed. That’s primarily due to anti gun legislation. Where an American Jew needs a weapon, say Chicago or NYC, the states and cities prevent him from protecting himself.

You beat me to it. JPFO is the Jewish version of NRA. All Jews need to be armed. In fact if Israel had not disarmed so much of the population I expect there would have been fewer casualties when Hamas attacked.
