Why Jews Hate Guns
JPFO website ^ | May 9, 2012 | Alan Korwin and Rabbi Dovid Bendory

Posted on 05/09/2012 10:32:55 PM PDT by Neil E. Wright

It’s 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 humanity’s 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!” If actions mean anything, they don’t believe it. That’s for someone else to do. 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.

Wyatt Earp was Jewish, although he preferred pistol whipping perps to shooting them.

My point is you keep trying to claim or intimate that all Jews are born leftists. Obviously, many of them are not.

Actually his third wife, Josephine Marcus. He’s buried in the Marcus plot in a Jewish cemetary.

That is ridiculous, and it is not your point, you just keep posting nonsense that isn’t true, as though you can change the facts and voting reality, or at least conceal them on a conservative political site, for a conservative who is active politically, it is a strange effort, and it sure doesn’t help us to know what we are dealing with in regards to achieving our political goals.

Name something I said that isn’t true. I made the point that the prejudice towards Jews when they first came to this country and continuing for decades up to the sixties certainly didn’t help them embrace conservative politics. That’s all. They were made to feel in subtle and not so subtle ways that they weren’t real Americans. But if Reagan (not exactly your typical squishy Rino) could get 40% of the Jewish vote, then it isn’t ridiculous to believe that more American Jews can be attracted to conservative principles. I mean, who are David Horowitz...Harry Stein..David Mamet...Ron Silver? There’s a lot more. All were liberal Jews who switched to conservatism. Your earlier posts incidicated that you thought Jews were always and forever leftists, and nothing could be done to attract them. Admit what you said, and let’s move on.

Reagan got 39% of the Jewish vote, then only 31% voted for him in his landslide reelection in 1984.

Jews are liberal, accept that, as a supposed conservative you sure are doing a lot of American bashing, and Republican bashing, to pretend something about a dependable left wing voting block, I have no idea why.

No, I have no idea of either of those things.

I also don’t understand your use of the word “therefore”. “Therefore” normally follows a train of logical assertions or claims. Not a question.

I was referring to the great majority of secular Jewish voters who grew up in the 20’s and 30’s and 40’s and became one of the Democrats most fervent, unwavering, and fully taken-for-granted support groups. I challenge you to show me any piece of data that even suggests otherwise. Just one piece of data. That generation spawned the current generation who votes in almost exactly the same way. Their voting records in the last election were in the 80% Dem range. And if you talk to Jewish voters, they will spew out the same stupid idiocy they have been spewing for 50 years. The Jews who have found FR know very well what I am referring to. Among Jews, they are a small minority, still, even after getting gobsmacked again by the results of voting with their worn-out bag of tribal lore instead of their alleged intelligence. 25% maximum, I would guess. I stand by my stereotype, and I stated twice how embarassed I was to belong to such a generally misguided class. Sorry if you are bent out of shape. Maybe if I only do more, reality will not beat the crap out of me next time. Sound familiar?

I simply report what was. Realism is better than blindness.

Blindness is these evasions from facts and reality that you keep attempting in some cheap effort to defend left wing voters. I don’t know why a conservative would be going to such lengths.

You’re the one evading facts.

Jews arrived here as liberal, and remained so, they always have and do serve as the cadre and leadership, intellectuals and funders for the left, they were not turned into liberals by evil America and republicans, instead, they have refused to allow America to pull them into our natural Protestant conservatism.

We are hoping that they will change, not that they will revert to something that you claim they were until they met the evil Americans and GOP.
