JPFO ALERT: ANOTHER WAKE UP CALL FOR NAIVE JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS

JPFO member Chuck Klein has written a rebuttal to Jewish
organizations that don't believe Americans should be able to defend
themselves.Yes, it is the usual suspects who choose not to learn
from history.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dear Fellow Jews,

  Since the U.S. Supreme Court decision acknowledging firearm
ownership is an American fundamental right, a paradox has arisen.
"A number of major Jewish organizations have condemned the
decision, which they believe will simply make America a more
violent place. They include:

  The American Jewish Committee,

  Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism,

  American Jewish Congress,

  National Council of Jewish Women.  

  The AJ Committee also expressed "disappointment" over the
decision, adding: "Gun control protects liberty, rather than
restricts it."'

  However, another Jewish view prevails - that of the successful
side of the case (District of Columbia vs. Heller). Here, Alan
Gura, lead attorney, said, "Jews, in particular, should take note.
It's puzzling. Many Jews seem to prefer heavy government
intervention, and it's not a good thing." Jews, he said, "often
have the mistaken belief that the government is a beneficent force
to always do good and help people out. Statistics indicate that gun
ownership tends to reduce crime and increase public safety.
Moreover, self-protection is a fundamental right," he added,
"because citizens cannot always depend on the government to protect
them from criminals or tyrannical rulers." Washington Jewish Week,

  The 5000+ dues-paying members of the civil rights organization,
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (www.jpfo.org), in
its Amicus Curiae on the subject case raises the obvious questions
of how can Jews who share the Holocaust commonality be so at odds
over the issue of the rights and powers of self/race preservation?
Here are a few comments from this very well written and poignant
legal brief:

  "the simple truth - born of
  experience - is that tyranny thrives
  best where government need not fear
  the wrath of an armed people.'

  "If a few hundred Jewish fighters in
  the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the
  Wehrmacht for almost a month with
  only a handful of weapons, six million
  Jews armed with rifles could not so
  easily have been herded into cattle
  cars."
  Silveira v. Lockyer, 328 F.3d 567, 569 (9t~~ Cir. 2003)
  (Kozinski, J., dissenting).

   "This simple observation by Judge Kozinski encapsulates the core
issue that forms the basis and the essential nature of the Second
Amendment."

  [Beginning in 1928, a series of Pogroms were issued controlling,
restricting, and finally, barring Jews from firearms ownership] "A
1936 memorandum of the Bavarian Political Police documents the
procedure:

  "'In principle, there will be very few
  occasions where concerns will not be
  raised regarding the issuance of
  weapons permits to Jews. As a rule,
  we have to assume that firearms in
  the hands of the Jews represent a
  considerable danger to the German
  people."'

  "History illustrates just how readily reasonable regulation of
firearms invites large scale abuse by the state and ultimately
paves the way for wholesale confiscation of arms and the mass
slaughter of the disarmed. (Footnote: ' Invariably the proponents
of "reasonable" firearms regulations . . . invites the type of
abuse which has been rampant worldwide within the last century. One
need not strain too hard to imagine the type of broad censorship
that could be implemented under the guise of "reasonable"
regulation of speech or of the press.')"

  ***************************************************************

  The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled! Those who disagree must, in the
American way, accept the decision and plan/act accordingly, e.g.,
each  family, synagogue, law-abiding citizen (not otherwise
prohibited from owning weapons) should own, train with and teach
the necessity of firearms to their children. And . . . if one is
uncomfortable with this, seek knowledge, familiarization and make
it a mitzvah - a duty to your children and your people
