News Flash: The ‘Jewish Way’ of Gun Ownership is the Same Way Most Americans Own Them

If you’re not a gun person, you might think of those of us who are as mindless machos who draw some sort of illicit charge from toying around with instruments of death. Some are. But a lifetime of mixing with these people has taught me that the overwhelming majority of us take guns very, very seriously.

We train to make sure we can operate our firearms as well as we can should the need arise. We keep our guns clean and ready. We store them in very secure locations. We educate our children to make sure gun safety becomes a second nature, and we insist they understand precisely what sort of terrible power is held in hands holding firearms.

And there is also a Jewish way of gun ownership.

The Jewish way of gun ownership is more about responsibility than power. It doesn’t flex its muscles or measure its worth in calibers. It’s precisely what the license says it ought to be: concealed, there when you need it and unobtrusive when you don’t. You can see it on display—or, rather, you can’t—when you visit Crown Heights: Every store, more or less, has a little notice in the window informing you that if you’ve got a piece and a permit, you’re very welcome to walk right in. Which tells you that the men and women you see going about their day, while far from your stereotypical image of gun-toting berserkers, are staying subtle and staying safe.

Here’s hoping you take a page from their book. Here’s hoping that should an American pogromist prey on you, you have the ability to protect yourself and your loved ones. Here’s hoping you exercise the right given you by the letter of the Constitution and the spirit of Zionism and procure for yourself the most effective means at your disposal to guarantee freedom—yours as well as everyone else’s.

  1. With fascists like myner49er working to instill genocidal behaviors in our schools against the Jews they need to wake the eff up and all be armed.

    Maybe the Jews can work to repeal the racist anti-civil rights gun laws??? That they voted for and or helped to pass.

    Also this liberal jew gets his stereotype views about gun owners, from the Jewish media that he listens to. Yes, that’s right I said it.

    So the Harvey Weinstein’s movies always display good gun safety practices???

    A liberal with a gun, Jewish or not. Does not make them a supporter of civil rights overnight. They should apologize to Aaron Zelmen. Founder of the JPFO. A man to said black people should get guns to protect themselves against the police.

    I heard him say that back in 1994. Which is why I joined the JPFO that year.

  3. “Here’s hoping you exercise the right given you by the letter of the Constitution and the spirit of Zionism…”

    Mostly agree except on this point. Our Constitution does not grant us the right to keep and bear arms. No, it recognizes a right that predates our Bill Of Rights; a right bestowed by God.

  4. list all the cultures and ethnicities in the u.s.
    i’ll wait.
    now, out of all of them, some individuals within those groups are armed.
    you would think those numbers might rise when societal attitudes shift and the threat of violence increases towards some.
    martyrdom is pointless but for to shift public sentiment.

  5. for example, as their mother was jewish, hebrew tradition claims my kids as the chosen people (my mom used to says, “yeah, chosen to suffer”). regardless, they sure look teutonic to me and the last name leaves no doubt about that. they are weapon familiar.
    their first cousins look much different, whereas the moms were identical twins, the other dad is, um, let’s say curly haired and sports an impressive proboscis. not sayin’, just sayin’. the oldest boy went away to college and got severely beaten at a frat party where they chanted his last name (it is the antithesis of german) and forced him to guzzle spirits. he came home and changed schools. the other kids are drawing some unwanted attention as well. the father owns a boberg .32 (neat) which is locked away in a safe deposit box. he won’t borrow anything from me and won’t allow me to take the boys to the range. and so i work on my identical twin sister in law. she’s close… him i don’t get. we shall see.

    Lets pack up the democrat congress members, and terrorists-in-waiting on college campuses, promoting all the violent antisemitism rhetoric and terrorism and worshiping Hamas – cuff their hands and feet, then put them down right in the middle of an Israeli settlement that was attacked on Oct 7th and see how well their crap goes then.

    another spammer – ‘Shmuley Rabbinovich’ … has a link in his name to a made up site that doesn’t exist and combined with his post is racist, promoting violence against a race, genocide, and some antisemitism with the link in name. Basically, a standard violent left winger moron profile in tone and writing so its probably Miner49er.

  8. I denounce rabbinic judaism, the talmud, zionism and dispensationalism
    I also denounce islam and hamas so don’t even try me on that stupid accusation
