This comes from two days ago, but I am just commenting on it now. It is sort of typical. You've heard that a conservative is a liberal who just got mugged. It may be true in some cases. Anyway, Cam Edwards notes at Bearing Arms that Gun Sales Surging as Jewish Americans Embrace 2A Rights. I should note, though, that we have had Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership featured on the reading list for as long as this blog has been around. But, that aside, it is true that the majority of Jews are somewhat to very liberal and vote democrat, which means they have traditionally supported gun control.
Whatever the reason for their past thinking, I am glad to see that more of them are waking up. There is no moral equivalence between having a gun, and being prepared to use if if attacked, and attacking a person. One, the attacker, is aggression, the other is defensive. Anyone who claims differently is morally confused. God declares you shall not murder, i.e. be the aggressor, but you shall defend your life and the lives of those in your care, including if need be your neighbor.
