Rabbi: Change European Gun Laws To Arm Jews
Rabbi: Change European Gun Laws To Arm Jews
by AWR HAWKINS 16 Feb 2015 Via The Breitbart
(‘The right to self-defense and to the means of defending oneself is a basic natural right that grows out of the right to life.’ – LS)
Following the attacks in Copenhagen, Rabbi Menachem Margolin is calling for gun laws in Europe be changed so Jews can “carry weapons” with which to protect themselves.
Margolin is the director general of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe (RCE) and the European Jewish Association (EJA).
According to Newsweek, Margolin first called for an exclusive change in gun laws in a letter he wrote following the attacks in Paris that lasted from January 7 to January 9. The letter “called all European governments to alter gun licensing laws so that Jews could carry weapons.”
(Yeah, well good luck with that. The liberal socialists running much of Europe have been disarming their citizens for decades. Here in the US, it’s been much of the same. There’s a constant struggle to defend the 2nd amendment. That is why I and many others spend their hard earned money to be lifetime members of the NRA and work to support safe and effective use of firearms. – LS)
Margolin says he did not receive “a real response” to his letter. So now, in the wake of Copenhagen, he is renewing his call.
Margolin said:
The government is unable to protect its citizens. Jewish institutions are a main target, and we need them to monitor and fight against antisemitism, but governments do not understand the situation. The serious demand is that every Jewish institution is protected 24/7. When I pick up my son at the synagogue I want to make sure that he is there and he is alive. It is a very basic request.
He points out that security guards protecting Jewish interests in Copenhagen were not even armed. “What are security guards supposed to do if they are not armed?” he asked.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to the Copenhagen attack by calling for Jews in Europe to “return home to Israel” for their own safety. Margolin does not agree. He believes the answer lies in changing gun laws so Jews can protect themselves regardless of which country they are in.

…or enforce EuroSissy Laws to disarm Muslims and the Barzel Boys can take care of the rest.

LS, after every US school shooting, I hear satirists on both sides of the Pond decrying the gun situation in America – how can anyone empty an automatic into a crowded room and barely hit anyone? Why aren’t you teaching your kids how to shoot straight?
Even remembering the UK’s own Dunblane, I can’t help laughing. Warped humour I guess, but better than crying….
Of considerably greater concern than tragedies:
I wonder how much business Iran is doing with the cartels in the gun and narcotic smuggling field? Mind you, they barely need to do anything so crass as to actually “smuggle” these days.

….and roll they did my friend. Mardi Gras ended last week and the good times certainly rolled. Played music for two different parade parties. Had a blast.
Now we see ISIS threatening attacks one of the largest malls in the USA, the Mall of America. They’re encouraging armed attacks on unarmed shoppers.
Should be no problem there. The M of A is clearly marked with signs reading, you guessed it, ‘No Firearms Allowed Inside’. Most Mall Security I’ve seen are basically armed with a radio and not much else.
I usually avoid such places as I’m always legally armed and consider Gun Free Zones much too dangerous, especially those under threat, which fortunately, I rarely see.

Sad that so many democracy’s disarm their people. You would think this sort of behavior was reserved for dictatorships. It’s a constant battle here in the USA to preserve our right to bear arms.
As we speak, our neighboring state of Texas is fixing to pass an ‘open carry’ law. Now law abiding citizens will be allowed to wear sidearms with no need to conceal. A big step forward in my opinion. However, I prefer concealment as I do not want to become the first target in a developing crime scene.
