| Gun Clubs Urge Jewish People to Become Proficient with Firearms | |
| 2023-02-28 | |
| [Breitbart] Gun clubs in New York and Texas are urging Jewish people to respond to anti-Semitic threats at home and abroad by becoming proficient with firearms. The Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported that Tzvi Waldman, founder of the NYS Jewish Gun Club, noted that "there has been an increase in gun ownership among the Chassidic community, especially in the past few years." But Waldman wants to see even wider involvement. He said, "Jewish people need to be vigilant, whether it is against a jihadist or a lunatic hopped up on drugs. This underscores the need for every congregation to have a trained professional. Whether it is just for a hobby or self-defense, what we try to do is promote responsible and legal gun ownership among the Jewish people." Austin, Texas-based Central Texas Jewish Rifle and Pistol Club founder Mike Miller echoed Waldman’s points, saying, "Jewish people need to be trained to be proficient in gun laws and on the shooting range. When the police are called, it is often too late." Miller added, "Jewish people need to rethink this pacifistic attitude that we have inherited from Europe. It is not helpful. We should let our enemies know we are not afraid to respond."
