HARTFORD, Wis., March 3 /U.S. Newswire/ — Jews for the
Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) strongly denounced the
March 1 statement issued by the American Jewish Congress (AJC) which
called for more federal victim disarmament laws. The AJC’s
statement, responding to the Feb. 29 Michigan grade school
killing, demanded “tough gun control legislation” as the remedy.
Speaking for JPFO, Aaron Zelman called the AJC’s demand an example of
“ghetto Jew mentality.”
“Turning to a secular central government to solve a parenting
problem shows how morally bankrupt the AJC position is,” said Zelman,
JPFO’s executive director. “Judaism is about timeless moral values
and strong family structures — not about calling in the federal
government every time somebody commits a crime.”
“By agitating for more victim disarmament laws, the AJC works
against Jewish values. Jews, like everyone else, have a duty to
protect and defend themselves and their families against violence,”
Zelman noted. “Turning to a non-Jewish secular government to save
everyone from crime violates Jewish principles — it’s making the
state your god.”
Zelman challenged the AJC to affirm traditional values and morals.
“I don’t see the AJC actively working to preserve the Jewish
principles of fundamental respect for human life, punishment of
wrongdoers, and clear moral training of children. The AJC wants the
federal government to prevent honest citizens from having the tools
for self-protection, yet the AJC does nothing to knit the social
fabric around God’s laws.”
Anticipating a flurry of calls for victim disarmament laws, Zelman
criticized the lobbyists who “advance the political agenda called
‘gun control’ on the bodies of dead children.” He also noted that the
Mount Morris grade school tragedy would get national media attention,
while the thousands of cases of children being protected by armed
defenders go unreported. “According to Florida State University
Professor Gary Kleck’s research, firearms are used to prevent crime
nearly 2 million times per year. Firearms misuse is comparatively
rare but grabs the headlines,” Zelman said.
With the AJC’s advocating more federal victim disarmament, Zelman
observed that “the AJC ignores both Jewish morality and the
importance of armed self-defense. Historically, that combination has
been lethal for Jews. The AJC certainly demolishes the image that
Jews are smart.”
