ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP

ALERT: Letter to UAHC about their rejection of the 2nd Amendment

JPFO has received a copy of the following letter, sent to the
Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC). We thought we
would share it with the subscribers to JPFO Alerts:

New York, NY 10164-3290

Notice: Adverse Financial Impact of Your Anti-Gun Stance

Many members of the Jewish Community have noted with shock
and distress the official position of the UAHC, coming out
against the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which
clearly delineates the God-given, inalienable right for
lawful citizens to keep and bear arms in this country.

As Jews, we should be acutely aware of the need for self-
protection. We are targets of violence from all sides, and
history back through the Old Testament delineates our armed
struggle for survival. Have you forgotten the true miracle
of Hanukah, the armed insurrection of the Jews against a
vile and oppressive government? In more recent times my
family was nearly exterminated in Nazi Germany, powerless
to resist because they had acquiesced to their Government?s
demands for gun registration and then confiscation.

We are now victims of a litany of diatribe from such diverse
groups as the White Supremacists and the minions of Farrakhan,
all bent on our destruction. Temples are bombed, Jews are
attacked. You would have us stand unprotected and be willing
victims?

In Israel they have the right idea. Much of the civilian
population is armed. My cousin there has an M-16 assault
rifle and a Glock 9 mm hand-gun with which he can protect
his home and family. The incidence of firearm violence in
that heavily armed country is among the smallest in the world.

The UAHC has taken a position that is untenable for Jews. Had
we followed such advice in millenia past, then our People would
surely not exist today.

No, I will not contribute to the UAHC as long as this misguided
position against firearms is embraced by its leaders. I will
instead redouble my efforts to protect myself, my family, and
my rights. I will continue to support the Jews for the
Preservation of Firearm Ownership, JPFO.

By taking your unreasonable position against guns, you have
shot yourself in the foot.

Ralph Glasser, MD
