Jews against guns

[Hutch]

May as well lock this one. It's headed straight down the pooper. Thanks, M-B and Tecumseh. 5 pages of reasonable dialogue before we get to the Nazi-Pope / Shia-Christian rant.

The purpose of the thread was not meant to be anti-semitic in nature, but questioning why many who happen to be of Jewish faith tend to take a anti-gun stance? The RAC for example (reform Jewish organization) tend to use religion as an excuse to ban guns, if you've ever looked at their site you will see what I mean. Same with some of the liberal rabbis. While there are catholics, muslims, buddhists and others who are anti-gun, Jews being a very small population (maybe 15 million) tend to be very mixed in political views, but it appears that perhaps the majority would be considered liberal. I think for the most part, users summed it up with the fact Jews are forbidden from hunting and also that many tend to stick in the city therefore are not exposed to guns as much as the average American not being limited to only the city.

IESZU said it all on the topic and is 100% correct. It tickles this old heart to hear the unvarnished truth.

An interesting thread. I like the insight IESZU offered also.

As a "group", people of Jewish faith have endured an awful lot of persecution throughout history.

Then again, a little over 200 years ago we started our own country and a lot of privately owned weapons were used to get rid of our colonizers.

And about 50 years ago, Great Britian had to basically beg us for every gun we could possibly send them in case the Germans decided to cross the channel.

I guess people in general just seem to forget way too easily.

True but it seems that in general people want to forget that the Majority Jewish peoples of Israel also deal it. Not all Jews in Israel but they have their own factions who advocate terrorism. For example I like to think of Baruch Goldstein as a major catalyst in stepping up Hamas attacks.

It seems that many people forget that religions themselves can inspire terrorism. Religion seems to be the leading cause of terrorism in our world. Some of it is political but not the majority in my opinion.

THIS THREAD originated on December 6, 2006 before the new rules of the now Legal forum. This was an old legal and political thread that had run its course back when.

The management here at THR made up new rules for this forum, and unless I have a serious reading comprehension problem, this thread is not allowed under the rules of this forum since its not a topic relating to a law, or some legal question involving guns.

Now of course I could be wrong if you can show me some evidence that JEWS run the world and make all of the rules.

So why has this thread been reborn????

So why has this thread been reborn????

I only posted to explain reality... but you are absolutely right about this post being in the wrong forum.

I am all for locking this thread, or having it moved to another forum... possibly under the General forum, or even under the Activism Forum: "How to convince your Jewish neighbors to become more gun-friendly"

Dunno why this got resurrected, but it's not a matter for the Legal forum. Folks oughta know better. L-E-G-A-L = Legal. As in stuff about laws and all that.
