because of people like this
http://heebmagazine.com/according-to-az-republican-official-jews-did-sandy-hook/41423

theres enough idiots out there that i feel the need to be armed.
in a country where countless numbers of faux news viewers believe that out president if a muslim,kenyan whatever it wouldnt take much for anti jew hysteria to get stirred up.
i believe better safe than sorry

Is it really worth stockpiling your house with deadly weapons against those cowards?

The reality is that there is a lot of hate on the internet, but it's highly unlikely to manifest itself in a situation where you will be put at harm.

Are you afraid there is a large secret underground collection of Nazis in this country who suddenly one night will decide to rise up and re-enact Kristelnacht?

I'm not trying to be insulting when I'm telling you I think you are completely delusional.

If you need guns to get away from the insanity, then you need help.

Just be happy with one gun, and a 10 ammo clip. That should make YOU happy and armed.

Not assault rifles which serves no purpose but claim lives. Human and otherwise.

No sane gun owner would keep assault rifles.

Now get back into the RKBA forum and wait for the FEMA camp guards to pick you up.

i don't know a single jew in the USA that fears for their life. But if you are thinking you need such firepower- why not move to somplace where you can live a normal life? Like ANY major city or college town. brecause thinking you need an assualt weapon is NOT normal.

my stepdad lost his family in the holocaust
jews living in germany didnt think it could happen to them.
througout history jews have been kicked out of places as a scapegoat when things get tough.

and i live in a major city that is a college town.

Nowhere are we in the United States on the precipice of any type of genocide against our own people.

I have family that were sent to gulags by Stalin. That doesn't mean jack shit today.

and I find the need for guns insulting.

My grandfather has lived all his life and even survived Auschwitz until his death in 2001 without ANY form of weapons. Knives were the only exception and his dental tools was more than enough for self-defense.
