    Gun Issue Controversy Gives Birth To New Jewish Pro-Gun Group
                        Gun Week, November 3, 1989

An interview in the November 1989 issue of American Survival Guide has
announced the formation of a new pro-gun organization called Jews for
the preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO).

The article written by the magazine's editor, Jim Bensen, explores with
the founder of JPFO the reason for the existence of such a new group
and program of action.

Spearheading JPFO is Aaron Zelman, 43, of Milwaukee, WI, a Vietnam
veteran, national firearms distributor and co-author, with Police Lt.
Micheal Neuens, of A Consumer's Guide to Handguns. Alarmed by what he
terms "liberal Jewish anti-gunners," Zelman has undertaken a new
pro-gun activism "to expose the propaganda and myths used by all
anti-gunners, but particularly by some Jewish anti-gunners."

American Survival Guide disclaimed any intention to imply that the
interview meant that all Jews or Jewish liberals were anti-gun. Gun
Week readers who have admired the exemplary contributions by pro-gun
Jewish scholars and activists will certainly understand that no such
generalization is made by this publication either.

                        Why Another

One of the key questions Benson asked Zelman was "What can JPFO do to
defend gun ownership that is not being done by other pro-gun groups?"

Zelman answered, "Jim, it is obvious that one of the major problems we
gun owners face is the heavy influence (some call it a stranglehold) of
left wing, liberal Jewish anti-gunners in the media and government.
JPFO can do what needs to be done. Forcefully challenge those
individuals without the fear of being labeled anti-Semitic. The other
gun groups do excellent work, but they must daily tiptoe around the
truth for fear of the anti-Semitic label, which would be used by the
liberal media in the blink of an eye and without mercy. The American
public has been mislead into subconsciously thinking that by forcefully
contradicting the liberal Jewish line of thinking, one will be labelled
anti-Semitic. This is damnable and must be stopped. To emphasize my
point, can you imagine a representative of any pro-gun group saying
what I have just said in this interview, even though it is the truth?
It's not they would not want to, it's just that they're afraid of being
clobbered by the 'anti-Semitic weapon'!"

                        Censorship

Asked what were his personal reasons for starting JPFO, Zelman replied:

"There are a small percentage of Jews, like myself, who are staunch
supporters of gun ownership, but our side of the story is censored by
liberal Jews who heavily influence the mass media and government. They
only want their anti-gun views known. In effect, Jews like me, are a
minority within a minority ...

"Another reason for forming JPFO is to combat growing anti-Semitism in
America, partly caused by anti-gun Jews. Hopefully, we will succeed in
reaching non-Jewish gun owners in letting them know that not all Jews
want to take their guns away from them. We may even possibly educate
some Jewish anti-gunners and 'convert' them to the pro-freedom, pro-
American pro-gun viewpoint ..."

Zelman told American Survival Guide that JPFO is preparing a series of
advertisements that challenge liberal Jewish positions on gun
ownership, designed to put Jewish anti-gunners on the defensive. The
group will also take advantage of every opportunity to get pro-gun
Jewish speakers on radio and TV talk shows and in print media
interviews. As the group grows, it plans to organize an Incident
Response Team that would investigate and report independent findings on
such incidents as the Stockton, CA, and Louisville, KY, shootings.

Finally, the group is planning to publish a TV and motion picture guide
that would list which programs and movies are created by anti-gunners,
which personalities are anti-gun spokespesons, and which are pro-gun.
Such a directory would enable pro-gun activists to determine which
program material, sponsors and performers it would support and which it
would not.

                                Causes

"What do you think are some of the causes of Jewish involvement in the
anti-gun movement," Bensen asked.

Zelman replied:

"There are probably many, but two dominent ones come to mind.

"Most Jews, in my opinion, blame outside influences for their
misfortune. From a historical viewpoint, thousands of years of
persecution seems to lend credence to the complaint.

"Addressing the gun issue, one would have to assume that liberal Jews
in general, blame guns for crime or their previous persecutions,
instead of the person pulling the trigger ...

"Another cause, in my opinion, for liberal gun hate, is the insatiable
desire to be accepted into social circles that previously excluded Jews
..." (the powerful Ted Kennedy crowd is given as an example.)

Bensen asked: "Do American Jews fully understand the danger a disarmed
America and the effect it would have on the security of America and
Israel?"

Zelman answers: "Some do -- but the majority of American Jews who make
up the liberal anti-gun crowd do not. A disarmed America would be a
weak America and a weak America cannot help Israel continue to survive,
must less any other democracy. Precisely what the smiling communists
want to happen ..."

During the wide-ranging interview, Zelman discussed many aspects of the
gun debate in America, particularly that led by liberal Jewish anti-
gunners. He assured Benson that he saw a need for both Jews and
non-Jews to support his organization.

                        The Firing Line
                        by Aaron Zelman
                        (MACCABEE, 4/90)

Dear JPFO Members:

We're growing, having an impact, and being heard! A new JPFO chapter is
being formed in San Diego with the 1789 Committee, a very fine, "no
compromise" pro-Second Amendment, grass roots group.

Anthony Hilder of the Financial News Network of Los Angeles allowed me
to represent JPFO on two different occasions on his program, TELLING IT
LIKE IT IS. I was also interviewed by Irv Homer of WDDB in Philadel-
phia, and Steve "Boom Boom" Cannon of WTVM in Columbus, Ohio. While a
guest of Frank James of WEAG in Anchorage, Alaska, one of his callers
asked "Why are "Kikes" trying to take to take guns away from us?"
Fortunately, the other callers were glad to know JPFO existed to
preserve firearms ownership. I'm convinced the 12 1/2 hours of air time
JPFO has received (with more to come) _is_beginning_ to dispell the
sterotypical myth that all Jews are gun haters.

We've been writing to select Jewish politicians, reminding them that
their gun hate is creating ill will towards Jews. The arrogant Sen.
Carl Levin (D-Mich) sent us an anti-gun form letter in his response.
Sen. Rudy Boschwitz (R-Minn) had one of his "lackeys" call to tell me
that I "don't understand." Yes, Sen. Borschwitz, you're right, I don't
want to understand your damn gun hate Communism! Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis)
was given a membership by JPFO member Jeff Milliken. He quickly wrote a
letter requesting his name be removed from our rolls. He has yet to
answer our letter requesting that he stop creating anti-Semitism by
promoting gun hate.

Watch the WALL STREET JOURNAL -- we were interviewed by editorial
writer Robert Meier. The JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY has completed an interview
with JPFO for their NEW AMERICAN magazine. SWAT magazine has reprinted
the October '89 interview with AMERICAN SURVIVAL GUIDE. GUNS AND AMMO
is printing a JPFO letter to the editor in opposition to a letter by
Mr. Samuel Goldberg, who claims to be a survivor of Treblinka. He wants
all gun owners to "do the right thing", and "turn their guns over to
the authorities." Personally, I think Mr. Goldberg's letter is a HCI
plant. Gus Cotey, Jr.'s article about different types of gun haters
from the January MACCABEE will be reprinted in AMERICAN SURVIVAL GUIDE.
GUN WEEK has also expressed interest in reprinting articles from the
MACCABEE. Gus Cotey deserves to be congradulated as he has been invited
to join the prestigious International Wound Ballistics Association, due
to his research and writings. The NRA AMERICAN RIFLEMAN has mentioned
JPFO in its "Random Shots" section. Neal Knox's HARDCORP REPORT also
told readers about JPFO.

JPFO has been invited to participate in the Second Amendment Seminar in
Chicago, May 1990.

JPFO has been lobbying certain New Jersey legislators to derail confis-
catory semi-auto legislation. We'll see how the vote goes. Speaking of
politics, the Libertarian Party is making a _major_ effort to reach gun
owners who are disenchanted with the Republicrats that take us for
granted. I met with Richard B. Boddie, the Libertarian Presidential
candidate, a very capable man who just might win the hearts, minds and
votes of lots of gun owners. More on Mr. Boddie later.

JPFO is growing, but we _must_ reach the 1,000 member mark in order to
fund national advertising to further our efforts to put gun haters on
the defensive, and to publish the MACCABEE more often. _Please_ sign up
a new member each month. Membership forms are free for the asking. If
you are unable to sign up new members, help in any form will be
appreciated.

Please show this issue of the MACCABEE to your rabbi, and other
community leaders, and discuss with them the necessity of all Americans
(who wish to be) being armed. We have to encourage the leaders of the
Jewish community to appreciate the logic of an armed citizenry and not
have blind faith in government. Too many of them will continue to
ignore reality. I think our response to those closed minds should be a
reduction in financial support, and make sure they know it.

Keep up the good fight. It's the only way freedom will survive into the
21st century.

Best Wishes,

Aaron

                        MEMBERSHIP FORM

        Membership open to ALL Law Abiding gun owners!

JPFO is unique among pro-gun organizations. JPFO can forceably
challenge the growing number of liberal Jewish politicians and
organizations who are advocating the disarmament of America, without
being labeled "Anti-Semitic." JPFO can also work both sides of the
street by "attacking" non-Jewish gun haters, the "Sarah Brady - Bill
Bennett crowd," who don't trust the people to own firearms and want the
citizenry to be totally controlled by Big Brother Government. This is
known as the "Hitler/Stalinist Doctrine of the 1990's."

If you agree that the time has come to do things differently, and that
it's time for gun owners to "take back America," then JPFO is for you.
Please join other committed gun owners today, and keep Americans armed
by helping JPFO give the "Liberal Gun Hate Lobby" a double barrelled
magnum load of bitter medicine, as they have done to us gun owners for
years. Due to the unique structure of JPFO, we can more aggressively
challenge Ultra Liberal Jewish Anti-Gunners than other fine pro-gun
groups would ever dare do.
