And that, Ghalam says, is why he wore the Star of David. And it all started with gun control, then gun confiscation, just like what's beginning in the United States. Ghalam says a Jewish rabbi personally thanked him for wearing the Star of David at one pro-gun rally. Towbin says Glass and Ghalam may have a good point about the need for private citizens to have gun rights in order to thwart genocide. But their premise about gun control efforts is flawed.
Nobody wants to disarm the public.
By saying 'don't wear the star,' or 'use child safety locks on guns,' we're not saying the government should take guns away. The stars worn by the Tyranny Response Team were printed by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, a Milwaukee-based organization that lobbies for gun rights on the premise that Hitler began his regime with gun laws. The group also argues that Southern Democrats used gun laws to oppress former slaves after the Civil War. I'm not saying those Jews who have guns are crazy. There are even some Jews who hunt.
