When you rely on government for your protection.

Switzerland just voted to end their personal responsibility for their security.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said that while guns could help Jews defend themselves against an individual attack, only authorities can protect them against a mass attack like those carried out in France.

The Rabbi should stick to what he knows IMHO.

It seems like a pretty sizable group of Jews decided that Rabbi Cooper's worldview was obsolete on or before April of 1945 and have thereafter acted accordingly. They don't pledge to never allow themselves to be slaughtered during a concerted effort to eradicate their people; they pledge to never allow it AGAIN. That doesn't seem to have happened in the US.

Many groups could be forgiven for an inability to imagine an existential threat to their people, culture and faith. I don't see how a Jew could make that error. I remember believing that anti-Semitism had died out as an ideology during the 1940s until I was 18. I was the student council president, and a thick package arrived addressed to the school, attention "student council president" from some PO Box in North Carolina. It was the last period, and I had already taken my Government AP test so I didn't really care about the lectures at that point. The letter seemed odd so I opened it, and found a giant mass of "literature" covering every anti semitic stereotype that existed. It started with pages on how the Holocaust never happened and then branched out into how some grand Jewish conspiracy was behind everything from high interest rates to low interest rates to wars to bad breath. I didn't get much farther, but I didn't really need to. I handed it to my teacher at the end of class, but I doubt anything ever came of that as it didn't really have a return address.

I guess it is possible for people to be so sheltered that they don't believe that there are people who hate Jews to the point of wishing that Hitler had killed them all. It must be, because before that day I didn't think that such people still existed. But they do, and they're smart enough not to advertise their opinions. I know that BitterClinger spends a lot more time than I do trying to convince Jews to carry, but I don't think that he is any more frustrated than I am by their near global refusal to do so.

So I guess, though, not surprised, that the answer was no?

Sorry again. It sounded so current, I didn't even think to look. It will have to be the second thing I look at when I see something.
