Wer Weisse, wer weisse? [shrugging shoulders]

Quoted: I beg to differ...I'm not Jewish,but I've met more than few Jews who were right wing conservatives and gun nuts. Semper Fi,

Yes, but only just 'more than a few'!

With their History, I would expect them to be running the NRA at this point!

'Never Again!' sounds so weak and puny when all you can do is shake your fist at your tormentors!

This is still somewhat rooted in the Jewish culture but its changing.  Some Jews have been in the Country from the beginning, the vast majority immigrated in the late 19th and earliest 20th century.  They worked in the sweatshops of New York and other major cities and were blue color labor or tradesmen.  As such, they identified with the Democratic party.  They also prized education, but prejudice being what it is, they were only able to get their children into the more liberal universities, again, indoctrination in the liberal mindset.  Now, through the fullness of time these Jews worked hard and prospered.  Most were never personally touched by the holocaust.  It did not happen to them so they didn't get the real feel for the " Never Again " mindset as did the Jews who fled Europe after the war for Israel.  This is however changing and not just slowly.  Jews are joining the Republican Party in droves.  Why?  Because the Republican party now better represents their core values and is a better friend to their distant cousins in Israel.  Additionally, through the hard work from the last century many Jews have prospered.  They are now owners of business, Captains of industry and have fully assimilated into the upper classes that were once reserved for the waspish elite.  Jews in our society now attend the Cottillian and join the same countryclubs and intermarriage with other caucasian groups is now commonplace.  Note that there is no spot on the Census to indicate Jewish as an ethnicity because in this country it is not considered as such.  

As to firearms ownership, Jews in general were urban due to their professions, additionally dietary laws dictate how an animal must be killed and still be kosher, this is inconsistent with hunting and more consistent with farming.  The only guns urban Jews in this country had faced, were those in the hands of robbers in these urban environments.  Its normal for people to fear that which they don't understand and are not familiar with.  Its simple human nature.  Now I know alot of Jews of every size shape hair and eye color and description.  Alot own guns, alot don't.  They are however coming around.  I make it my duty to take Jews shooting regularly.  I have never had one, man or woman, who didn't enjoy the experience.
