It is obvious that there is a oddly large number of Jewish people in the anti-gun movement. Though if you look deep enough, you will see that the Jewish community seem to be in full favor of a well armed government

Because it worked out so well for them in the 1930s and '40s.

Somehow, I don't think the Nazis could have killed six million of them if every time the Gestapo came knocking on the Goldstein's door they were met with a shotgun blast instead of meek compliance.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
