There are no doubt more liberal Christian people than liberal Jews, in absolute numbers, but the majority of American Jews still support the Democratic Party -- nearly 80% voted for Barack Obama. It is not a perfect proxy for support of gun control, but it's pretty close. Most American Jews live in very "blue" population centers and have very "blue" politics.cheezit wrote:I dont know how true that is.baldeagle wrote:How ironic.

Personal experience is quite different. Ive meet far more liberal Christian peoples in my life then jews.
Robert Avrech, self-described Emmy Award winning screenwriter, observant Jew, religious Zionist, conservative Republican, member of the NRA, often comments -- with great frustration -- on this. He had an epiphany (ahem! in a manner of speaking!) about individual ownership of guns when he and his wife got caught in the middle of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots.

If Rabbi Margolin wants guns for his people, he should move them to Red State America. It ain't gonna happen in Europe, and not even in Israel.
