A mere two days after a gunman killed 10 at the Future Helpless Victim, gun-free facilities on the Umpqua Community College campus–the New York Daily News called for the U.S. State Department to designate the National Rifle Association (NRA) a “terrorist organization.”

My Daily News sucks!
Nearly every major Jewish organization is on an NRA enemies list, which also includes former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Barbra Streisand, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Brooks and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was San Francisco Board of Supervisors president in 1978 when Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were murdered.
Why are Jews largely in favor of gun control? It may be because we are an urban people, who “lack a culture of hunting and gun ownership,” Rabbi Eric Yoffie, the former president of the Union of Reform Judaism, wrote in a 2012 Haaretz column.
“The NRA is associated in the minds of many Jews with extremist positions that frighten Jews and from which they instinctively recoil,” wrote Yoffie, who is also on the NRA’s enemies list. “But — let’s tell the truth — the NRA supports the right of almost any terrorist suspect, wife-beater and crook to buy almost any weapon at almost any time, no questions asked. And to Jews this just makes no sense.”
The gun debate — if one can call it that — yields no common ground because we don’t accept the same premises.
One side argues personal protection. “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre argued after the Newtown shootings.
The other side says the presence of a gun in the home is an invitation to disaster. “What the NRA doesn’t realize is that if a criminal thinks you have a gun, he becomes more vicious,” said McNamara back in 1987.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, an organization of several thousand based in Bellevue, Washington, takes issues with such stances, emphasizing that Jews — of all people — must be able to defend themselves.
The group has a rabbinic director, New Jersey Orthodox Rabbi Dovid Bendory, who is also an NRA gun instructor. In a paper titled “Why Jews Hate Guns,” he and Alan Korwin of GunLaws.com offer their top 10 reasons, dismissing them one by one. High on the list is “a disproportional incidence of hoplophobia,” a term coined as a pejorative to claim that those who fear weapons (hoplon, in Greek) are somehow morbidly irrational. http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/75076/the-column-are-jews-and-the-nra-natural-enemies/
