Not Kosher
The Worship of Gunloonery
"I wasn't trying to make a statement, but a statement was made," said Meza, a former Baptist preacher who converted to Judaism and studied to be a rabbi.
"I'm not advocating for everyone to walk around with an AK-47, but I walk around with a handgun on the Sabbath, and I think it would be better if most Jews did. It's better to have the gun and not need it than need it and not have it, especially in a religious environment."
But Tommy Baer, a Richmond attorney who was president of B'nai B'rith International, a Jewish service organization, called that statement "vigilante nonsense." He said he viewed the video with "complete revulsion" and found it offensive.
"Weapons, especially … an automatic rifle, have no place in a synagogue," Baer said.
Opinions vary. I know some Christians that believe firearms don't belong in churches, either, and some that do.
ReplyDeleteIt comes down to personal opinion, which should not be used to control people we disagree with (especially through laws).

"'Weapons, especially … an automatic rifle, have no place in a synagogue,' Baer said."
ReplyDeleteHe's better check with Isreal on that one. I think he would find they disagree.
