From Bearing Arms blog a story about more Jews buying guns to protect themselves.
Gun sales are on the increase across the country, spurred on by the Hamas terror attack on Israel last month and reports of a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents here at home. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, gun sales were more than 8% higher last month compared to last October, and gun stores nationwide are reporting scores of new customers who are interested in obtaining a firearm for the first time in their lives.
"...woman named Dani recently spoke to CNN at a gun range in Ventura County.
I hate that it’s the very real prospect of being the victim of a violent assault or even a terror attack that’s spurring so many folks to visit a gun store or a range for the first time in their lives, but I’m glad that we live in a country where the right to armed self-defense is available....
And from Red State blog;
With threats against American Jews on the rise, many have begun seeking firearms training and purchasing weapons out of fear for the safety of their communities and families, according to interviews CNN has conducted with gun range operators, firearms instructors and Jews in the US in recent days.
The Anti-Defamation League said it recorded 312 antisemitic incidents across the United States over the first three weeks after the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas broke out, including instances of harassment and assault.
A person making death threats to Jewish people near a kosher restaurant; a Jewish-owned business vandalized with anti-Israel phrases; and a driver swerving toward Jewish children while shouting, “Allahu akbar” are among the recent hate-related encounters, according to the league.
