Gun Club for Liberals: The Un-NRA - Yahoo I never heard of these cats, not too sure what to think......
Lots of groups out there that don't fit their stereotypical roles.
For example take these folks Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership if you look at the members of that religion they overwhelming vote for the democratic ticket. However from their past, you would think that every last one of them would want to be armed to the teeth against possible organized, government or others, oppression. But they stand for a party that would happily take that ability away from them.
Problem with our political parties is they tend to lump a lot of stuff into one basket, and try to 'own' that policy/position. Having a different view about a portion of that platform sometimes does not make folks willing to go against all the other stances of that group they feel strongly about.
This is part of our political problem. A candidate that espouses a strongly different view on a single issue of a political parties platform draws ire and attack from both sides. (ask Ron Paul what happens when you step outside the parameters......)
I have a few guesses as to why Jews would want to protect themselves — even against oppressive government. As unlikely as that is to ever happen...
