The Irish Savant : What's the deal with Jews and gun control?

What's the deal with Jews and gun control?

The American obsession with owning guns has always been a source of amazement to me. Why would any civilian want to be armed like a commando or have a house resembling Woolwich Arsenal? And if hunting - i.e. killing animals for pleasure - is your thing then why not take a job in an abattoir? 

Having said that the gun control movement there makes no sense in that probably 95% of murders are committed, not by ordinary citizens, rather by criminals who will not be even remotely deterred by more restrictive legislation. So why the raft of legislation and supporting propaganda over the last twenty years or so?

And boy, what a tsunami it's been. Doing some research on the subject I was overwhelmed, staggered, by the sheer number and scope of the laws introduced over that time frame. 

Looking more closely I was also struck by the overwhelming Jewish role in the whole control movement. 

The big breakthrough came with the Gun Control Act of 1968 which was introduced by Emanuel Celler (who also did sterling work in opening America to the Third World tidal wave) while later on Senators Howard Metzenbaum, Herbert Kohl, Diane Feinstein, Arlen Specter, Joe Lieberman, Barbara Boxer and Frank Lautenberg continued the good work. Same thing happened in the House. And of course where would we be without good old Chucky Schumer and Mike Bloomberg, who never ever give the subject a rest?

And it's not just politicians. As far as I can see all of the major gun control lobby groups have major Jewish representation and financing, with the corollary that almost all major Jewish organisations support the restriction project.  This from the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility which represents a virtual who's who of leading "American" Jewish organisations including: "The Anti-Defamation League, Bet Alef, Congregation Beth Shalom, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, Kavana Cooperative, Kol HaNeshamah, National Council of Jewish Women, Stroum Jewish Community Center, Temple Beth Am, Temple Beth Hatfiloh, Temple Beth Or, Temple B’Nai Torah, Temple De Hirsch Sinai, Tikvah Chadashah, Herzl Ner Tamid, Temple Beth El and the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center."

Why would Jews be so hostile to private gun ownership? 

After all, they portray themselves  - ad nauseam - as hapless hard-working victims of state-sponsored pogroms throughout history. But like so much of the Approved Version of History this trope doesn't stand up. In actual fact Jews have always managed to inveigle themselves into the role of eminence grise, at the side of or behind the actual rulers, as 'advisors', enablers, financiers etc. This role, so obvious in every Western country today, seems to have applied for centuries, even in Muslim regions. My own research into pogroms suggests that for the most part - there most certainly have been exceptions - but for the most part they've been spontaneous outbursts by the hoi polloi.

As an explanation for this apparent paradox I offer the experience of colonialism. Understand that every colonial power assigned top priority to disarming the colonised population. 

Check out this site to get an idea of the blood, treasure and variety of tactics (carrots, sticks, deception) deployed by the British Empire in separating the natives from their arms. Am I uncharitable in suggesting that Jews regard America as colonised territory, a territory in which their position relative to the general population is analogous to  that of - for example - Whites in Kenya under colonialism? The nightmare scenario for the settler there was the prospect of being surrounded by well-armed Kikuyu or Matabele tribesmen. 

Which explains why West Bank settlers are armed to the teeth day and night. (A practice with which Feinstein et al seem, strangely, to have no difficulty.) 

So maybe in the fevered imagination of Jewish gun control advocates White Christians represent the natives outside the compound poised to slit their throats at the first opportunity.

In that case if you are the Government  doesn't it make sense for guns to be controlled by the Government?
