In response to an opinion article published in your June 6th edition titled “Cease and Desist,” I would like to offer the following response:
Stop living in a world of close-minded delusional reality. There is no one coming to help you and your family except you. While you may feel safety in your own isolation, pop your head out of the sand and look around. There is an air of hostility towards all things Jewish and no one is looking at your political views before they judge you as a Jew. A firearm is a tool, a means of protecting yourself, your family and your loved ones. It does come with a great responsibility. The responsibility to learn how to properly use it, when its use is justified and when it is not. I am amazed by how polarizing an inanimate object can be when there are mobs of people out there chanting for your annihilation. Instead of villainizing those who wish to afford themselves the means to protect themselves and their loved ones, perhaps try to understand them instead.
