by Aaron Zelman, American Survival Guide, November 1990, pp. 62-66.

[Zelman interviews Theodore Haas]

	'If Only We Were Armed' - Q. Did the camp inmates [Dachau] ever
	bring up the topic, "If only we were armed before, we would
	not be here now"?
	
	A. Many, many times. Before Adolf Hitler came to power, there
	was a black market in firearms, but the German people had been
	so conditioned to be law abiding that they would never consider
	buying an unregistered gun. The German people really believed
	that only hoodlums own guns. What fools we were. It truly 
	frightens me to see how the government, media and some police
	groups in America are pushing for the same mindset. In my
	opinion, the people of America had better start asking and
	demanding answers to some hard questions about firearms ownership,
	especially, if the government does not trust me to own firearms,
	why or how can the people be expected to trust the government?
	
	There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have
	been saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun
	ownership and had been well armed. Hitler's thugs and goons
	were not very brave when confronted by a gun. Gun haters always
	want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect
	example of how a ragtag, half-starved group of Jews took 10
	handguns and made asses out of the Nazis.
	
	[...]
	
	Q. What words of warning would you give young people who will
	soon be eligible to vote?
	
	A. Vote only for politicians who trust the people to own all
	types of firearms, and who have a strong pro-Second Amendment
	voting record. Anti-gun-ownership politicians are very
	dangerous to a free society. Liberty and freedom can only
	be preserved by an armed citizenry. I see creeping fascism
	in America, just as in Germany, a drip at a time; a law here,
	a law there, all supposedly passed to protect the public. Soon
	you will have total enslavement. Too many Americans have
	forgotten that tyranny often masquerades as doing good. This _IS_
	the technique the Liberal politicians/ Liberal media alliances
	are using to enslave America.
	
	Q. What messages do you have for ultra-Liberal organizations
	and individuals who want America disarmed?
	
	A. Their ignorance is pitiful - their lives have been too easy.
	Had they experienced Dachau, they would have a better idea of
	how precious freedom is. These leftists should live in the
	tradition of America or they should leave America. These Sarah
	Brady types must be educated to understand that because we
	have an armed citizenry, that a dictatorship has not happened
	in America. These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to Liberty 
	than street criminals or foreign spies.
	
	Q. Some concentration camp survivors are opposed to gun
	ownership. What message would you like to share with them?
	
	A. I would like to say, "You cowards, you gun haters, you
	don't deserve to live in America. Go live in the Soviet Union,
	if you love gun control so damn much." It was the stupidity of
	these naive fools that aided and abetted Hitler's goons and
	thugs. Anti-gun-ownership Holocaust survivots insult the
	memories of all those that needlessly perished for lack of
	being able to adequately defend themselves.
	
	Q. It appears the Liberal left in America is tolerating, and
	sometimes espousing anti-Semitism. Why do you think so many
	Jews still support the leftist form of Liberalism?
	
	A. It is for this very reason that I firmly feel that we harbor
	more stupid and naive people in our midst, than any other group
	of people. It amazes me how Liberal Jews have such short 
	memories that today, they would be so supportive and involved
	in setting up the mechanics of gun control, so that a Holocaust
	can happen again. All they're doing is playing into the hands of
	the very clever communists who are masters at conning Americans.
	
	Q. Why did you join JPFO?
	
	A. I feel every Jew should be armed to the teeth, as should
	every American. I joined JPFO because as a group, we can stand
	up to Liberal Jewish gun haters and also to Gestapo-minded
	anti-gun police who want total control of the people. I wish
	JPFO was in existance years ago. I beleive the Jewish involvement
	in gun control would not be anywhere close to what we have today,
	but better now than never.
