Date: Mon, 28 Mar 1994 21:15:31 GMT Excerpted from "Holocaust Survivor Denounces Anti-Gun-Ownership Movement" 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) 2872 S.
