Gun Permit Applications Surge Nearly 1,000% in New York Jewish Community

Good. For too long Jews in New York City have been terrorized by the Left, as the pro-criminal and anti-Semitic mayor did nothing but blame President Trump. Jewish Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms for the purpose of self-defense.

Gun Permit Applications Surge Nearly 1,000% in New York Jewish Community

Story continues below advertisement

By Breitbart, January 14, 2019:

Gun permit applications surged nearly 1,000 percent in New York’s Jewish community since the December 28, 2019, attack on Hasidic Jews in a rabbi’s home.

The Washington Examiner reports that the surge is clear in Rockland County, the very county in which the rabbi’s home was attacked. The Rockland County Clerk’s office reported the “nearly 1,000 percent increase in gun permit applications in the week following the Dec. 28 attack.”

Erik Melanson, owner of Rockland County’s Precision Gunsmiths, said, “A lot of people are worried, especially the large Hasidic and Jewish community in Rockland County. I have had rabbis come in. Some of the rabbis already have concealed carry [permits].”

On October 27, 2018, an attacker killed 11 innocents at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There was no armed security at the synagogue at the time of the attack.

On April 27, 2019, an attacker killed one innocent and wounded three others by opening fire on Chabad of Poway in San Diego, California.

On December 10, 2019, two attackers killed a Jersey City police officer, then holed up in a Jewish market, where three civilians were killed.

The New York Times reported the December 28, 2019 attack in which a suspect armed with a machete wounded five Hasidic Jews in a rabbi’s home. The victims tried to defend themselves by throwing furniture at the attacker.

On January 8, 2020, Breitbart News reported HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky indicating Americans can carry guns to the synagogue on the Sabbath for self-defense.

Not only that they could have fought back before the cattle cars came about.
We might need them to avoid Bernie’s Gulags plans for his opposition.

Applications are one thing. Approved applications and licensure are quite another matter. If NYNY issues more permits …. that cannot be, as …. the official motto of the Democrat Party is … Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry.

If they get permits, getting a concealed carry is very difficult in NY.
They’d rather the criminals be armed without permits and concealed carry.
They really DO want you defenseless.
Even pepper spray is illegal but most people ignore it and carry it anyway.

Good news at last from New York’s Jewish community.

When you ban decent responsible people from carrying a weapon for their own defence,you create a safe space for a terrorist.

It’s not “IF” the JEWS will fight back.
It’s “WHEN” the JEWS will fight back.
..and they will….

don’t worry about the permit, just carry the gun. if you get arrested, insist on a jury with at least one member of the Jewish community. it is called jury nullification. better to be tried than carried

Can’t wait to see the story where one of these newly armed Jewish people blasts a would-be robber/attacker in the street. Hopefully, it will be caught on security camera, so the whole country can enjoy watching a human piece of garbage get it.

“New York Law enforcement officials: Known gangbangers released under new ‘bail reform’ law”
a lot of these converted to islam in prison. More importantly gun crime is not prosecuted, while Northam and Dem leadership go after law abiding Citizenry, the actual offenders and source of all FBI data on gun misuse, are not jailed/probation or let out quickly.
