the need
January 10, 2010 6:00 pm

there is a need for some sociologists (a team) to work with the police dept and others, to develop some plan here. This is so incredibly out of control. Aren’t the police embarassed that they con’t do the job? The Board of Ed also, they can’t help raise the kids that end up doing this.
pathetic state of existence.

Agreed.
however if the time may arise that we will need them, they will not magically apear from the sky. so we have a obligation to go out now, before something happens and buy some. because as someone who knows weapons and has used them numerous times, i can assure you its not as simple as picking one up and shooting. so people before its too late go out and get some training

Don’t forget that the Fridiker Rebbe carried a hand gun with him to defend himself against communist Jews. I think that no one is holier or has more emunah than the Frikder Rebbe! Yes, it would be nicer if Moshiach comes and guns will became plow shares but you are not smart if you think that NY state limiting good citizens from owning guns, will keep us safer. For example, these criminals broke the gun laws! OMG! What happened there? Oh, right.. they are criminials they do that… they somehow found a way to buy a gun… And worst yet,… Read more »

your stament that it would be best of there were no weapons is not realistic from a chasidic point of view. since the way that G-d intended the world to run, until Moshiach comes there will always be good and evil. hence the evil wil always have a way to do their evil. from the first man who killed his brother, all the way down to israel today where the arabs want us dead and crown heights where we are taken advantage of and attacked due to our fear of fighting back. so be it with a club 5,000 years… Read more »

Thanks for YOUR own will to fight for what you find out is right, but if you compare my statement with your answer, there is no disagreement between them. You just explained it with more historical facts, arguments and passion. And I’m thinking about emailing you!

Your statement makes no sense based on jewish history. all of out ancestors were proficient in war. Dovid Hamelch thanks G-d numerous times for teaching him how to fight in battle. when Dovid would take out his sword in battle he would not put it back in his sheath until he killed 1,000 men.all over Tanach we are commanded to go to battle and fight the wars of G-d. do you think we were going with a Chuosh and a fork? we went in full battle gear. Shaul lost his kingship because he didn’t kill the cattle of Amolaik, so… Read more »

It would be the best option for the weapons not to exist at all, but- yes, good people should have the chance (and will) to protect and defend themselves!

self defence
January 10, 2010 2:48 am

it’s time that every person learn some self defense men women and children these people where lucky nothing serious happened. and yes even a few weapons in safe hands should be more available criminals have them why not a few good men have them too.
