CAN ONE HIDE THEIR ANTISEMITISM BEHIND THE SECOND AMENDMENT
Refusal To Grant A Permit To Carry A Weapon
Dear Reader,
Tuesday, as I was writing my previous post, “Right Of Self-Defense,” I debated with myself about including another, closely related thought. I decided against doing it so I would not, in any way, dilute the primary message. Today, I continued the debate and concluded that the thought deserves being mentioned as a separate post.
Previously, I suggested that it should be considered unconstitutional to deny a Jew (or any person in a similar situation) a permit to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense purposes because of the vague fear of what may happen as opposed to having to confront a specifically directed personal threat. I used as an example the threat that the regrowth of antisemitism in the USA and around the world poses to Jews. We must not forget that vicious antisemitism has been and still is being voiced in the halls of Congress by elected representatives, and Jews, once again, are randomly being assaulted on the streets of the USA and Europe as well on the campuses of colleges/universities: in addition, the media and city officials refuse to speak out against this ancient human pathology while various supposed groups claiming to be defenders of social justice promulgate Jew hatred. And, let us not forget the large, glass den of iniquity on 42nd St at the East River in New York City known as the UN - largely supported by American taxpayers - which continually spews forth its toxic, antisemitic venom. Life for Jews has become quite precarious - like “a fiddler on the roof.”
Thus, when some fool, somewhere says that Hitler didn’t finish the job and Jews should die, why should any Jew (or any persons in a similar situation) be denied a concealed weapons permit? They should not be denied!
This raises the question - the subject of my internal debate: is it not possible for an individual, or a group, to carry out their antisemitism by denying Jews permits and their right to self-defense? Since it is virtually impossible to know why a person does what (s)he does when in a position of power, it seems to me one can hide their acts of hate behind the law. Thus, I conclude that denying such people weapon carrying permits is unconstitutional.
