“This is America,” my mother reassured me. “That can’t happen here.” I seem to recall German Jews saying the same thing.

“This is America,” my mother reassured me. “That can’t happen here.”All across America little Jewish boys and girls got the same answer, and pretty much all of them accepted it. That answer, though, didn’t satisfy me — and to this day I wonder how it is that Jews in America, despite no small amount of antisemitism, have so strongly devoted themselves to the belief that “it” couldn’t happen here.
Yes, "IT" could happen here. That's why our founding fathers made sure there was a second amendment. "IT" could happen almost anywhere.
I do understand why they thought the U.S. was/is safe, though.

Why are Jews anti-gun? Because Americans in urban areas are predominately anti-gun, and Jews live in urban areas.

"Can't happen here" are three of the most dangerous words in the English language.
But it's a great song by Rainbow.

Hitler would love this fact. Most of us in Texas own guns. When we got concealed gun laws passed here GUN CRIME went DOWN.

This doesn't explain why the majority in the US take liberal positions on just about everything else? Including defense against those who would like to murder them.

Just yesterday I stopped into visit with the very smart and personable observant Jew who owns probably the only gun store in my neighborhood. I may forward the link to this article to him, although I know he won’t open his computer until sundown.

...“it” couldn’t happen here. Any more fallacies to convey?

Obviously you’re not familiar with the “Diamond District” in NYC. Try robbing one of the diamond dealers walking on the street and you will witness Uzi’s coming out from under every coat.
