A gun dealer in Colorado Springs, Colo., has offered a free AR-15 rifle to local temples for protection following the mass killing of 11 Jews at a Pittsburgh synagogue by an anti-Semitic gunman.
Mel Bernstein, owner of Dragon Arms, told Fox News on Sunday that four local rabbis in Colorado Springs took him up on his offer and a fifth accepted the offer of a handgun.
“I feel very bad that someone can walk in to a synagogue or church and start shooting and they can’t protect themselves,” Bernstein said.
He said each rabbi filled out a background check. ..."
“I don’t really like what’s going on in the country and I’m offering them a free AR-15 rifle with two magazines and hundred bullets,” he told the station.
The station reported interviewing the president of one local synagogue about Bernstein’s offer.
“I think he wants to help and is very well intentioned,” Jeff Ader of Temple Beit Torah said. “It just isn’t for us.”
He said the AR-15 was, in a sense, a “weapon of mass destruction.”
“If it can fire multiple rounds per second, anything can happen and my fear is that innocent bystanders get in the way and innocent people get hurt,” he said.
The station reported that Ader was in talks with Bernstein over choosing a handgun instead.
Scott Levin of the Colorado Anti-Defamation League told the station that a rabbi with a gun causes image issues. He said he felt it would be a disruption.
Bernstein, who is Jewish, told Fox News he had gotten calls from rabbis around the country asking about his offer, but he said he couldn’t ship guns to them because they’re out of state.
“I can’t supply every rabbi because I’d be out of business,” he said.

“innocent bystanders get in the way and innocent people get hurt”
Yeah, can’t take that risk trying to stop a mass shooting.
There is a pro 2nd Amendment group known as Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
Good to see they are apparently oblivious to the filthy democrat normal magazine ban.
Thanks!

Don’t worry about us hitting innocent bystanders...worry about the cops doing that.

I would’ve thought they would offer something more familiar to Jews.......an Uzi.
They’ve been around for a long time, there’s some good material there.
