The Gun Rabbi

Two men were shot this morning at a synagogue in LA just before Shacharit (morning services) at 6:30 AM. The police are calling it a hate crime.

This is exactly what I fear most in terms of Jewish community vulnerability and this is exactly why I am advocating defensive firearms training for synagogue attendees.

"US Authorities Urged to Overturn Death Sentence after Jury Consulted Bible" reports the UK Guardian. It's secular liberalism gone awry.

The case: a Texas man is convicted of a murder so brutal that I don't want to repeat the accusations.

The verdict? Guilty. The punishment? Death. The problem? The jury quoted the Bible in deliberations.
