Many American Jewish families now arming themselves for the first time.
Gun sales in the Jewish American community are surging in the wake of the escalating Mideast crisis, according to multiple outlets.
Jewish families in Southern California are now arming themselves for the first time, especially after FBI Director Chris Wray raised alarm over the immediate concern of Iranian sleeper cells in America.
On the opposite side of America, gun salesmen are noting a similar trend as one Georgia outlet has experienced a 30% increase in sales. RedState reports:
Tood Whiddon, assistant manager with Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, said he’s witnessing the trend firsthand.
“We are seeing Jewish customers buying their first guns,” Whiddon said. “Overall, we’re seeing about a 30-percent increase in business.”
State Rep. Esther Panitch, (D) 51, says antisemitism has been rising in recent years on the right and the left and has spiked since the Hamas terror attack a few weeks ago.
“It’s a dark and dangerous time for Jews right now,” Panitch, who is the only Jewish American lawmaker in the Georgia legislature, said.
“I’ve heard from people in the community who are afraid who have talked about other types of self-defense, including firearms,” Panitch said. “I have upgraded my weapons training as a result of what’s going on.”
Notably, Americans of all backgrounds are recognizing and now utilizing the Second Amendment:
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
