Yellow Jewish Star protest badge.

I am making a yellow Jewish Star like they forced the Jews to wear in the camps and I am going to write "Gun Owner" in the center and start wearing it in public.


The reason should be obvious to any gun owner or AW owner.

    I think it will be widely recognized for what it's supposed to be.

    While I share your feelings of frustration, I think that the correlation is too obtuse for many to understand. You would make yourself a target for the hate-mongers, who would twist it around to make you look bad.

    This is one of the "hot button" symbols you want to avoid.

    Why not a yellow badge in the form of a rifle or handgun instead?

    For the record a lot of the Jews that resisted also survived, The vast majority went peasefully and straight to unthinkable suffering and death. My choice would have been to take a Nazi or two with me.

    Get ready to be accused of "minimizing" the Holocaust.

    Liberal jews in particular are experts at faux indignation and hysterical overreaction when one challenges the notion that only "their people" have suffered, or been oppressed.

    they're rank amateurs compared to the disciples of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Barack Hussein Obama.

    Be funny some Neo-Nazi's get confused and beat you silly. Personally I'd go with a "Scarlet Letter" say a "G".

    I've seen two craigs list posts about it so not my original idea. I am not Jewish but am a member of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms ownership. If I get too many negitive reactions I can always stop wearing it.

    Then you will be disappointing if you visit the Holocaust Museum in Israel.
    They plainly state while 6 million Jews died in WWII and that number is used because they were specifically targeted for extinction but they say 4.5 million Jews and 6 million Gentiles were killed in the camps.
    I know that is rarely publicized but the media has never revised its figures so it is not only liberal Jews who are ignorant it is the media (who would have thought?)

    I posted your plan and a link to this thread on another board.
    Of 138 views, there are 17 replies. 14 of those don't think it's a good idea, ranging from "not so much, to are you outta your mind".....
    None of those replying said if they were Jewish or not.
    I am not Jewish, and because of that fact, I don't know if it is a good idea or not.

    It's not obvious to me.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
