Anti-Semitic Handbills Attack Jewish Legislators Who Support Gun Control

Today's Baltimore Sun reports on anti-Semitic handbills available on the website of the organization Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). Three of the 39 handbills available from the website attack Jewish legislators-- state and federal-- for their support of firearms regulation. One attacks Maryland state Senator Brian Frosh and Marlyland state Assembly Delegate Samuel Rosenberg, proclaiming "Bagel Brain Jews Want Your Bullets and Your Guns." This flyer has been mailed by someone to homes in Frosh's district. A second flyer aimed at Maryland state Senator Michael Lenett is headlined "A Jew Should Not Support Racism!" and refers readers to a video titled "No Guns for Negroes." A third flyer portrays U.S. Senators Feinstein, Schumer, Boxer and Lautenberg in Nazi uniforms. The executive director of JPFO is Aaron Zelman of Hartford, Wisconsin, who says he is Jewish.
