                   JEWISH PRO-FIREARMS GROUP
               CHALLENGES ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE
           TO OPEN DEBATE ON MILITIAS AND GUN CONTROL
     May 2, 1995 -- "The Anti-Defamation League is driving the
post-Oklahoma feeding frenzy on militia groups and by doing so
has libeled every American who wants to uphold the civil right to
be armed," says Aaron Zelman, a Conservative Jew, Vietnam-era
veteran, and federally-licensed firearms dealer who heads the
4,000-member Milwaukee-based organization, Jews for the
Preservation of Firearms Ownership.  "JPFO -- which has shown
publicly that 'gun control' has repeatedly cleared the way for
genocides in this century -- demands that the Anti-Defamation
League stop defaming decent, law-abiding Americans."
     Zelman calls the ADL's recent media appearances "vile
defamation of militias  ... extremely dangerous  ...  a tool to
undermine our civil right to be armed, which is a key pillar of
the Bill of Rights."  Zelman continues, "We need to be very clear
that the ADL defames all militias as being racists, hatemongers,
bigots, etc.  These charges are bald-faced lies!  The ADL even
labels as an anti-Semite an Orthodox Jew, Norm Resnick, who urges
firearms ownership and hosts a 'patriot' talk show in Colorado."
     "The ADL just doesn't get it," says Zelman.  "They don't see
that the biggest murderer of Jews has not been underground hate
groups -- such as the KKK, the Weathermen, etc. -- but
governments gone bad.  By contrast, almost all militia members
love the Rule of Law."
     Zelman says, "We publicly challenge the Anti-Defamation
League to debate JPFO in an open forum.  They need to apologize
to the millions of Americans whom they have defamed, and explain
their support for 'gun control,' a policy that has cleared the
way for seven major genocides in which 56 million persons --
including millions of children -- have been murdered."
     JPFO is an aggressive civil rights and educational
organization, founded in October, 1989, which aims to destroy the
idea that 'gun control' is desirable.  It publishes THE FIREARMS
SENEL, a quarterly journal.  It has published several books,
including LETHAL LAWS: GUN CONTROL IS THE KEY TO GENOCIDE, which
reproduces the very 'gun control' laws that cleared the way for
mega-murder.
     Zelman will next speak on May 2, 1995 at the University of
Iowa, in Iowa City, Papa John Business College, Room W-151, from
7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Contact Mike Ierly in Iowa City for
information: (319) 358-4522.
