Faced with a potential threat, Jewish residents are turning toward the rights protected by the 2A as a preventative measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, New York City\u2019s Jewish population has not strongly supported gun ownership.  Even though many major pro-gun voices in America are of Jewish heritage, but that pattern is shifting rapidly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JPFO views the change not as hypocrisy, but as a rise in common sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A separate report from the <em>New York Post<\/em> detailed the Democratic Socialists of America\u2019s expectations for Mamdani and highlighted their anti-Israel platform, another factor pushing New York\u2019s Jewish residents toward firearms for personal protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Times of Israel<\/em> further reported that more than 1,000 rabbis and cantors nationwide signed a letter opposing Mamdani and the normalization of anti-Zionism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Asked to condemn the phrase \u2018globalize the intifada,\u2019 Mamdani says mayors shouldn\u2019t \u2018police speech\u2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ggV2SeiGrVw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-saf-battles-government-over-post-office-carry-injunction\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/saf-post-office-carry-injunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ny-jews-arm-up-mamdani-office\" title=\"NY Jews Arm Up as Mamdani Prepares to Take Office\">SAF Battles Government Over Post Office Carry Injunction<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New York Police licensing data shows a clear response: a 14-percent spike in concealed carry permit applications after Mamdani secured the Democratic primary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firearms instructors told The <em>Times of Israel <\/em>that interest spans every corner of the community: doctors, lawyers, plumbers, and even rabbis are signing up for training. Nothing illustrates the level of concern more clearly than this rapid uptick in both applications and training enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JPFO concluded that New York\u2019s Jewish population is signaling its resolve. According to the organization, the city\u2019s Jews \u201cwill not flee, will not be disenfranchised and will not back down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"
