Mel Bernstein of Dragon Arms in Colorado Springs wants to be sure the rabbis in his community will have the means to defend themselves. (Photo: Dragon Arms Facebook<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

To Mel Bernstein, owner of Dragon Arms in Colorado Springs, storing an AR-15 in a synagogue is as common sense as any other safety measure. And in the wake of a massacre in Pittsburg that left 11 Jews dead, he\u2019s putting his money where his mouth is.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really like what\u2019s going on in the country,\u201d he told KOAA<\/a>. \u201cAnd I\u2019m offering them a free AR-15 rifle with two magazines and 100 bullets.\u201d<\/p>\n

To those who would balk at an AR-wielding rabbi, Bernstein pointed out that a rifle in the right hands is no different than any other safety tool.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a fire in a synagogue. What do you grab? A fire extinguisher,\u201d he said, demonstrating for a local reporter. \u201cOk, let\u2019s say someone comes in and starts shooting everybody. What are you going to grab? You grab your AR-15 or a rifle or a handgun. You have to have a tool to fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox News<\/a> reported that four local rabbis have accepted Bernstein\u2019s offer and one has accepted a handgun instead. But not every synagogue leader is on board.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s absolutely generous in what he wants to do. I think he wants to help and is very well-intentioned,\u201d Jeff Ader of Temple Beit Torah told KOAA. \u201cIt just isn\u2019t for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said an AR-15 is, in a sense, a \u201cweapon of mass destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it can fire multiple rounds per second, anything can happen and my fear is that innocent bystanders get in the way and innocent people get hurt,\u201d he said. \u201cArming people is a preventative measure. It is not part of the solution at all. The solution is civil discourse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ader did admit, however, that he\u2019s talking with Bernstein about purchasing a handgun.<\/p>\n

Another synagogue-goer, who asked KOAA to remain anonymous, echoed Ader\u2019s sentiment. While she believes an AR-15 is \u201ctoo big\u201d to be used in a synagogue, she didn\u2019t have a problem with a rabbi having a handgun. In fact, many of the people who attend with her already carry weapons when they attend services.<\/p>\n

Other Jewish leaders have been more forceful in their support of armed self-protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cJews cannot disarm themselves in synagogues or anywhere else for pacifist or utopian reasons because enemies will always seek to exterminate them. Even one armed Jewish man or woman in that synagogue could have made a positive difference,\u201d said\u00a0Dov Marhoffer<\/a>, a Holocaust concentration camp survivor and Advisory Board member to Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cJews have no choice except to assume personal responsibility for having and using firearms to protect their own lives, their families, and their communities,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
