“We chose to demonstrate in Annapolis wearing the yellow gun star for appropriate historical reasons.
Our use of the yellow star symbol is neither disrespectful or anti-Semitic.
It is instead the symbol of the irony of a lawmakers emulating actions that helped make the Holocaust possible. The egregious assault on the rights of all law-abiding citizens is being championed by lawmakers who refuse to acknowledge that the Holocaust was made possible in part because German Jews, having been disarmed by their government, were unable to oppose a tyrannical dictator.
We don’t want citizens of any faith to be disarmed, and thus made vulnerable. That is why we choose to remind people of what can happen to an unarmed citizenry, by using a version of an icon of that terrible tragedy.
The yellow gun star is worn now at the MGA, both indoors and out, by Jews as well as those of other faiths, or of no faith tradition at all.
Jewish or not, we wear this yellow star symbol with reverent respect for the millions of innocents who have died at the direction of their own government. We wear it to stand for those who lost their lives, and we wear it to stand up to those who would, through disarmament, make citizens, including Jews, vulnerable where they congregate.
We recognized early on that this symbolized the present threat to us in our own day: the government intentionally disarming its own citizens, again, by law.
Maryland legislators, as is THEIR history, seek to punish that part of the population they despise, as the loyal German Jews were once despised and persecuted.
Today these legislators use the same propaganda techniques and baseless fact-free speculation to limit first what we say and eventually even how we can live, and where we choose to travel if we wish to defend ourselves and our families.
They are now openly celebrating the prospect of intentionally leaving us defenseless by law, so that, inevitably, we will be lethally harmed by the criminals they annually refuse to punish.
Maryland criminals carry and recklessly use stolen firearms to commit additional crimes and to murder the defenseless, as the legislators well know. The lawmakers know that law-abiding people are not the problem, yet that is who they target.
These legislators are too intoxicated with their own hubris to be ashamed of their unsurpassed ignorance of both history and human nature. They instead live in “The World of Make-Believe” and celebrate their astonishing delusions by making laws that reflect those delusions.
Thus we regard this historical parallel of our potential defenselessness with the almost unspeakable tragedy of the Jews of Germany and Eastern Europe before, and during, WWII as being more than an obvious one.
Despite the universal plea and the admonition since the Holocaust to “Never Forget” there are MD legislators who have clearly forgotten, or worse, shamelessly ignore 20th Century human history in their hysterical zeal to punish us in the 21st.
With them, history begins only the day they were born.
This is also why they openly and proudly seek to nullify the U.S. Constitution in Maryland for the political gain of The Party, as a collateral benefit of seeing us murdered in a State where, of all States, we should be free, because our State motto, bequeathed to us by Maryland’s fallen heroes, was meant to endure forever. With them, it’s a dead letter.
Now they auction off our fundamental Rights to their highest bidders, and illegitimate bills such as SB-1 are their payoff to their child-like supporters. The Constitutional illegitimacy of these bills is a feature, not a bug.
We thank our dear Patriot brother eruby for his courage and judgement in handling this latest abomination, given his own Jewish faith, and the wisdom and sincerity of his politics.
His tremendous courage, patience and humor shines through in this despicable yet revealing episode of being ordered to leave a public hearing because he wore the yellow gun star symbol as a testimony witness.
It is too great a violation of eruby’s rights and reputation to label this confrontation and illegal ejection from the hearing yesterday as just another “infringement.”
So, as with the yellow gun star symbol, we will never forget.”
