Belgian Jews repudiate
call for gun ownership
By Sam Sokol. The Jerusalem Post
"Brussels-based cleric has no authority to speak in name of country's Jewry", chief rabbi says.
Belgian Jewish leaders denounced calls for their governments to issue gun permits to members of their communities this weekend, saying that such efforts could lead to harrowing consequences.
Last week, Rabbi Menachem Margolin, the Brussels-based head of the European Jewish Association (EJA) and the affiliated Rabbinical Center of Europe, sent a letter to senior officials in a number of EU states requesting that gun laws be loosened to allow "designated people" among Europe's Jews "to own weapons for the essential protection of their communities."
"Both community heads and Jewish business owners should be trained in firearms and be permitted to carry them", he said in a statement......... 
Following a brutal attack on the Bataclan, the nightclub under Jewish ownership for 40 years (a fact omitted from mainstream reports), by Muslim jihadis (a fact downplayed in mainstream reports), European Jews argue against even being trained or allowed to get permits, which is incredible taking into account current circumstances.
(It would appear that 'gun-free-zones' still win the day.)
"You don't have to be Jewish to fight by our side."
