Harvard Study: No Correlation Between Gun Control And Less Violent Crime

Tweet Good grief. You know the world is shifting off its axis when a Harvard study comes to the conclusion that more guns means less crime. As a reminder of how this plays out in the real world, here’s Jew Without a Gun, Seraphic Secret’s most widely read post about the 1992 L.A. riots, in […]

Husband Shoots Two Bank Robbery Suspects Who Kidnapped Him, His Wife

Tweet It happened in Texas. A free citizen under siege by two criminals defended himself and his wife by force of arms. Will Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or Barack Hussein Obama now lecture us about the evils of guns? Will they tell us that they could have been these two kidnap victims who fought back? […]

Gun Control Black Control

Tweet Every American should support the right to bear arms. It was free American blacks with guns—given to them by NRA Republicans—who were able to defend themselves against the Dixie Democrats and the KKK. H/T Myrna & Joe Strapp

Obama’s Philistine Gun Control

Tweet Obamacare has nothing to do with health. The redefinition of marriage to include same sex couples (why not polygamy?) has nothing to do with civil or human rights. And gun control has nothing to do with curbing violence. These social justice movements—code for Marxism—are methods whereby our civil society is undermined by the radical […]

More Liberal Wisdom: “Defend Yourselves With Ball Point Pens.” Plus a Proustian Digression

Tweet As a Hollywood screenwriter, I pride myself on having a pretty vivid imagination. But I have to admit that the average liberal/Democrat/progressive manages to come up with anti-gun narratives that are, to put it mildly, beyond imagination. Yesterday, Seraphic Secret highlighted some liberal rape prevention advice from the University of Colorado Springs, which included […]

Inevitable: “We Need to Look at Handguns”

Tweet When Democrats talks about a living breathing constitution, they are really talking about rewriting the Constitution to fit their fashionable PC ideology—whatever that might be on in any particular voting cycle. And when Democrats talk about gun control, they are really talking about the banning and confiscation of all weapons purchased by law-abiding citizens. […]

High School Coach Shoots Street Thugs

Tweet In the world according to liberals, the 70-year-old coach would be unarmed so the thugs could beat him to death, then rape and murder the female students. Actually, stories like this take place every single day in America. But the media deliberately fail to report such incidents because: 1. Guns are evil — as […]

Gun Confiscation in Australia: How’s That Working Out?

Tweet Take a look at what’s happening in Australia as the anti-gun fanatics move towards a complete weapons ban for private citizens. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that good citizens will hand over their weapons rather than stand in violation of the law and go to jail. Criminals then take advantage of the […]

Stalked: Girl Without A Gun

Tweet I am republishing this true life story from 2007 for the same reason I republished Jew Without a Gun, my nightmarish report of being trapped with my family, unarmed and defenseless, in the 1992 L.A. Riots. This is another cautionary tale — not about the riots — but about one frightened and helpless young […]

Jew Without a Gun

Tweet I am republishing my three-part series about the Los Angeles Riots of 1992 in which Karen and I and the children were trapped for several frightening hours. We were unarmed, helpless save for our wits. The police were conspicuously absent and the bad guys, frequently armed with heavy weapons, owned the streets. It was […]

Israel and China React to the Massacre of the Innocent at Sandy Hook

Tweet The following is the text of the letter that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent to US President Barack Obama: Dear President Obama, I was shocked and horrified by today’s savage massacre of innocent children and adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. We in Israel have experienced such cruel acts of slaughter […]

Girls With Guns

Tweet In the wake of the atrocity last week at Sandy Hook elementary school, we are, once again, beng lectured by statist utopians that the problem is guns, that America is steeped in a culture of violence, that free citizens need to hand over more control to government agencies. The truths are simple and stark: […]

The Colorado Atrocity

Tweet In the wake of the Colorado massacre Seraphic Secret has a few thoughts. The media consistently refer to the massacre as a tragedy. As our son Ariel ZT’L observed after 9-11, “Why do they keep calling it a tragedy? It’s an atrocity.” Death caused by flood, fire, earthquake, tsunami, traffic accident, these are tragedies. But […]

Jews and Guns

Tweet Okay, no Jews in this clip of William Shatner from the TV series Boston Legal. But because most liberal American Jews make believe the Second Amendment does not exist, or does not mean what it says, or believe that inanimate objects are evil, I frequently link the words Jew and Gun in the […]

Philistine Gun Control and Jews

Tweet Now, not a smith was to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make swords or spear.” And all Israel went down to the land of the Philistines to sharpen each man his plowshare and his colter and his axe and his mattock… And it was […]

Stalked

Tweet “Thing is, he’s going to kill me.” “Have you gone to the police?” “Yes, of course I have.” “And what happened?” She shakes her head from side to side, wraps her arms protectively around her chest. “I got a restraining order against Ned, that’s my ex. But you know what good that is, don’t […]

I'm an Emmy Award winning screenwriter. I'm also an observant Jew, a religious Zionist, a conservative Republican, and a member of the NRA. I've been writing and producing in Hollywood for over twenty-five years. But the focus of my life is my family: my radiant wife, Karen—with whom I have been in love with since I was nine years-old—and my two daughters, who, thankfully, look like Karen. Not too long ago, we had three children. But our son, Ariel, died at the age of twenty-two from cancer. We miss him terribly. We think about him practically every minute of every day. People tell us that time heals, but Karen and I know this is not true. Time grinds away doing its terrible work. Ariel is gone. Yet absence becomes presence.
