God and Guns in Synagogue

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 12, 2018

There is a problem in American Judaism. It is a problem of basic theology. Those of us who believe in Torah Judaism recognize that evil exists, and to combat evil requires common sense and weapons. Secular American Jews—Democrats almost exclusively—believe in utopian solutions to, well, everything. Which means they advocate for gun free zones, an […]

Jews and Guns

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 27, 2018

I am republishing this entry, with some edits, because after the Parkland atrocity—a massive failure of local and federal government and law enforcement at every level—the antigun hysteria of the left, with their photogenic high school commissars in the vanguard, presents a danger to the Second Amendment. Make no mistake about it; the left plans to […]

How to Respond to the Sutherland Springs Massacre

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 6, 2017

So far, the dead in the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs massacre number 26, with 20 wounded. This atrocity will, no doubt, devolve into a debate about gun control. Democrats will label the NRA evil, and the Republicans who support the Second Amendment as a bunch of knuckle draggers. Never mind that it seems […]

Prager U: Is Gun Ownership a Right?

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 28, 2017

Another splendid short from Prager University. What does the Second Amendment say? Is gun ownership a right for all Americans? Or just for a small militia? Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law at UCLA, explains what the Founding Fathers intended.

Jews and Guns

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: September 19, 2016

Before our son Ariel Chaim ZT”L passed away in 2003 at the age of twenty-two, he and I spent a good deal of time discussing the Second Amendment, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Ariel was amazed that so many American Jews–overwhelmingly liberal and secular–aligned themselves with the advocates of gun control, in reality a movement […]

Girl Without a Gun: Pacifist Stalked, Reality Intrudes

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 3, 2016

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 woman who was being stalked […]

How To Kill An IslamoNazi

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 28, 2016

The Obama administration has blamed the Orlando massacre on guns. Of course, the slaughter was engineered and committed by an IslamoNazi who repeatedly proclaimed his allegiance to ISIS. In 2009, during a trip to Israel, I ran into an old friend from Brooklyn who, armed with a Glock, saved scores of innocent Jews by bravely […]

Democrats Believe Orlando Massacre is America’s Fault

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 21, 2016

The anti-gun fervor that grips Obama and the Democrat party serves dual political strategies. The first is to make believe that IslamoNazi ideology does not exist. The Obama regime fantasizes that radical Islam is, um, workplace violence, or violent extremism — anything other than what it obviously is, and what the terrorists tells us […]

Jew Without a Gun

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 15, 2016

Because of the Orlando massacre, 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. […]

Passover 2016: The Slave Learns to Love His Shackles

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 20, 2016

Friday night begins the holiday of Passover in which Jews celebrate deliverance from Egyptian bondage. In order to escape the shackles of slavery, the vast machinery of the mighty Egyptian state had to be crushed. Those who wielded absolute power were reduced to nothingness. G-d did this not only to diminish the physical power of […]

Jew With Gun

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: December 22, 2015

There is no such thing as gun violence. The left uses the absurd phrase “gun violence” in order to rid our culture of human agency — in other words, of morality. The left denies the notion of good and evil just as it denies IslamoNazi terror, a malignant ideology that is spreading like cancer across […]

A Hollywood Tale About a Gun-Free Zone

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 4, 2015

A few years ago I was talking with a Hollywood friend about guns. She was unhappy that I’m a gun owner. Honest—unlike most lefties—my friend told me that the Second Amendment was “out of date and should no longer be valid.” She wanted guns to be confiscated. “Do you think the gangs in LA or […]

Purim: The Non-Progressive Jewish Holiday

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 5, 2015

Today is the holiday of Purim. And it is no accident that Benjamin Netanyahu referenced this Jewish holiday when delivering his powerful and historic address to the U.S. Senate the other day. It’s an old ( 5th century B.C.E.) but agnonizingly familiar story: A Jew-hater named Haman hatches a plan to annihilate the Jewish people […]

Number One With a Bullet

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 25, 2015

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pELwCqz2JfE[/youtube] The USA has the highest per-capita rate of gun ownership in the world by far. Progressives will tell you that this is what makes America the Murder Capital of Planet Earth. But we’re not, and in this devastatingly effective Firewall, Bill Whittle shows why the center of Gun Nut Nation is in fact one […]

Because of the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, 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.

Young Israel Urges Jews Not To Walk Home Alone

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 20, 2014

In the wake of the Jew-hating shooting in Kansas, the National Council of Young Israel, an Orthodox network, is urging Jews, on the last days of Passover, not to walk home alone from synagogue. With all due respect to Young Israel, that advice is just silly and only reinforces victimhood. Do you honestly think that […]

California Democrat And Anti-Gun Fanatic Charged With, Um, Gun Running

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 27, 2014

Seraphic Secret is shocked, just shocked, that a prominent anti-gun Democrat has been indicted for running guns to gangsters and Islamic terrorists. Actually, we’re not shocked at all. The Democrats are cynical opportunists. They believe they are so righteous, so morally elevated, that anything done for their radical agenda is justified. To normal and decent […]

Purim: The Non-Progressive Jewish Holiday

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 13, 2014

Today is the Fast of Purim which commemorates Esther’s three days of fasting in preparation for her meeting with King Ahasuerus. It’s an old ( 5th century B.C.E.) but agnonizingly familiar story: An intolerant Jew-hater named Haman hatches a plan to annihilate the Jewish people in the ancient kingdom of Persia.

About Me
Robert J. Avrech
Los Angeles, California
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.
