Jews With and Without Guns

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 25, 2017

When Karen and I were in Israel we were comforted by the presence everywhere of Jews with guns. Karen’s brother David, an accomplished lawyer, Rabbi and businessman, carries his Glock nearly everywhere. David is a good man. Thus, he is a good man with a gun. The reason he carries a gun—and is licensed to […]

Jew Without a Gun: 25 Years Ago, the LA Riots

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 27, 2017

This coming Saturday marks the 25the anniversary of the Los Angeles Riots. Thus, I am republishing my three-part series about the 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.

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 […]

Jew Without a Gun

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 […]

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

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 28, 2013

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 which […]

Jew With Shotgun

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 23, 2013

I love the smell of guns in the morning. It’s a whiff of freedom in Obamerica. I’m in the Martin B. Retting Gun Shop, located in scenic Culver City. The store is jammed. When I lived in New York, Barneys used to have a one-day super sale. The line to get in was around the […]

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.
