Mass Shootings: What America Can Learn From Israel

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 20, 2018

The after-shooting ritual is in full bloom. One side screams at the other—and no one hears anything. Before getting to the article about Israel and the value of the armed citizen, I want to point out that asking the government to solve the problem of mass shootings is both impractical and dangerously utopian. The problem […]

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. The police were conspicuously absent and the bad guys—frequently […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 Honest—unlike most lefties—my friend told me that the Second Amendment was “out of date and should no longer be valid.”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 […]

Obama’s Philistine Gun Control

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 3, 2013

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 forces […]

Now For Some Sanity Regarding Evil And Inanimate Objects Called Guns

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 6, 2013

Obamacare and gun control are two sides of the same coin. Both are simply means—as Rules for Radicals teaches—to a radical leftist end. Obamacare is not about health. It’s a tactic to: 1) Redistribute wealth.

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

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 24, 2013

Take a look at what’s happening in Australia as the anti-gun fanatics move towards a complete weapons ban for private citizens. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGaDAThOHhA[/youtube] 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 […]

No Guns For Jews

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 16, 2011

In the liberal world guns are viewed as evil. In truth, guns are a tool which can be used for good or evil. Plastic bags are also tools; they can bundle garbage or, as used by the Khymer Rouge of Cambodia, to murder one million innocent souls through suffocation. Do we hear anyone calling for […]

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.

Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.
