And they’re signing up.
Via Fox News:
A gun dealer in Colorado Springs, Colo., has offered a free AR-15 rifle to local temples for protection following the mass killing of 11 Jews at a Pittsburgh synagogue by an anti-Semitic gunman.
Mel Bernstein, owner of Dragon Arms, told Fox News on Sunday that four local rabbis in Colorado Springs took him up on his offer and a fifth accepted the offer of a handgun.
“I feel very bad that someone can walk in to a synagogue or church and start shooting and they can’t protect themselves,” Bernstein said.
He said each rabbi filled out a background check. Fox News contacted various synagogues in the area for comment, but has not yet heard back.
KOAA-TV first reported on Bernstein’s offer last week.
