My only contact with Aaron was a lengthy telephone conversation about fifteen years ago, but I found him to be a highly impressive individual. JPFO’s materials are some of the most compelling available when making the case against firearms prohibition laws. In particular, JPFO has gathered substantial evidence that firearms prohibition/confiscation is a frequent prelude to genocide, and has provided substantive documentation that America’s Gun Control Act of 1968 was deliberately modeled on Nazi legislation and on anti-firearms legislation enacted in the Weimar Republic before the Nazi ascension.
