The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle has called for the resignation of a National Rifle Association lobbyist who reportedly linked gun control to the Holocaust.
NRA spokesman Brian Judy reportedly compared the promotion of stricter gun control laws to policies in Nazi Germany while referring to a Jewish donor during a meeting in opposition to a Washington ballot measure that would expand background checks for gun purchases.
Judy is a senior state lobbyist for the NRA based in California.
“Now [Seattle entrepreneur Nick Hanauer is] funding, he’s put half a million dollars, toward this policy, the same policy that led to his family getting run out of Germany by the Nazis. You know, it’s staggering to me, it’s just, you can’t make this stuff up. That these people, it’s like any Jewish people I meet who are anti-gun, I think, ‘Are you serious? Do you not remember what happened?’ And why did that happen? Because they registered guns and then they took them,” he said at the meeting.
