Aaron S. Zelman
Aaron S. Zelman (March 4, 1946 - December 21, 2010) was an American gun rights advocate, author, and founder of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
Zelman was best known as the founder and executive director of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JFPO), which he founded in 1989 in Wisconsin. He was an author and co-author of books and articles about gun rights, on which he took an absolutist stance on the meaning of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In addition, he produced and co-produced films on the subject. News of Zelman's death was recognized by a newspaper serving Wisconsin's Jewish community, as well as libertarian and radical right groups.
Zelman was born in March 1946 in Massachusetts, but reared in Tucson, Arizona, by his grandmother. He served in the U.S. Navy as a medic to Marines, working awhile as a psychiatric unit assistant to returning Vietnam War veterans. After different sales jobs, and work as a gun dealer, he ultimately settled in Wisconsin. At the time of his death in December 2010, Zelman was survived by his wife and two sons. One son, Erik, a University of Wisconsin student, died in July 2012 from complications of Marfan syndrome.
