2014 David & Goliath Award (awarded by Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership)
- “Halbrook established beyond any rational doubt that Nazi gun laws were enacted, among other things, to disarm Jews and further or even enable the Holocaust. Discourse in America about the role of disarming civilians and genocide will continue, but not on a factual basis in light of Halbrook's seminal work. JPFO was founded with Aaron Zelman's research at the forefront, establishing that U.S. gun laws were built upon Nazi gun laws. Now the tapestry of disarmament and dictatorial control is more complete, and impervious to specious unraveling.”
