“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

FBI: Alleged Chattanooga Gunman Purchased Some Of His Guns ‘Legally’

The FBI indicates alleged Chattanooga gunman Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez had three firearms with him on July 16–two long guns and one handgun. The FBI also indicates Abdulazeez bought at least “some” of the guns “legally.”

That means he bought “some” of the guns the same way that Dylann Roof (Charleston), Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi (Garland), Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), James Holmes (Aurora theater), and Jared Loughner (Tucson) bought theirs–by passing a background check.

According to NBC News, the FBI’s Ed Reinhold said they know some of the guns were purchased this way, but they have yet to determine how every gun was acquired.

During a June 16 interview on Al Jazeera, Ret. Marine Colonel Gary Anderson had already indicated that he did not know of anything in Abdulazeez’s background–criminally speaking–that should have prevented him from passing a background check for a firearm.

With a record this clean, this means buying a gun privately–without a background–would have been legal too. That is the way law-abiding Americans have been buying and selling guns since 1791.
