“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Long guns for home defense — not such a hot idea

by Jews Can Shoot on January 10, 2016

A lot of people with an internet pulpit recommend long guns as ideal for home defense (HD). Well, that just goes to prove that, as we used to say in the pre-internet days: “Don’t believe everything you read”. Today I suppose it would be “Don’t believe everything you hear from YouTube personalities with the requisite tactical beards or goatees”.

The primary HD firearm should be a handgun. Not that there’s not a place for something like a shotgun or carbine in HD. I really like Massad Ayoob’s notion that the place for a long gun in HD is in a fixed location like a safe room or bedroom, He compares it to the fixed artillery of an army, while the handgun is like the mobile infantry. That is, the long gun stays in a fixed location and is brought into play if the BG insists on moving to you (and, duh, you’re justified in challenging with or firing it).

Why? Well, have you ever tried to move around, at speed and tactically, in your house with a long gun? Sure, there are some very goofball and unsatisfactory ways you can theoretically do so, but they are just that. Have you ever tried, with a long gun, to open a door, protect a child, or do any of the real-world things that a HD scenario requires other than runnin’, gunnin’ and looking cool? (Talking to the nice dispatch operator is a good idea in these situations.)
