“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.

Gun Violence Restraining Orders, Unrestrained

by Jews Can Shoot on May 13, 2016

California is awesome. It is huge, and varied in people, environments, and cultures. And it’s a seething cauldron of bizarre ‘progressive’ agendas.

We’ve been following some of them through this year’s legislative session. Two of DRGO’s chief activists, Drs. Timothy Wheeler and Arthur Przebinda, were in Sacramento recently to oppose spending taxpayer dollars to shore up the failing anti-gun activism of Dr. Garen Wintemute and colleagues at the University of California.

Another bill now being considered in the Assembly would amend California’s “Gun Violence Restraining Orders” law. These laws are appearing in other states as well (such as Connecticut), but California always seems to a bellwether.

The existing law, AB-1014—Gun violence restraining orders, was enacted September 30, 2014. It allows a judge to impose an order prohibiting possession of firearms by an individual if finding “reasonable cause to believe that the subject of the petition poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another.”
