“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.

New Gun Control Bill in CA Would Allow People to have Firearms Confiscated from Co-Workers

by Jews Can Shoot on July 2, 2016

The Democrat-controlled legislature in California sent a flurry of gun control bills to Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday. The L.A. Times expects Brown to sign some of them before he jets off to Europe for a vacation.

But controversy over the gun control measures reached beyond Republicans who voted against them as an erosion of the 2nd Amendment. One measure that would allow Californians to petition courts to take guns away from co-workers also drew strong objections from the American Civil Liberties Union.

Another bill sent to the governor would require ammunition buyers to show identification and have their names checked against a list of felons and others prohibited from having firearms.

The “flurry” of bills sitting on the governor’s desk is just part of the plan to expand the gun control laws in California. Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom also has a gun control initiative that will appear on the November ballot. Newsom said he was “pleased” by the legislature, calling the bills a “meaningful step in the right direction.”
