“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: 9,063 Allowed to Buy Guns in 2015 Who Shouldn’t Have Been

by Jews Can Shoot on August 21, 2016

COLUMBIA – The number of times the FBI allowed sales of guns with incomplete background checks jumped by thousands last year even as the process received increased scrutiny and calls for reform following the mistaken sale of a gun to a South Carolina man accused of shooting nine people in a black Charleston church.

In 2015, 271,359 background checks of gun buyers were incomplete after the federal government’s three-day limit, according to data provided by the FBI to The Greenville News. Of those, 9,063 were later denied. That means 9,063 people the FBI later determined should not be allowed to own a gun were allowed to buy guns because the agency could not complete a background check in time.

The FBI does not know how many background checks actually result in gun sales so even though more than 9,000 checks came after the three-day waiting period, it cannot say how many of those involved people who walked out of a store with a firearm.

But a good indication of those who get them who shouldn’t are the FBI’s retrieval requests, which it sends to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to pick up guns if it believes a firearm was sold and the buyer should not own one. In 2015, according to the agency, it sent 2,892 such requests, up from 2,511 such requests in 2014.
