“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.

Lt. Gov. Newsom on Guns and Ammo: Will of Voters Should Trump Legislature

by Jews Can Shoot on August 29, 2016

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom strongly defended his gun and ammunition control ballot measure, Proposition 63, saying it goes “much much further” than the package of gun control bills passed recently by the California legislature and signed by Governor Jerry Brown.

“The legislature hasn’t acted as it could on gun safety and now the people will have a chance to do so,” he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC4’s “News Conference” program.

Newsom’s gun control ballot initiative had been criticized by Senate President Pro Tem Kevin DeLeon (D-Los Angeles) as being “irrelevant.” DeLeon last month said the legislature had “taken care of business” and implied that Proposition 63 was simply part of Newsom’s effort at winning election to governor in 2018.

“I don’t know the motivation for politicians to say things like that, it is unfortunate” Newsom said of DeLeon’s remark.
