“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.

One day, in the not too distant future, American patriots are going to need their firearms…

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 5, 2016

From Facebook friend, Allen Miller: ‘Our Constitution is unique in all the world. It posits in its Declaration of Independence that Americans are endowed by G-d. By G-d, not by king, parliament, or religion. Only G-d, therefore, may annul those precepts in support of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Most certainly that includes the 2nd Amendment.

‘One day, in the not too distant future, American patriots are going to need their firearms, I believe. It will be sometime before authors discover and report on how close the American model came to self-destruction in 2016. With that in mind, we may not be so foolish as to expect the same good fortune in future. Those who now refuse to accept the lawful result of an election must NEVER be allowed to come to control the levers of political power of the United States.’

Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
