“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.

Armed Israeli Tour Guide Stops Isis Truck Attack

by Jews Can Shoot on January 9, 2017

One of the more bizarre liberal convictions is that if terror victims have guns, it makes for a more dangerous situation than just the terrorist being able to kill everyone in sight. Here’s another reminder of what a difference a good guy with a gun can make.

When a Muslim terrorist, reportedly affiliated with ISIS, carried out a Car Jihad attack with his truck in Israel, it only went so far until the shooting began.

Tour Guide Ethan Rond was guiding a group of IDF cadets from IDF Base 1 officer’s training program when a terrorist rammed into the soldiers with a truck.

Rond said that he saw the truck drive in reverse and then forward after it initially rammed the soldiers in order to maximize casualties.

He told Army Radio: “I saw a truck heading for us at very high speed. It knocked me down and I rolled over several times on the grass. [At first] I thought it was an accident.”

“I started to realize what was happening when the truck went into reverse [in order to drive forward again and hit more people]. I realized it was not an accident. I checked that I still had my gun on me and began to shoot [at the driver].”

Being able to defend yourself makes a great deal of difference. It saves lives and stops terrorists.
