“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Canada Replaces WWII Era Pistols

by Jews Can Shoot on January 15, 2017

Generally the words “Gun News” and the country of Canada don’t go together in a positive light, but recently the Ottawa Citizen Newspaper based out of Canada’s Capital City ran a story that will make current and former members of that nation’s military service smile. The Browning Hi Power 9mm pistol has served Canada and the nations of the United Kingdom well for more seven decades but all good things must come to and end and it was announced that the days of the BHP are nearing an end with this announcement “Canada Replaces WWII Era Pistols”. I doubt anyone will argue that the 13,981 Browning pistols currently left on the Canadian Defense Departments inventory rolls have certainly earned a much needed retirement.

History:

The Canadian Hi Powers were built by the John Inglis Company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada due to the fact that in 1940 the former Fabrique Nationale factories in Belgium had been overrun by the German’s. The victorious Germans liked the Browning Hi Power and decided that they too would like to use them and from 1940 until Belgium was liberated the Browning Hi Power had the distinction of being the only side arm issued to both the Axis and the Allies in World War II. The Inglis Company Hi Powers served with distinction in all theaters of action in World War II and hold a very special place in the heart of Browning collectors around the world.
