“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.

Opposition To California’s Gun Restriction Grows

by Jews Can Shoot on February 19, 2017

The governors of nine states filed an amicus brief Friday with the U.S. Supreme Court opposing California’s restriction on concealed carry permit holders.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott led the coalition of nine state governors, which included governors from Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, South Carolina and South Dakota, which questions if California is singling out gun owners and burdening their rights, according to a release from Abbott’s office.

At stake, according to the Abbott’s office, is whether citizens travel in California, whether from out of states or residents of the states, can exercise their Second Amendment right to carry a concealed handgun.

“First, citizens in the Amici Governors’ States should not be forced to choose between exercising their constitutional rights to bear arms and exercising their constitutional rights to travel to California,” the amicus brief states.
