“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.

De León Booed, Knocks Nguyen After ‘Apology’

by Jews Can Shoot on March 12, 2017

At a rally convened to show support for Janet Nguyen (R-Garden Grove), the California State Senator who wasdragged unceremoniously off the Senate floor two weeks ago for supposedly speaking out of turn, Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) was booed as he used the opportunity to take another swipe at her instead of apologizing.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a large crowd showed up to the State Capitol in a strong show of support for Nguyen by California’s Vietnamese-American community on Monday, following a huge rally in her home district this weekend.

The Times reported that the lcrowd numbered in the hundreds, including supporters who had traveled from Orange County, San Jose and the Bay Area. Everywhere she went, the rising Republican star was surrounded by admirers who wanted to take a picture with her.

“This is our time to shine,” the Times reported Nguyen telling the crowd on Monday, as she was flanked by fellow GOP lawmakers and leaders of Vietnamese American community groups and Vietnam War veterans. “Free speech needs to be protected everywhere in the United States.”
