“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.

Democrats Deny Equal Protection Under the Law

by Jews Can Shoot on April 9, 2017

SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, announced today, Democrats killed her bill, Assembly Bill 757, in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. This legislation would have made California a “shall issue” state by making self-defense a just qualifier to receiving a Concealed Carry Weapon permit (CCW.)

“Today the Democrat majority spat in the face of the Constitution by killing this measure,” said Melendez. “The Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law, yet the current system we have for issuing CCWs in California is anything but equal. Rest assured, this fight for equality isn’t over.”

AB 757 clarifies self-defense as an acceptable justification for “good cause” for the purposes of obtaining a concealed carry permit.

“I want to thank the thousands of people who sent emails and made phone calls urging the passage of Assembly Bill 757,” said Melendez. “Though the Democrat majority killed this effort today, they are unable to kill the movement we have started. We must build off of our grassroots successes and continue the fight to ensure the rights of law abiding citizens’ are upheld.”
