“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.

California: “Shall Issue” Legislation Defeated in Committee

by Jews Can Shoot on April 10, 2017

Today, April 4, the Assembly Public Safety Committee failed to pass Assembly Bill 757, also known as the “shall-issue” bill, by a party-line vote. The NRA would like to thank Assembly Member Melissa Melendez (R-67) for sponsoring this important legislation that would have addressed the inequitable nature of California’s current concealed carry law by ensuring a fair and consistent application throughout the Golden State. Your NRA-ILA is committed to continue to work on improving California concealed carry laws in the legislature, the courts and through congress.

The Assembly Water, Parks, and Wildlife Committee unanimously passed, Assembly Bill 521 sponsored by Jim Frazier (D-11). AB 521 would reduce California’s high-priced resident elk permit from $450 to $67, the average cost of resident elk tags issued in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. This bill now will move on to the appropriations committee.

The Legislature will start Spring Recess this Thursday, April 6 upon adjournment of the day’s session and will return Monday, April 17.
