“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.

LAPD’s Charlie Beck Pleased as Buyback Nets About 770 Guns to Be Melted Down

by Jews Can Shoot on May 21, 2017

The Los Angeles Police Department’s annual gun buyback netted about 770 guns to be melted down this year, and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck reacted by suggesting the city will be safer because the guns are gone.

The surrendered firearms consisted of handguns, rifles, and some “assault weapons.” A WWII anti-tank rocket launcher was also handed over. The LAPD gave Target gift cards valued at $100 to $200 for each gun.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Mayor Eric Garcetti said, “Each of those guns represents one less opportunity to take a life or to lose a life.”

Chief Beck echoed Garcetti, suggesting buybacks are a “factor” in decreasing gun violence. He said, “Guns are what turn a minor dispute between young people on the street from a shouting match to a funeral.” The gun Beck wore on his hip as he spoke demonstrated that guns also serve a good purpose in society.

The 772 guns surrendered consisted of “370 handguns, 220 rifles, 142 shotguns and 40 assault weapons,” in addition to the WWII-era anti-tank weapon.
