“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.

Arizona Gun-Rights, Gun-Control Groups Agree: Governor Ducey Killed Gun Bills

by Jews Can Shoot on May 26, 2017

Charles Heller of the Arizona Citizens Defense League and Gerry Hills of Arizonans for Gun Safety are usually on opposite sides of any debate.

But this year, both Heller and Hills have found something to agree on:

They claim that that more pro-firearms bills could have passed this year, but Governor Doug Ducey seems to have helped keep them down.

“Most of our bills, they got squashed in committee,” Heller said on Friday. “The governor didn’t want to have to veto them.”

Gerry Hills, founder of Arizonans for Gun Safety, agreed with Heller’s assessment of likely interference by the governor on various pro-gun bills.

Naturally, she sees the alleged interference as a good thing.

“I think the governor is very good about making it clear that he doesn’t want certain bills to get to his desk, and they don’t get to his desk,” Hills said. “We considered that we had a pretty good year this year.”

A spokesman for Ducey denied their theory.
