“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.

The right time to push right-to-carry bill is right now

With the conservative media focused solely on running against the mainstream media and accusing it of fomenting violence, wouldn’t it make sense to at least notch a policy victory and actually preserve our chances of winning in 2018? Let’s start winning instead of whining.

Thus far, the GOP trifecta of control has accomplished absolutely nothing. Democrats are fully engaged and electrified, sometimes in violent ways, yet our side is focused on reacting to the other side’s energy while acting like we are out of power. Republicans have betrayed conservatives on policy issue after policy issue: Obamacare, Obama’s amnesty, border wall, Iran deal, religious liberty, Saudi deal, moving embassy, budget betrayal, debt ceiling, etc.

This is where gun legislation could come to the rescue.

If there is one issue that unites the GOP base, energizes the non-traditional GOP voters who supported Trump, and places Democrats on defense, it is guns. That is probably the best issue for Republicans and the only issue in which they are legitimately all on the same side. With a number of Democrats from pro-gun states up for reelection in 2018, Republicans can actually go on offense for once.
