“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.

What the CA mag ruling really means

by Jews Can Shoot on July 5, 2017

There was a lot of celebrating going on last night for those in California who follow gun rights litigation and the prospect of complying or not complying with upcoming laws.

The NRA and CRPA won a preliminary injunction against the state, temporarily barring CA from enforcing laws against gun owners that would have required them to surrender their +10rd magazines by Saturday, July 1st or risk being charged with a crime for possessing them.

But with wins like this, it leaves a lot of questions for people who may not follow all the ins, outs, and legalese of what it really means for them.

First, let’s get the obvious out of the way. Nobody was turning in their magazines. Nobody. If anyone took theirs out of state, they were bringing their family, their income, and the rest of their belongings with them. For the rest of us who stayed, the state doesn’t know who has them or how many are out here in the wild, so they can’t come take what they can’t find. But it’s important for us to know what they can eventually have the power to do to us for non compliance, and what we can prepare for.

The most common question is, “does this mean I get to buy 30rd mags now??” Legally? No.
