“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.

Fresno Mayor Opposes Concealed Carry, Carries Gun

by Jews Can Shoot on August 6, 2017

Fresno Mayor Lee Brand, a Republican, opposes a bill allowing city workers with concealed permits to carry on the job, yet Brand has a concealed permit and has carried a gun on the job due to his “higher visibility.”

The bill to allow concealed carry by city workers is sponsored by Frenso Councilman Garry Bredefeld (I-Dist. 6).

According to the Fresno Bee, Bredefeld believes city workers who possess concealed carry permits ought to be able to carry while on the job. He said, “We have code enforcement officers and other employees working out in the community, and some of them have been threatened. They should have the opportunity to protect themselves and potentially protect others.”

He also cited the April 18, 2017, attack in which Kori Ali Muhammad allegedly used a revolver to shoot and kill three people on the streets of Fresno. Bredefeld suggested the Fresno attack was one of many “instances where people with a CCW (concealed-carry weapon) license have been able to prevent such loss of life.”
