“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.

Sacramento approve $1.5 million to pay criminals not to shoot

by Jews Can Shoot on September 3, 2017

In an effort to reduce gun violence, Sacramento city council on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve $1.5 million to pay criminals over the next three years not to commit crimes.

The money — matched by private foundations — will fund the program Advance Peace, which will pay participants up to $1,000 per month for clean living and accomplishments like completing drug counseling or education programs during a nine-month period, the city said in a statement.

While the expense may seem high, the city’s director of the gang prevention and intervention task force, Khaalid Muttaqi, explained each homicide costs the city an average of $1 million when factoring in costs for the investigation, prosecution and incarceration.

Muttaqi explained the city plans to target those most at risk and likely to commit crimes. “There are about 50 young men committing the majority of shootings in Sacramento,” he said, adding that there’s been a 38 percent uptick in gun-related violence in the past couple years.
