“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.

Bannon warns of the ‘end of everything’ if Trump supports gun control

by Jews Can Shoot on October 7, 2017

Stephen Bannon, former White House Chief Strategist and current executive chairman of Breitbart News, warned of a major backlash if President Donald Trump supported gun control legislation after the mass shooting in Las Vegas.

When asked what would happen if Trump worked with Democrats to tighten gun restrictions in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, Bannon told Jonathan Swan of Axios that the uproar would be fast and furious.

“Impossible: will be the end of everything,” Bannon texted.

Swan then asked if the reaction to supporting gun control would be worse than Trump supporting immigration amnesty legislation. Bannon replied: “as hard as it is to believe actually worse.”

Sources inside the administration said they thought it highly unlikely Trump would cave on gun control, due to his close ties with the National Rifle Administration and strong belief in the 2nd Amendment. However, some sources hesitated when posed the question, saying there was a small chance political pressure and the severity of the attack in Las Vegas could spur the president to strike a deal with Democrats.
