“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.

Nancy Pelosi calls on Ryan bring bump stock ban to floor

by Jews Can Shoot on October 7, 2017

Minority leader Nancy Pelosi is calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan to bring legislation to the floor that bans bump stocks, or devices used to increase the discharge rate of a firearm, on top of other comprehensive anti-gun violence proposals.

Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that now is the time for action on gun violence reform, saying that in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting,”the impatience of the American people is right on and we have to do something about it.”

“We take an oath to protect and defend the American people, we’re not protecting them by not having the gun laws that are suitable to avoid gun violence,” she added.

Pelosi called on Ryan to withdraw a silencer bill and an armor-piercing bullet bill and instead pass bipartisan legislation on mandatory background checks as well as a ban bump stocks, “something we’re all learning a lot more” about, Pelosi said.

She also reiterated her calls for the speaker to form a 60-day select committee on gun violence to address the “big issue in our country.”
