“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.

5 things to know about gun-free zones

by Jews Can Shoot on October 26, 2017

The debate over the efficacy of gun-free zones has only grown more heated in the wake of several recent mass casualty incidents. Here are five things to know about the controversial laws.

1. WHAT IS A GUN-FREE ZONE?

Gun-free zones are areas that prohibit the possession of firearms, with some exemptions that depend on state or federal laws.

At the federal level, schools are affected by this prohibition via two laws. The Gun-Free School Zones Act prohibits firearms at public and private schools or within 1,000 feet from school grounds. In addition, the Gun-Free Schools Act requires states to enforce a zero-tolerance gun policy toward students in their schools and at school events in order to qualify for federal funding.

Military bases have barred personnel and civilians from carrying on site since 1992, although the Department of Defense recently made moves to loosen this policy.

State laws vary, but some locations where firearms are commonly prohibited include bars, airports and hospitals.
