“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

An “Unintended Consequence”

by Jews Can Shoot on October 30, 2017

I see that some of our good ol’ boys and gals are all for throwing the dogs a bone by regulatory action banning so-called “bump stocks”.

Besides being wrong on principle, I’d like them all to consider this: the bump stock is an ingenious innovation called into being by the strict federal regulations on conventional automatic firearms. The bump stock was invented to deliver auto-like rates of fire cheaply, simply, and in circumvention of those regulations. To these friends of ours i say:

I promise and assure you that human ingenuity did not expire with the invention of the bump stock. If y’all manage to regulate those away, you will have summoned forth another invention that gets around your ban even more cheaply, effectively, and deadly.

And you’ll call this an “unintended consequence”.

I have some rights, too. Or I thought so.
