“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.

Self-Defense Claim a Transparent Second Attempt to Attack Victims

by Jews Can Shoot on November 5, 2017

“A trial begins Monday for a man who claims he was acting in self-defense when he fatally shot the owner of a Shawnee gun store,” The Kansas City Star reported Monday. “De’Anthony Wiley is charged with felony first-degree murder in the January 2015 killing of Jon Bieker.”

While it’s understood that a lawyer’s job is to present the best defense, this is possibly the lowest legal tactic I’ve ever seen, and you can’t convince me that Lindsey Erickson, one of the attorneys representing Wiley, believes her own argument.

The circumstances directly leading to Bieker’s slaying aren’t even disputable, as a guilty verdict for one accomplice and a guilty plea from another leave no reasonable doubt.
