“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.

Clam Up? Your Silence Can Be Used Against You

by Jews Can Shoot on November 28, 2017

RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS who choose to arm themselves know they must develop the mindset, weapons skills and tactics to effectively deal with a potential threat. They know they must maintain and enhance those attributes over time. Many are coming to understand that a critical phase of a deadly force (or threat of deadly force) event is what happens afterwards. Some have a rudimentary plan. But just as a rudimentary understanding and plan might not be enough to deal with a threat, it might not be enough to deal with the aftermath. Mismanaging the aftermath can place you in serious jeopardy — or even prison.

Most people believe that something they don’t say cannot be used against them. What if I told you that, in some cases, your silence can be used against you?

“What?!” you say. “What about my Fifth Amendment rights? The U.S. Supreme Court would never stand for this!”

Well, they did: Salinas v. Texas. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the defendant’s silence under police questioning could be used against him in court.
