“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.

Anti-gunners pull out all stops as CCW Reciprocity passes Judiciary

by Jews Can Shoot on December 10, 2017

Anti-gun politicians and lobbying groups are pulling out all the stops in their fight to prevent national concealed carry reciprocity from advancing any farther, now that it has been approved on a strict 19-11 party-line vote by the House Judiciary Committee.

With the bill, HR38, headed to the House floor for consideration, Democrats and even one New York Republican – Rep. Peter King – are lining up against expansion of concealed carry rights across state lines. As Newsday is reporting, King has sided with Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas and NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker in opposition. Their argument is that New York’s stringent gun control laws have “changed the culture and the awareness about bringing guns in New York City.”

That may be true for law-abiding citizens ensnared by the restrictive state and city gun laws, but criminals still seem able to obtain guns through illegal means in the Empire State.
