“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.

Why Concealed Carry Reciprocity Might Spell Trouble for Gun Owners

by Jews Can Shoot on December 10, 2017

A bill that would allow gun owners to carry a concealed firearm in every state is in jeopardy this week, the victim of a possible Democratic trick, said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).

Massie claimed in a Facebook post on Saturday that the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, House Resolution 38, was being used as a “Trojan horse” to carry through a regulatory bill that could deprive thousands of Americans of their right to own guns.

The bill could also force states and federal agencies to classify more Americans as “fugitives,” or too mentally unstable, barring them from gun ownership, Massie told LifeZette.

Of concern, Massie says, is House Resolution 4477, which would amend the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993. The apparent aim of House Resolution 4477 is to enforce laws regarding the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

The bill could be rolled into H.R. 38 this week, said Massie, and a vote in the House is expected Wednesday. The reciprocity law would allow people to travel to other states with concealed weapons, so long as they have a permit in their home state.
