“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.

National Reciprocity Hinges on Mitch McConnell After Conservatives Overcome Paul Ryan’s Months of Stonewalling

by Jews Can Shoot on December 10, 2017

Ryan and McConnell make up the real swamp. They both need to go.

National reciprocity for concealed carry hinges on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) the day after conservatives overcame Speaker Paul Ryan’s months of stonewalling.

Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) introduced national reciprocity on January 3 and Ryan ignored it for approximately 47 weeks. Breitbart News began reporting a tally as the bill languished, beginning with week 42.

But national reciprocity passed on December 6 by a vote of 231 to 198, now the onus is now on McConnell. He is a Senator for one of the most pro-gun states in the Union, Kentucky, and the Majority Leader for a nation wherein “73 percent” of Americans support national reciprocity.

So what will McConnell do?

In mid-August Breitbart News reported that McConnell was mum on national reciprocity. At that point, he was sharing in Speaker Ryan’s silence on the subject, saying nothing positive or negative about the American people’s opportunity to actually protect their right to self-defense by rolling back Second Amendment infringements on the right to bear arms. The time for silence has passed.
