“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.

Roberts: Tighten Arizona’s gun laws? That’s un-American!

by Jews Can Shoot on January 21, 2018

Laurie Roberts: Two Democratic legislators have proposed a few reasonable changes to Arizona’s gun laws. Don’t expect them to even get a hearing.

Daniel Hernandez and Randy Friese are at it again, pushing their “un-American” idea – this notion that we might be able to save a few lives by tightening a few gun laws.

The two men, now Tucson legislators, tried to minimize the carnage seven years ago, when a sick gunman opened fire in a Safeway parking lot, killing six and injuring 13 others including then U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Now they’re trying again, as they do every year – proposing reforms to Arizona’s gun laws.

Only don’t look for the Legislature to spend even 10 minutes listening to their proposals. The two legislators will be marginalized and minimized for two reasons:

They’re Democrats and this Legislature rarely, if ever, considers the merits of anything coming from the minority party.
What they’re proposing is sacrilege in gun circles, which makes it sacrilege in Republican circles.
