“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.

California Bill Would Have Suicidal People Relinquish Second Amendment Rights

by Jews Can Shoot on January 29, 2018

A new bill introduced Wednesday in California aims to keep guns away from those who are suicidal.

Because there’s no way to prove someone wants to commit suicide, they would have to voluntarily give up their right to bear arms.

As Fox News reports, Democratic Representative Rob Bonta is behind AB1927, which the bill’s author says is designed to prevent people with suicidal thoughts or the intent to hurt themselves from purchasing guns.

But, as Bonta told the San Francisco Chronicle, people contemplating suicide would have to provide their names to the state officials processing background checks before a gun is purchased. With their name on the list, they would then be unable to legally buy a gun. If at some point they decided that they are no longer suicidal, those who have voluntarily relinquished their Second Amendment rights can have their names removed from the list if they can demonstrate that they are free of suicidal thoughts.

Bonta maintains that Californians who kill themselves with a gun commonly do so within days of obtaining one. He cited documents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that say self-inflicted gun shot wounds accounted for more than 1,000 suicides in 2015.
