“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.

Gun bill falls short of repeal

by Jews Can Shoot on January 29, 2018

A bill to ease restrictions on those looking to carry a handgun is a step in the right direction but falls short of a Seymour lawmaker’s hopes to repeal all licensing requirements.

House Bill 1424 cleared the Indiana House’s public policy committee by a 12-1 vote Wednesday morning and is now headed to a second reading on the House floor.

“I’m still frustrated, but that’s part of the process up here,” said District 69 Rep. Jim Lucas, a Republican and member of the committee.

The bill keeps the current handgun licensing process while eliminating the fee for a lifetime permit, which can cost as much as $125, The Associated Press reported.

It also lengthens the present four-year license to five years while keeping in place the fee for that license. That fee can cost upwards of $40. The bill also exempts permit holders from having to undergo new criminal background checks when purchasing firearms.

If signed into law by the governor, the bill would take effect July 1, 2019.
