“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.

Guns or weed — will cannabis consumers ever have to make that choice?

by Jews Can Shoot on January 29, 2018

While U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recent statements have raised questions about cannabis’ future in states that have legalized it, there may be another federal issue that pushes prohibition talks further.

As Pennsylvania joined 28 other states that allow medical marijuana, police and health department officials told medical users that there will be an enforced deadline to turn in their firearms. The order follows the Gun Control Act of 1968, which prohibits anyone from possessing guns if they unlawfully use or are addicted to cannabis.

“They’re going to have to make a choice,” John T. Adams, president of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, told the Associated Press. “They can have their guns or their marijuana, but not both.”

The plan was for those purchasing marijuana to be put on an online database available to state policing bodies, but now Pennsylvania’s Department of Health is not taking part in the database and asking the federal government to reconsider the drug’s scheduling.

The patients’ registry would have been seen in a background check, excluding them from purchasing firearms in the state. Instead, law enforcement will need a patient’s actual medical marijuana ID card to verify their participation, with no information found in background checks.
