“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Sheriff Scott Israel: The unintentional champion of the Second Amendment

by Jews Can Shoot on March 4, 2018

I called for a real discussion about guns over a week ago in the pages of USA Today, knowing full well that the issue is prone in the extreme to intellectual fakery. And here we are now, being lectured on every television channel by a teenager named David Hogg who, having survived the onslaught of the Florida shooter, is now simply regurgitating all the same old partisan talking points we’ve heard before.

The leftist press is trying to pull the wool over our weary eyes with this cherubic agitprop. Maybe, just maybe, such a change of messenger from the typically loathsome and uninformed media hack could have worked, were it not for the Broward County Sheriff’s Department. Instead, no mass shooting in America has had such a clarifying voice in the equation, regardless of how dysfunctional and frustrating Sheriff Scott Israel’s voice may be.

But therein lies his unintentional power of persuasion. Because on the Second Amendment, Israel is like the Ten Commandments when it comes to getting real about what to do about guns.

There are enemies, both foreign and domestic, that the Second Amendment was originally designed to safeguard against. Israel and his self-described “amazing leadership” are a poster child for those enemies, domestic. Letting young Mr. Hogg distract us from that will mean our culture collectively fails yet another civics test.

Defensive Gun Use Is More Than Shooting Bad Guys

Don Young suggests Jews died in Holocaust because they were unarmed

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ... If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars." — Silveira v Lockyer, (9th Cir. 2003) (Kozinski, J. dissenting.)
