“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.

How To Make the Range Officer Hate You

by Jews Can Shoot on March 31, 2018

Some people have no apparent need for social acceptance — they just thrive on being the object of scorn and ridicule. In fact, they actively seek that position in life. It’s easy to find those folks online; social media trolls are more numerous than Hollywood actors at a “Learn how to love yourself with boundless enthusiasm” workshop.

If you’re one of those types and just feel the need to draw the wrath of the Range Officer, get kicked off the range, and attract the stink eye from everyone else present at your next shooting outing, then we have some helpful suggestions for you.

1. Shoot at the Ground

The polished concrete floors at indoor ranges are designed that way so you can skip bullets to the target, right?

If you’re at an indoor range, the Range Officer is going to get super upset if you shoot at the floor, even accidentally. Ricochets indoors are a particularly bad thing, and bullets really tend to tear up even the most durable concrete floors. The very best floor shine and polish job ain’t gonna buff out those divots. The best ways to be thrown out of an indoor range for this offense are to have your finger on the trigger at the wrong times and to shoot too fast.
