“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.

Gun ban – why it’s not going to happen

by Jews Can Shoot on April 2, 2018

Tens of thousands march for “sensible gun control”!

Ain’t gonna happen, and here’s why.

But first of all let me tell you where I’m coming from. Like Kris Kristofferson’s Pilgrim, I’m a walking contradiction.

I’m a strong Second Amendment supporter but I don’t own any guns and don’t do shooting sports. (I do have a nice sword collection if you’re thinking about a home invasion though.) I favor decriminalization of drugs but my drug of choice is beer. I think traditional marriage is the best environment to raise children in, but I’m a single father of two.

So all of you on both sides, think of me as an outsider and listen.

You anti-gunners, you’ve destroyed your own case. You have, pardon the expression, shot yourself in the foot.

You pro-gunners, though I think you’ve got the better argument sometimes you’re not helping yourselves either.

“We don’t want to take your guns we just want sensible laws!”

Nobody believes you. I’m not even sure you believe you.

No doubt marchers’ opinions ran from restrictions to outright bans, but the central drive of the anti-gun movement is to outlaw civilian ownership period. No politician will say it in public, but plenty of people who aren’t running for office have told me straight up that’s what they want.
