“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.

Memo to gun control activists: #NeverAgain means one thing only

by Jews Can Shoot on April 2, 2018

‘”Never Again” means one thing and one thing only. And don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.’ I don’t believe in “oppression Olympics.” Human beings the world over who are persecuted, subjugated, ethnically cleansed, left behind, or targeted for violence in any way — be they innocent children gunned down at an American school or a

No one would accept, in any other national discussion, the level of ignorance seen in the gun debate

by Jews Can Shoot on April 1, 2018

There are two certainties following nearly every mass shooting event: Cable news television will have its programming schedule set for the next 72 hours, and a significant number of gun control advocates will reveal they lack even a basic understanding of the items they wish to regulate. The first certainty is to be expected. After

Israel’s right of self-defense | Abu Yehuda

by Jews Can Shoot on April 1, 2018

“The right of individual self-defense derives from the most basic of human rights, the right to life. And as the UN Charter and ICJ opinion quoted above indicate, international law recognizes also a national right to life.” When I was in elementary school, I was disciplined for hitting another pupil after he hit me. That

Think They’ll Never ‘Come and Take’ Your Guns Without an Armed Revolt? Think Again

FTA: Consider: If rational minds on the Left know all this, to what end are they still pushing for such laws, especially when it’s obvious that they don’t care whether ANY gun control laws are actually enforced. Not yet anyway. (Remember, it’s always conservatives, not liberals, pushing for enforcement of existing law.) And yet, they

by Jews Can Shoot on April 1, 2018

“We sometimes seek protection from our fears in ways that put us in greater peril. In responding to the Parkland shooting, we may be doing just that to our kids.” Of course we know that the efforts to “control guns” has nothing to do with keeping people safe. Note: Yes, I know this article is

Progressives Might Not Want to Look to the Old West for Gun Control Ideas

by Jews Can Shoot on April 1, 2018

“Armed citizens swarmed the crooks to protect their community and local business. They wore no uniforms and had no official mandate to step into the line of fire. But they acted bravely and unhesitantly in a time of crisis against highly organized criminals—a sharp contrast to what took place during the Parkland, Florida, school shooting,
