“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.

Silveira v. Lockyer, 2003

Anne Lieberman shares a memory from May 23, 2014 · The first https://www.facebook.com/JewsCanShoot/ firearms training:

Wow! The “Moishe Get Your Gun” firearms training event, sponsored by Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, has gotten press at JTA, the Daily Forward, Jewish Journal of Greater LA, the Daily Caller, The Blaze, Breitbart.com, Baltimore Jewish Times, the Jewish Exponent (Phila.), Arizona Jewish Post, AND in Israel, the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz!

Judging by the comment sections, people are pleased to see Jews With Guns. Makes sense to me!

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. ...
