“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.

Trump’s Pending Bumpstock Ban

by Jews Can Shoot on October 17, 2018

“In order to eliminate — terminate — bump stocks, we have to go through procedure. We are now at the final stages of that procedure,” President Donald Trump declared in an Oct. 1 Rose Garden press conference marking the anniversary of the Las Vegas shootings. “We are knocking out bump stocks. I’ve told the NRA — bump stocks are gone.

“We’re in the final two or three weeks and I’ll be able to write out bump stocks,” Trump clarified.

It’ll be after the White House Office of Management and Budget gets done with it, actually. Per CNN, the Justice Department turned over its Final Rule on Sept. 27, and the OMB now has 90 days to do its review. Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “Neither the OMB or Justice would confirm … that the measure was under review.”

In any case, action appears imminent, making fair the question “What the hell?”

Trump was supposed to be a “pro-gun” president.
