“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.

Constitutional Carry Bill Introduced in South Dakota

by Jews Can Shoot on January 13, 2019

State Rep. Drew Dennert has filed Constitutional Carry legislation (House Bill 1041) in South Dakota.

South Dakota Gun Owners (SDGO) reports:

Constitutional Carry legislation recognizes law-abiding citizens’ right to carry concealed firearms for self-defense, without obtaining a permit, but retains the concealed carry permitting system for out-of-state reciprocity.

Dennert’s bill has garnered the support of more than a dozen other legislators, along with that of SDGO and the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR).

Constitutional Carry passed both the Senate and House in 2017, and SDGO reports the policy “has been anticipated by gun owners throughout South Dakota since the election of Governor Noem, who pledged last year to sign the legislation into law if passed by both chambers again.”

“We have the promise of our Governor, strong support from both chambers, and widespread public support for Constitutional Carry,” Dennert said. “I expect it to pass this year with little opposition.”
