“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.

SHOT Show 2019: Gun industry feels different by state

by Jews Can Shoot on January 24, 2019

Brian Galek, owner of Up North Gun Shop, said firearm sales have been so strong since opening last year, he is already expanding his store.

The Wisconsin businessman is in Las Vegas this week to attend his first Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show at the Sands Expo and Convention Center to peruse the latest firearms, visit local ranges and meet other owners.

Though overall U.S. guns sales have been weak since President Donald Trump took office in 2016, easing concerns about tighter gun legislation, the slump hasn’t been felt equally around the country, SHOT Show participants say.

“We are using them regularly in Wisconsin for hunting and sports shooting — we are not collecting them,” Galek said.

Americans loaded up on AR-15 and other military-style weapons under President Barack Obama as his administration discussed restricting sales.
