“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.

Iowa Middle Schools Teaching Students Gun Safety Course

by Jews Can Shoot on January 25, 2019

Middle schools in Butler County, Iowa, will implement two-week gun safety courses for students this spring.

The school district adopted the courses because of the popularity of hunting and the outdoors in and around that county.

Fox News reports that the accidental shooting death of 15-year-old Clarksville High School student Kain Allen Schild also made the issue important for district superintendent Joel Foster. The Courier reports that Schild suffered a fatal gunshot wound while fishing in May 2018.

Foster spoke in favor of the gun safety course following Schild’s death, saying, “Our job and what we do best is education and educating our kids is a lot better than having them learn about these things on the street.” He added, “With the number of weapons in our area and the access to them in the homes, I think it’s important that we do these things.”

The Department of Natural Resources and the Butler County Conservation Board will oversee the gun safety course.
