“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.

Government troops opened fire on citizens. The Founding Fathers believed that governments would use the military to oppress the people. The Founding Fathers were right.

One person is said to be dead and multiple others injured after Venezuelan soldiers reportedly opened fire at the border with Brazil while civilians were apparently trying to keep a portion of the border open for humanitarian aid delivery.

The soldiers reportedly fired on the civilians when they started blocking their vehicles, the Washington Post first reported Friday, citing eyewitness and community leaders.
