“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Commentary/Second Amendment

The Right to Keep & Bear Arms

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 1, 2019

“The Second Amendment does not “grant” the right to keep and bear arms, but rather protects it from usurpation. The right has deep root in English common law and is related to the common-law right of self-defense.”

“No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms…” Thomas Jefferson

“Little more can reasonably be aimed at with respect to the people at large than to have them properly armed…” Alexander Hamilton

“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms” Richard Henry Lee

The Second Amendment does not “grant” the right to keep and bear arms, but rather protects it from usurpation. The right has deep root in English common law and is related to the common-law right of self-defense.
The battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 represented a firm stand taken by the colonists against confiscation of their arms by British soldiers. Forty-nine colonists died in those battles, so this obviously was not a trivial matter to them.

When the Constitution was written a mere decade later, the infringement by a strong government upon their right to bear arms was fresh in the minds of our Founders, so they explicitly prohibited their new federal government from repeating this travesty. Or so they thought.
