“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.

Hawaii Gun Group Sues FBI to Obtain State ‘Rap Back’ Data

by Jews Can Shoot on May 7, 2019

“Rap Back is part of the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system capabilities. That it is considered appropriate to use it to monitor gun owners adds a whole new dimension of concerns and potentials for abuse and denial of rights.”

The Hawaii Firearms Coalition filed a lawsuit against the Federal Bureau of Investigation Wednesday in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a group news release announced. The gun owner rights advocates made the complaint because they have been trying to obtain information about the state’s use of the FBI’s “Rap Back” system for monitoring criminal activity of registered firearm owners, and the Bureau has been non-responsive to their Freedom of Information Act request.

“The law authorizes people who register firearms in Hawaii to be entered in the FBI’s Rap Back service database,” the release explains. “Per the FBI, ‘The Rap Back service allows authorized agencies to receive notification of activity on individuals … thus eliminating the need for repeated background checks on a person from the same applicant agency.”
