“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.

Gun rights activists fill state Capitol for Second Amendment rally

FTA: Joshua Prince, a lawyer active in Second Amendment litigation, reviewed recent court decisions on mental health treatment disqualification for gun ownership and the use of postcards without envelopes to communicate with those licensed to carry concealed weapons, despite privacy rules.

Prince assured those at the rally that there were legal efforts to block the new Pittsburgh laws. He warned that there are even some Republican lawmakers sponsoring bills to allow guns to be taken under so-called “high-risk protective orders.”

HARRISBURG — Gun rights advocates packed the rotunda of the Pennsylvania Capitol on Monday for an annual Second Amendment rally, pushing their legislative priorities and cheering a call for the Pittsburgh mayor’s impeachment.

Gun owners roared when the event’s organizer, Republican Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, announced that he will ask fellow lawmakers to support his proposal to impeach Pittsburgh’s “rogue mayor” over recently enacted gun regulations.

Democratic Mayor Bill Peduto signed legislation last month restricting assault weapons, banning armor-piercing bullets and allowing temporary seizure of guns from people determined to be a danger to themselves or others.

A House Republican spokesman said, however, that caucus leaders are not interested in impeaching Peduto “or any other freely elected office holders.”
