“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.

Missouri High School Principal Suspended Over Pro-Gun Tweet

by Jews Can Shoot on June 14, 2019

“Now, bear in mind that teachers can express support for Planned Parenthood, feminism, illegal immigration, communism, socialism, or any number of other things without censure. If they were punished, they’d scream to high heavens on First Amendment grounds and the media would trip all over themselves to make sure everyone knew about it.” H/t Ethan Perks

I’ve talked about the stigmatization of gun ownership in this country a lot. It’s the idea that the anti-gunners work to make it not just illegal to own guns, but socially unpalatable. They want to make it so gun rights supporters can’t admit to owning guns outside of groups of fellow gun owners because it reminds non-owners that people with firearms are their neighbors, co-workers, pastors, doctors, lawyers, bankers, and so on. We’re everywhere, but if people know that and recognize that people they know and trust are gun people, they might not be so willing to support gun control.

It’s imperative for anti-gunners that they make it so socially unacceptable that we have to hide it.

Part of that effort is to punish people who acknowledge their support for the Second Amendment, and a case could be made that it has to start at the schools. That means punishing pro-gun teachers and principals for standing by their beliefs and opposing anti-gun voices like what happened to a Missouri high school principal recently.
