“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.

Rocky Times On Horizon For Gun Owners, Industry

This week’s resignation of Chris Cox, veteran executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action, left a lot of people stunned, others not so much, depending upon to whom one listens.

Cox had been “suspended” about a week earlier over his alleged connection to what has been described by some as an “attempted coup” to oust longtime NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. Cox strongly denied that assertion.

Having led ILA since 2002, Cox was seen by many as the heir apparent of the top management position if or when LaPierre, 69, decides to retire. Now that appears to be no longer the case, adding to the confusion among members and non-members about NRA’s situation.

The embattled NRA has been under fired for several weeks following reports of budget problems and dueling lawsuits filed by the organization against its longtime public relations firm, Ackerman McQueen, and a subsequent legal action by “Ack-Mac” against NRA. A separate legal action had been filed against former NRA President Oliver North, said to have tried to get LaPierre to resign during the annual convention in Indianapolis in April.
