“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.

Synagogue President: Telling People We’re a Gun-Free Zone Is ‘Asinine’

by Jews Can Shoot on November 10, 2019

The president of a Colorado synagogue targeted in a foiled bomb plot said his congregation allows armed worshippers because they don’t want to be defenseless in the case of an attack.

Michael Atlas-Acuna, president of the Temple Emanuel Synagogue of Pueblo, Colo., was asked about the temple’s “This Is Not A Gun Free Zone” sign during an interview on CNN. Host Brooke Baldwin asked Atlas-Acuna why he felt the sign was necessary even before the plot to blow up the synagogue was uncovered.

“I think it’s necessary because of the very obvious: Churches and synagogues have been shot up,” he said. “And I think for somebody to put a sign that said ‘this is a gun-free zone’ is asinine. You’re only asking for trouble.”

“We refuse to be a soft target. So we’re gonna defend ourselves and we’re gonna have the security that we need,” he added.

Atlas-Acuna said the synagogue takes threats to its members very seriously. He noticed a number of members arming themselves in the wake of the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pa., last year.
