“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.

Second Amendment

Shall Not Be Infringed

by Doris Wise Montrose on April 19, 2020

A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state; the right of the people to keep and bear arms Shall not be infringed

It must be great to live in a world where no crimes are committed. I mean, after all, nobody gets murdered anymore because – hey – murder is illegal.

Nobody ever gets killed by drunk drivers on our roads because – hey – drunk driving is illegal.

Nobody’s home is ever invaded, nor is anyone ever robbed because – hey – breaking and entering and stealing are all illegal. There are many other examples I could use of tragedies, wrongs that plague society, all of which suddenly stop occurring because they have been outlawed by a piece of paper.

Wait, those things still occur? But committing those crimes is illegal, and legislative bodies have said as much, why do they keep happening?

Because criminals do not care about laws and it is a folly of mankind to believe that further restricting the freedom of law-abiding citizens will result in the eradication of wrongdoing.

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ... If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars." — Silveira v Lockyer, (9th Cir. 2003) (Kozinski, J. dissenting.)
