“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.

Federal Appeals Court Blocks California’s Ban on High-Capacity Magazines

by Doris Wise Montrose on August 16, 2020

I love this so much! For America. “The three-judge panel ruled that the ban violates the Second Amendment.”

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday threw out a California law banning high-capacity ammunition magazines, ruling that the measure violates citizens’ constitutionally protected right to bear arms.

The ban, passed in the wake of mass shootings, bars citizens from owning “large capacity magazines” that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.

“Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,” Appellate Judge Kenneth Lee wrote for the three-judge panel’s majority, ruling that the magazine ban “strikes at the core of the Second Amendment.”
