“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.

PETITION AGAINST CANADIAN GUN BAN BIGGEST EVER

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 17, 2020

Yay for my country of birth!

Online e-petition e-2574 demanding that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately scrap the gun ban he “undemocratically imposed without debate during a pandemic while Parliament is suspended,” garnered over 230,000 signatures — the most signatures ever gained by petition since the online platform was introduced in 2015. And it’s still open to more.

The May 1, 2020 gun ban included more than 1,550 kinds of “military-style assault weapons.” Since it came into effect, Canadian gun owners who legally obtained the banned firearms are restricted from operating them. They have until April 2022 to surrender them to the government for a proposed gun buy-back program that will cost between $400 million and $600 million; however, the Frasier Institute says the actual cost of the “mandated confiscation” will be much higher. This comes as Canada, like many countries around the world, struggles with soaring debt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sponsored by Michelle Rempel of the Conservative party in Alberta, the e-petition seeks to do away with the ban and buyback, instead using funds to target crime and illegally obtained firearms. “When we know that that is going to do little to reduce the issue of violent crime in Canada, in terms of firearms that are obtained illegally,” Rempel told the CBC.
