“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.

Not A Round To Be Found: Ammo Sales Are Up 139% Over 2019

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 25, 2020

The shortage of ammunition is impacting our ability to train.

The Gun Rush of 2020 continues, but now it’s ammunition that Americans are trying to get their hands on. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), sales of ammunition were up a staggering 139 percent in the first six months 2020 when compared to the same six months in 2019.

Over the weekend, NSSF president Joe Bartozzi spoke at the 2020 Gun Rights Policy Conference. At the event, he mentioned the statistics on ammo sales, as well as noted that gun sales were 95 percent higher in the same time period.

We’ve reported earlier in the year that the number of new ‘first time’ gun owners in America has topped five million in 2020. Of that number, Bartozzi explained that “of all firearms sold to first-time gun buyers, 40 percent were sold to women and personal protection was by far the main purchase driver.”
