“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.

Murders Surge 51 Percent in Mayor Lori Lighfoot’s Chicago

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 8, 2020

This is the result of “gun control laws” that disarm law-abiding citizens while criminals are armed. Because criminals are, well… criminals.

The time-frame January 1, 2020, through October 31, 2020, saw murders surge 51 percent in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago compared to the same calendar period in 2019.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports, “There have been 655 murders this year through Oct. 31, while the city had 431 during the same period in 2019 — a 51% increase.”

And if we look at the number of shooting victims in general, not limiting it to those who were murdered, we see a 56 percent in increase January 1, 2020, through October 31, 2020, as compared to 2019. “At least 3,465 people were shot in Chicago through Oct. 31 this year” compared to “2,221 shooting victims during the same period” in 2019.

Most recently, 29 people were shot, four fatally, over Halloween weekend in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago. Breitbart News reported that 27 were shot, two fatally, Friday into Sunday morning alone.
