“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.

DeWine Wants Lame-Duck Session To Pass Gun Control

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 6, 2020

Politicians use lame-duck sessions to push through unpopular legislation.

The lame-duck session of a legislature is often an opportunity for lawmakers on their way out to push through legislation that will cement their legacy. It’s also a time when lawmakers can pass bills that might not be overly popular with the public. After all, the election results are in and they’ve got a couple of years to overcome any ill will from the bill’s passage.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine wants lawmakers to use the lame-duck session to pass his gun control agenda.

Gov. Mike DeWine is calling on his fellow Republicans in the Ohio General Assembly to pass what he sees as “common sense” gun regulations. But lawmakers, who have so far ignored DeWine’s proposals, have even less time to act as the clock winds down on the current legislative session.
