“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.

Facebook Takes Aim at the Firearms Industry Ahead of Inauguration Day

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 24, 2021

“Out of an abundance of caution…” No, just another opportunity to censor anything having to do with the Constitution. First and foremost, the Second Amendment.

Facebook has placed a temporary ban on advertisements of “weapon accessories and protective equipment” until Friday. The social media company made the announcement on Friday ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday.

“We are banning ads that promote weapon accessories and protective equipment in the US at least through January 22, out of an abundance of caution,” the company wrote in a blog post. “We already prohibit ads for weapons, ammunition and weapon enhancements like silencers. But we will now also prohibit ads for accessories such as gun safes, vests and gun holsters in the US.”

The news follows the Capitol riot that occurred on Jan. 6. Five people died as a result from the violence.
