“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.

Second Amendment

The Second Amendment remains under threat by Sacramento

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 29, 2021

‘California is one of only a handful of states that does not have “the right to keep and bear arms” in its state constitution.’

A day before California Attorney General Xavier Becerra was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, his office disposed of an embarrassing matter.

Becerra’s Department of Justice filed a signed settlement agreement in federal court in Sacramento that requires the immediate suspension of all investigations and prosecutions, statewide, of people suspected or accused of failing to register their “assault weapons,” because the department’s online registration system was another state government technology train wreck.

California has regulated the purchase and possession of firearms defined as “assault weapons” since the 1989 Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act. The definition has been expanded through the years, and it encompasses commonly owned firearms. In 2016, state lawmakers widened the definition to include semi-automatic firearms with a magazine locking device. This device is commonly referred to as a “bullet button.” It slows down the normal magazine release function by requiring the user to engage the release mechanism using a tool or an object such as the tip of a bullet.
