“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.

Boulder’s gun ban ordinance struck down; state preemption, constitutional rights prevail

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 29, 2021

Constitutional rights prevail. What a magnificent concept.
A reminder that this is still America. At least this time.

OULDER–A Boulder District Court judge has struck down the City of Boulder’s anti-gun ordinance that made the possession, sale or transfer of semi-automatic, magazine-fed sporting rifles, pistols and ammunition magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds illegal.

In a March 12 ruling Judge Andrew Hartman held that Boulder’s “Assault Weapons Possession, Sale, and Transfer Ban” ordinance is illegal under Colorado’s statutory ban on local laws, ordinances or regulations that “prohibits the sale, purchase, or possession of a firearm that a person may lawfully sell, purchase, or possess under state or federal law.”

Boulder residents Robert Chambers and James Jones sued the city on June 14, 2018, just days after the Boulder City Council enacted the gun ban.
