“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.

Checking In On Texas After A Week Of Constitutional Carry

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 11, 2021

“The new Constitutional Carry law in Texas has been in place for a week now, and not surprisingly the state hasn’t devolved into a dystopian hellscape or an anarchic free-for-all, despite the predictions of doom from the gun control lobby.”

The new Constitutional Carry law in Texas has been in place for a week now, and not surprisingly the state hasn’t devolved into a dystopian hellscape or an anarchic free-for-all, despite the predictions of doom from the gun control lobby. It’s actually been fairly quiet, which means news outlets in the state have had to look pretty hard to come up with some sort of controversy over the implementation of the law. So far, they haven’t found much.

Texans may no longer need a license and its associated background check to pack their pistols in public, but gun owners can still expect to be screened by law enforcement before entering the state Capitol.

The vetting of those carrying guns without a license comes under a policy quietly implemented on Sept. 1 — the day the law took effect. Anyone carrying without a permit is required to check in at the Capitol’s west entrance, “where they will be appropriately screened” by state troopers, the Texas Department of Public Safety told The Dallas Morning News.
