“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.

New Texas Law Aims At Anti-Gun Banks

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 11, 2021

Taking a page from the anti-gun rights playbook. About time!

While the new Constitutional Carry law in Texas has received a lot of attention from the national media this week (almost all of it negative, of course), another piece of legislation signed by Gov. Greg Abbott has quietly taken effect, and its implementation could have a big impact on the bottom line of some of the largest financial institutions in the country.

For several years now, we’ve seen big banks impose restrictions on their relationships with companies in the firearms industry; refusing to do business with firms that manufacture modern sporting rifles or “large capacity” magazines, for instance. Well, now these same banks are getting a taste of their own medicine, because unless they end their corporate gun control policies they won’t be allowed to underwrite municipal or state bonds.

Some of the country’s largest banks, including Bank of America, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase underwrite municipal and state debt in Texas, but also have tailored restrictions that appear to bar financing to certain parts of the gun industry, such as companies that make or sell bump stocks or sell to customers under 21.
