“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.

‘Gun Safety Symposium’ Promises Kinder, Gentler Citizen Disarmament

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 16, 2021

“It’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.”
No compromise on that.
No “can’t we just get along” on our freedom.

“New voice in the American gun debate to hold conference bringing together gun owners & non-gun owners,” a “media advisory” announced. “97percent will host its inaugural conference – ‘Bridging the Divide: Understanding How Gun Owners and Non-Gun Owners Can Come Together for Real Reform.’”

Who?

“97 percent is a bipartisan group of gun owners and non-gun owners representing the vast majority of Americans who believe in gun safety and responsible gun ownership,” the “advisory” claims. “97percent is taking back the conversation from the extreme voices in the gun debate. Working with everyday Americans, gun owners and non-gun owners alike, 97percent is identifying pragmatic solutions to reduce gun violence in America.”
