“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.

Congress To Hold Military Accountable For Missing Guns

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 30, 2021

“Remember, folks, to err is human. To really foul things up, you need Congress involved.”

The United States military has all the weapons that you and I are forbidden from having. I’m not just talking about the fully-automatic or select-fire guns so many of us would love to have in our gun safes, either. I mean, they have missiles and grenades and stuff like that, stuff that you and I just can’t lawfully get.

Unfortunately, the military also has lost track of a number of their weapons over the years.

While I maintain that the numbers aren’t as bad as they’ve been presented as, the truth is that even one missing weapon is an issue.

Now, it seems Congress is getting involved.
