“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 INDUSTRY HITS NEW YORK WITH FEDERAL LAWSUIT

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 22, 2021

The goal of the anti-gun rights group: to impose on the firearm industry a ‘death by a thousand cuts,’…

Some of the biggest names in firearms are challenging a controversial New York law that stands to bankrupt the industry with frivolous lawsuits.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, allied with 14 firearm manufacturers, distributors, and retailers – including such household names as Beretta, Glock, Ruger, Sig Sauer, and Smith & Wesson – filed suit in federal court last week against New York Attorney General Letitia James in her official capacity. The 28-page complaint characterizes New York’s new “public nuisance” law as unconstitutional and asks for a preliminary injunction against its enforcement.

The law, signed by now-disgraced New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in July, would make it easier to sue members of the gun industry, ranging from small mom-and-pop local gun stores to publicly traded manufacturers, despite federal protections adopted in 2005 under the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.
