“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.

Letter: The Supreme Court and the 2nd Amendment

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 22, 2021

“To really bring this home, ponder this. Lowell and Nashua, N.H., are minutes away from each other. Lowell has a population of a little over 100,000 people, Nashua has a little less. Lowell has one of the most restrictive firearms licensing in Massachusetts. Nashua has no licensing requirement. Yet Lowell had 270 violent offenses in 2020, 46 of which involved firearms. Nashua had less than half the number of violent offenses at 105, only seven of which were firearms (almost 85% less).”

When I saw the recent article entitled, “A Supreme Threat of Gun Violence in Second Amendment Fight” and further saw that the author, a Ph.D. scientist working for the Brady anti-gun group, had a son who was shot and killed, I sadly knew two things. The author had suffered tragedy, and no claim of data on his part could be considered credible.

Ponder this. The author claims with certainty that “But data shows that allowing people to carry guns in public with few restrictions is unsafe. Gun crimes and deaths increase dramatically. Research found that states that relax concealed carry laws have a 13-15% higher violent crime rates within 10 years.”

Really? What studies? There are no references. And scientists know how to mention a reference. But here, nothing.
