“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.

Oxford Murders-Inspired Gun Storage Bill Can Have Fatal Consequences

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 28, 2021

“For the children…”

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich … announced plans to introduce legislation requiring secure firearm storage in homes with children,” Fox News reported. It’s a direct response to the Oxford school murders, following Rahm Emanuel’s “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste” political template.

“The Michigan congresswoman’s legislation, called the ‘Safe Guns, Safe Kids Act,’ would require gun owners to safely secure firearms in living situations in which children could access the weapons,” the report elaborates. “It would also impose a penalty of up to five years imprisonment if a child accesses a firearm and injures himself or others as a result.”

“The goal of the law is to keep children safe, and the congresswoman does not want Washington to politicize the legislation, she said,” the report continues. “Rather, she is looking for the endorsement of law enforcement and lawmakers on the right.”
