“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.

1-Punch Homicide Highlights Why You Need a Gun Against ‘Unarmed’ Assailants

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 11, 2022

So is “Real Man” here bragging about his “toxic masculinity” and offering to duke it out with any and all attackers? Leave it to the side that gets triggered over pronouns to declare themselves the arbiters of what a real man is.

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “A Hillsborough County man is accused of killing another man with one punch at a gas station,” Tampa’s News Channel 8 reported Tuesday. “[T]he suspect… walked up to the other man and punched him one time in the face, causing him to fall backward onto the pavement.”

What a freak accident, some might think.

Not necessarily, as a Google News search for the words “beating homicide” reveals. A sampling of headlines includes such stories as:

“Man arrested for beating twin brother to death at their home, Baton Rouge police say”

“2nd suspect arrested in fatal Short North beating”

“Dalton man charged with murder after fiancé dies days after brutal beating”

“Man charged with murder in beating of 87-year-old that was caught on video”

“Erie man charged with homicide in downtown beating that led to death of 80-year-old man”
