“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.

‘NOW’S THE TIME’: Stock up on guns and ammo, firearm group tells Oregon residents as legal battle rages on

Good advice for every one of us.

MILWAUKIE, Ore. – A line forms outside the doors of Northwest Armory each morning before the gun store opens. Cars spill from the parking lot onto the planting strip and narrow side street, with drivers ignoring the “no parking” signs.

“It’s just been total chaos in here,” manager Jenna Williams told Fox News on Wednesday, the day before Oregon’s strict gun law was originally set to take effect. “They’re just wanting to get stuff before it’s taken away.”

Measure 114 passed with 50.65% of the vote last month and was supposed to take effect Thursday. It bans magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds, requires a permit to purchase any firearm and closes the so-called “Charleston loophole,” a federal rule allowing gun transfers to proceed if background checks can’t be completed quickly.

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
