“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.

Judge: RI high-capacity magazine ban is constitutional

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 20, 2022

This judge seems to believe that those will evil intent, also known as criminals, are going to obey the law.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The chief judge for the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island rejected a challenge to the state’s high-capacity magazine ban, arguing that it is both reasonable and measured.

Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. said Wednesday that a Glocester firearms dealer and four local gun owners who requested a temporary restraining order “failed to persuade the court that it is unconstitutional.”

Gov. Dan McKee signed the high-capacity magazine ban into law back in June. The law, which will take effect Dec. 18, makes it a felony to own high-capacity magazines that contain more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
