“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.

ATF ‘Pistol Brace’ Ruling Could Have Sweeping Impacts For Wyoming Gun Owners

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 22, 2023

“The firearms act was enacted largely in response to the havoc wreaked by Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger and other outlaws and gangsters. The gangsters favored full-auto weapons for their firepower. They also were fond of short-barreled shotguns and rifles because they could be easily concealed, but still packed far more wallop that handguns.”

A federal ruling on firearms that would reclassify some popular AR-15 variants as “short-barreled rifles” could have sweeping implications for Wyoming gun owners, say a gun dealer and a gun rights advocate.

“It’s just one of those ridiculous things,” Lorrell Woolley, co-owner of Wyoming Minute Man Supply in Thayne, told Cowboy State Daily.

AR-15 pistols are popular with his customers, who frequently outfit them with pistol braces, or devices that allow them to be fired from the shoulder, Woolley said.

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives on Friday announced a ruling to classify those ARs – as well as numerous other firearms outfitted with pistol braces – as “short-barreled rifles.”

Under the National Firearms Act of 1934, such firearms are subject tax stamps as well as other restrictions.
