“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.

Man who disarmed Monterey Park shooter speaks out: ‘Something came over me’

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 29, 2023

“Brandon [Tsay] said something came over him. That something is indignation that he was not going to be a victim and let someone take his life. So, he acted not knowing what the outcome would be to his personal safety.” *

The night was winding down after a Lunar Near Year celebration at the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in Alhambra, California, on Saturday, when Brandon Tsay heard the front door click close behind him.

“That’s when I turned around and saw that there was an Asian man holding a gun. My first thought was I was going to die here, this is it,” Tsay, 26, told ABC News’ Robin Roberts during an interview Monday on “Good Morning America.”

Tsay, who helps run the dance hall with his family, said the gunman was “looking around the room” as if he was “looking for targets — people to harm.”

“He started prepping the weapon and something came over me,” Tsay recalled. “I realized I needed to get the weapon away from him. I needed to take this weapon, disarm him or else everybody would have died.”

This observation is by my friend, Scott Kirshner, President of Dedicated Threat Solutions LLC.
