“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.

Would Deadly Force Be Justified If Your Vehicle is Being Attacked?

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 11, 2023

As the riots that started in Minneapolis have spread across the country, some of those committing the violence have left the neighborhoods and taken to stopping traffic and shutting down roadways and then attacking the stopped vehicles with blunt objects heavy enough to smash out windows.

So the question gets raised, “Would a deadly force defense be justified in that kind of situation?

Before I go into that, let me say that your best defense against any kind of attack is to see the threat far enough out to be able to take action to avoid it. But for some reason, drivers tend to drive right up on a traffic jam until they have to stop, and then they become trapped in it. If you see the road ahead blocked by people and especially if there are people in amongst the stopped traffic, slow down, stop if you have to, and look for a way off that road – by any means you safely can. Let go of the mindset that you “have” to get through there.
