“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.

What Makes You Think Counseling Will Stop Mass Shootings?

by Doris Wise Montrose on April 1, 2023

‘People don’t go to mental health professionals and say, “I want to shoot at people randomly. I have a very specific plan. Please help me stop myself.”’

Why do people insist on thinking that the increased availability of counseling will significantly lower the likelihood of a person considering mass homicide from doing so?

Ask any counselor. People don’t go to mental health professionals and say, “I want to shoot at people randomly. I have a very specific plan. Please help me stop myself.”

These people who shoot up schools almost always have plenty of access to counseling or churches or even family or friends who would certainly drop what they’re doing to help ensure that the killer not embark on his or her killing spree.
