“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.

GOA Warns Executive Action for Universal Background Checks Coming

by Doris Wise Montrose on August 6, 2023

Gun Owners of America (GOA) sounded the alarm Tuesday with a warning the Biden Administration is planning executive action to put universal background checks in place.

GOA’s warning came the same day Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called on the Biden Administration to act under the auspices of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to “issue and [make] effective” more regulations on gun sales.

Breitbart News noted Blumenthal’s push for executive action on gun control, pointing out that it would entail a change in the definition of who/what constitutes a gun dealer.

This change in definition would be made in light of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, an act which Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) brokered with Democrats, and would usher in a broadened requirement for background checks on gun sales.
