“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.

New Mexico attorney general says he won’t back the governor’s gun order

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 17, 2023

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – In New Mexico, the attorney general (AG) is the chief legal counsel for the executive branch of the state government. That means part of AG Raúl Torrez’s duty is to help Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s cabinet when they face legal issues, but he said he won’t support her in lawsuits over the recent, controversial public health order.

On Tuesday, September 12, the attorney general sent a letter to Lujan Grisham to let her know he won’t defend her in four lawsuits filed against her.

“Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence,” Torrez said in the letter.
