“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.

A Federal Mental Health Registry to Strip Guns from Military Vets

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 3, 2023

I can’t think of a better way to spice up a marriage than by taking out a bad guy.

Every gun control law is a red flag law. Anyone who would try to take your guns, well that’s a red flag. Surprise, the usual communist suspects are trying to build a federal mental health registry to be used in conjunction with state red flag laws to strip the rights of current and formerly military personnel if they get a demerit for wearing a MAGA hat, or doubting election results, or something. And, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy wants to sneak gun control legislation for military servicemen and women into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA.)

And this week’s 2A For Today Modern Militiaman spotlight is on an armed husband and his very pregnant (and also armed) wife, who teamed up to defend themselves in a shootout against two would-be robbers. As a result, the couple and their child on the way weren’t injured, nothing was stolen from them, and the only person shot was one of the robbers. I can’t think of a better way to spice up a marriage than by taking out a bad guy.
