“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.

NYC bodega owners now armed with guns

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 6, 2024

It’s good they are doing this and a sad commentary on why they have come to this now.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — Hundreds of bodega owners across New York City are now armed with guns.

The bodega owners say violent thefts continue to plague their businesses, and they need to protect themselves, their employees, and their customers.

The United Bodegas of America organized the push to get more of the business owners to get concealed-carry licenses.

The organization also provides the grocers with gun training.

Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
