“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.

Colorado Dems Want to Ban HOW MANY Guns?

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 19, 2024

Colorado Democrats have come out guns blazing against our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, with a new bill that would prohibit “a person from manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, offering to sell, or transferring ownership” of around 200 semiautomatic rifles and pistols. It’s impossible to get an exact count because while the ban list explicitly names 192 firearms, some are blanket bans like “Windham Weaponry AR Rifles” or “All Uzi types” of pistols.

So when the headline asked “How many guns?” the answer is, “Nobody quite knows.”

House Bill 24-1292 is titled “Prohibit Certain Weapons Used in Mass Shootings,” and was introduced this week by Denver Democratic Reps. Elisabeth Epps and Tim Hernández.

PA COMMONWEALTH COURT HOLDS THAT THE COMMERCIAL SALE OF ARMS IS NOT PROTECTED BY THE SECOND AMENDMENT

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ... If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars." — Silveira v Lockyer, (9th Cir. 2003) (Kozinski, J. dissenting.)
