“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.

Coalition wants New York City gun ban struck down

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 8, 2024

“A deprivation of Second Amendment rights is an injury that, by its very nature, is irreparable.”

A coalition of gun rights groups are asking a judge to strike down New York City’s ban on Tasers and stun guns, arguing that restrictions preventing civilians from owning electronic weapons are unconstitutional.

New York City Police began using them in 2008.

In a U.S. District Court filing, the Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment say recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings striking down firearm restrictions make the city’s ban illegal and ask a federal judge to block the city from enforcing the restrictions.

“The stun gun and Taser bans set forth in the Administrative Code and the Penal Law conflict directly with the Second Amendment’s guarantee protecting the people’s right to keep and bear arms for their protection,” lawyers for the group wrote in the 22-page court filing. “A deprivation of Second Amendment rights is an injury that, by its very nature, is irreparable.”
