“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.

Biden-nominated judge can’t define assault weapons in confirmation hearing (Video)

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 20, 2024

Biden’s nominee wants “assault” weapons banned but she doesn’t know what “assault” weapons are because she isn’t a gun expert but she’s advising the court on guns. Got that?

A Biden-nominated judge struggled to answer basic questions about assault weapons during a Wednesday Senate confirmation hearing.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado of the Northern District of Illinois faced some uncomfortable moments as President Biden’s pick for the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit when questioned about a brief she signed that defended Illinois state ban on “assault weapons” that was challenged in 2012.

Sen. John Kennedy during the hearing asked Judge Maldonado to define what she meant by “assault weapons.”
