“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.

Pressure Building to Pass Gun Control in Maine

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 21, 2024

The anti-gunners are not pushing to prevent another mass shooting, they’re just making use of an attack as a pretext for all the gun control laws they wanted.

In the wake of Lewiston, we all knew there would be a push for gun control. While Maine is a fairly pro-gun state, all things considered, it’s also heavily Democrat. A pro-gun blue state can absolutely exist, obviously, but one has to think it exists on a knife’s edge, with one small nudge being sufficient to send it over.

And Lewiston was one hell of a nudge.

So far, Gov. Janet Mills has resisted most of the calls for extensive gun control. She’s made her own anti-gun proposals, but they’re not as bad as they could have been.

However, the pressure to pass something is starting to build.
