“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.

Philadelphia DGU Makes the Case for ‘Large Capacity’ Magazines

“In this case multiple assailants were assaulting a single woman who needed to shoot until she stopped the threat against her life. Would three rounds have been enough? I highly doubt it.”

According to the Philadelphia police, the City of Brotherly Love saw major reductions in violent crime last year, with homicides down by 21% and non-fatal shootings down 28%; all without any new gun control legislation signed into law in Harrisburg.

While the trend is good news, Philly is far from crime-free. Thankfully, anti-gunners haven’t yet destroyed the ability of Philadelphia residents to exercise their Second Amendment rights, and one woman’s embrace of her right to keep and bear arms likely saved her life early this morning.

A man is dead and another is injured after a woman arrived home to find two alleged intruders inside her West Philadelphia apartment early Friday morning.

The shooting happened on the 6200 block of Chestnut Street around 2 a.m.

Police say the woman, armed with a gun, got into a fight with one of the men before 13 shots were fired, killing that man in a bedroom.

"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. ...
