“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.

The history of “Gun Control”. A(nother) reminder.

by Doris Wise Montrose on April 6, 2024

The history of “Gun Control”.

In 1911, Turkey instituted gun control. Between 1915 and 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, no longer able to defend themselves, were rounded up and massacred. This does not include the hundreds of thousands of Greeks and islanders who were also executed.

In 1929, the Soviet Union instituted gun control. Between 1929 and 1953, an estimated 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and killed.

In 1938, Germany instituted gun control. Between 1939 and 1945, an estimated 13 million Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill, Catholics and various other minorities, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and killed.

In 1935 China instituted gun control. Between 1948 and 1952, an estimated 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and killed.

In 1956 Cambodia instituted gun control. Between 1975 and 1977 over one million “educated people”, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and killed.

In 1964, Guatamala established gun control. Between 1964 and 1981, over 100,000 Mayans, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and killed.

In 1970, Uganda instituted gun control. Over the next nine years over 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and killed.

Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Zimbabwe all had gun control laws. How did that work out for the people? I guess you could ask a survivor, if you can find one.

"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.)
