“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.

Supreme Court Asked to Halt Morality Requirement in NY Gun Law

by Doris Wise Montrose on April 11, 2024

Restricting people from being able to defend themselves is immoral. Therefore, those creating the restrictions are immoral.

A New York City resident asked the US Supreme Court to prohibit authorities from enforcing a local gun licensing scheme that requires applicants to show good moral character.

Joseph Srour asked the justices on Friday to vacate an appellate stay of a trial judge’s decision letting the regulation go into effect.

The stay by the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit “was impulsive and legally infirm,” Srour said. It was put in place while the challenge works its way through the courts.

Judge John Cronan, of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, in October halted the licensing scheme. It requires individuals to show that they possessed “good moral character” before they could own a rifle or shotgun for self-defense.
