“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.

Trump Survives Assassination Attempt, Shooter Neutralized at Rally

by Doris Wise Montrose on July 15, 2024

Survives by a miracle.

The calls for keeping “weapons of war” out of the hands of…everybody… has begun.

During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a gunman tried to assassinate President Donald Trump.

During President Trump’s speech at the rally, multiple shots rang out. Fox News is reporting that there are unconfirmed reports the rifle used was an AR-15. The former President and current front-runner grabbed his right ear as United States Secret Service Officers jumped on top of him. The mic picked up a Secret Service agent saying that the former President was hit. Secret Service got Trump to his feet, where a bloodied Trump raised his fist in defiance. Secret Service then evacuated Trump from the scene.

Local police and the Secret Service took out the shooter, who was on top of a building outside the grounds about 200 yards away. The shooter was shot and killed. Another rally attendee was hit by a shot and died. Two other people at the rally were taken away by stretcher, but it is still unclear if any of the expended rounds struck them.
