“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.

OPINION: A tale of two signs.

One of these signs will do far more to prevent mass shooting incidents than the other. This is long overdue. We allowed Security State Republicans and Hate America Democrats to lead our country headlong into stupid. Their “America Last” strategy emphasized policy experiments that eroded liberty and created economic black holes. They have made our borders porous, our money worthless, and our schools shooting galleries. It is time to abolish their policy garbage that denies human nature and defies reality.

How many teachers could stop an active shooter in their tracks before they are able to take any lives? How many teachers have wanted to be able to concealed carry and provide security to themselves and their students, but have been stopped by the lawless edicts of a government who has reached beyond the power enumerated to it? Like the Navy, even the security that comes from the display of power would prevent the vast majority of mass shooting incidents.

Gun Free Zones are a distinct example of the kind of policy perversion that leads to the most vulnerable being made a prey. We have long been advocating for common sense gun laws and one of them is to abolish the Gun Free Zone Act then arm and train teachers who qualify and are willing
