“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.

You Still Have Time to Vote and the Results Will Surely Affect Your Gun Rights

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 2, 2024

We know…you’ve heard it a hundred times. This election is the most important election of our lives. Both parties say the same damned thing in the run-up to every single election at every level every year, from school board to city council to president of the United States.

That being the case, we won’t repeat that well worn claim. But we will tell you that there couldn’t be a clearer difference between the two candidates at the top of the ticket where gun rights are concerned.

And then there’s the matter of the Supreme Court. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Sotomayor are no spring chickens. Whoever wins on Tuesday — or whenever the wrangling over the results is finally concluded — will likely have an opportunity to make a significant and lasting change to the ideological balance of the Court for the next generation or two. That alone should be enough to get you off your ass and to the polls.

"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.)
