“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.

Elon Musk Gets to the Basis of the Second Amendment

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 2, 2024

When on stage near former President Donald Trump (R) at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Elon Musk said, “The Second Amendment is there to protect the First Amendment. As soon as the government can disarm the people, they can do anything they want.”

The audience, which extended well beyond the capacity of the cameras, roared in approval.

The mainstream media, which sardonically (or is it sarcastically?) includes Comedy Central, used their media outlets to jeer.

Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, tried to dismantle this basic truth by saying, “Guns don’t protect our free speech. Our free speech is protected by the consent of the governed laid out through the Constitution.”

"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. ...
