“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.

Huffington Post Inadvertently Outlines Why Gun Owners Chose Trump

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 16, 2024

They will always out themselves.

Of all the liberal media wailing over last Tuesday’s win by Donald Trump in the presidential election, an analysis posted at Huffpost.com was perhaps the most interesting—mainly because while bemoaning what a Trump presidency might mean for gun control, the outlet did a good job outlining why most gun owners supported the former president.

In the piece headlined “What A Trump Win Means For Guns” and under the subhead “The election deals a major blow to the movement to reform gun laws,” author Roque Planas started by perpetuating a lie that most in the “mainstream” media use quite often.

“The movement to expand gun rights gained further momentum Tuesday as voters returned Donald Trump to the White House,” the story stated. Of course, gun rights don’t need any expansion. The problem is that many government entities don’t recognize the Second Amendment. Forcing governments to recognize that doesn’t expand rights; it simply ensures the Second Amendment receives the respect it deserves.
