“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.

Judiciary Chairman Durbin Undergoes Startling Attitude Adjustment on Gun Laws With Senate Control About to Switch to the GOP

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 16, 2024

Sudden change of heart?

The implications from last week’s election results are quickly reverberating through the halls of Congress. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing this week titled How Bump Stocks and Other Conversion Devices are Amplifying the Gun Violence Epidemic, and Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) struck a noticeably different tone than his usually combative anti-Second Amendment style, seeking instead to offer to work together with Republicans in the new Congress when majority control flips in January.

“I hope to be able to work with the new incoming chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley,” said Chairman Durbin.

The chairman, of course, works closely with President Joe Biden’s administration and The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to carry out the president’s gun control agenda. Remember that President Biden deemed the firearm industry “the enemy” from the debate stage in 2019. The past four years has seen plenty of combative committee hearings where pro gun control senators attacked law-abiding gun owners and the lawful and highly-regulated firearm arm industry.
