“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.

The truth about the video making the rounds on Trump to pass national reciprocity.

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 16, 2024

Now, what’s got people buzzing is that Donald Trump Jr. posted it on his Instagram,
Saying: “My father just announced full concealed carry reciprocity. The 2nd Amendment will stay and remain protected.” sparking questions about whether this will carry through now that Trump’s gearing up for another term.

Trump said in the video, and I quote, “Your Second Amendment does not end at the state line.” He’s talking about making concealed carry permits work across state lines, just like a driver’s license. Imagine that – no more checking your map to see which states will treat you like a criminal just for exercising your right to self-defense.

Here’s what we know: Trump can’t pass national reciprocity on his own. He needs Congress, and lucky for him, Republicans have the House and Senate. If they get a bill on his desk, he’s likely signing it faster than you can say, “2A for life.” This time, there’s a real shot at making national reciprocity a reality.
