“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.

Thousands of gun sales on hold in Washington state amid weeks-long court system outage

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 16, 2024

Denying law-abiding citizens their full expression of the Second Amendment rights is not a small issue. Washington State is denying a civil right.

Thousands of gun sales are on hold across Washington state due to a court computer system outage preventing background checks from being completed. Two weeks into the outage, Second Amendment advocates are threatening to sue.

“In 10 years of operation … this is unprecedented for me at any level, state or federal,” Daniel Mitchell, who owns a gun store in Vancouver, told Fox News Digital. “We’ve never seen a shutdown that’s gone this long.”

The Washington State Administrative Office of the Courts announced on November 4 that the state’s courts network was taken offline after detecting “unauthorized activity.”
