“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.

Editorial: ‘Ghost Gun’ in CEO’s Murder Used to Bash American Freedoms

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 22, 2024

In the tragic wake of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder, public discourse has, unsurprisingly, pivoted to the weapon rather than the perpetrator. The focus has intensified around the so-called “ghost gun” found with suspect Luigi Mangione—a term laden with sensationalism and utilized by those eager to stigmatize one of America’s foundational freedoms.

The narrative spun by mainstream media and certain political circles paints ghost guns as a dire threat crafted solely for criminal enterprises, yet this perspective glaringly omits the broader context of individual rights and governmental overreach.

The insistence that these firearms should be regulated like those purchased in stores overlooks a critical aspect of American liberty—the right to self-made guns.
