“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.

Car Control vs. Gun Control

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 15, 2025

In light of recent attacks, analyzing “you need a driver’s license to have a car, so gun owners should do the same thing.”

“You should be required to get a license for a gun just like a car.” So says one approach from firearm prohibitionists pushing for more legislation and restrictions. This has numerous problems:

No restrictions, licensing, registration, or insurance requirements exist to own a vehicle, provided you don’t drive it in public.
It is stunningly easy to rent a motor vehicle, even as a visitor in a foreign country. I’ve rented cars in different countries that never bothered to verify whether I knew which side of the road they drove on.
It’s a false assumption that driver’s licensing has been effective at improving safety.

Does “car control” even work?
