“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.

Another gun control misfire

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 3, 2025

South Dakota just became the 19th state to prohibit the use of Merchant Category Code 5723 to track customer transactions in the state. There are another six or seven states that would probably enact their own prohibitions if they thought there was a pending need.

This whole mess got started when Priscilla Sims Brown, apparently having nothing better to do, began lobbying the the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to approve a new Merchant Category Code (MCC) specifically for gun dealers. Sims Brown was, and still is, the CEO of Amalgamated Bank, a WOKE financial institution in New York.

The ISO created the new code, 5723, in September 2022 and it became effective on July 1, 2024. Previously, gun dealers had been lumped in with other categories of merchants, such as sporting goods or even general merchandise retailers.

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ... If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars." — Silveira v Lockyer, (9th Cir. 2003) (Kozinski, J. dissenting.)
