“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...

Senate Bill 8 passed the Senate last month. In the House Gun Violence Prevention Committee Wednesday, House sponsor state Rep. Maura Hirschauer, D-Batavia, said the measure seeks to reduce harm.

“Safe storage can reduce unintentional injuries, suicides and intentional harm like school shootings,” Hirschauer told the committee. “About 75% of school shootings are done with firearms accessed at home.”
