“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Hey guys, I am Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner and today we’re going to talk about how to use an AR-15. This is an updated version of the original video we posted back in 2017.

If you’re new to guns in general, or just new to the AR-15, I’m going to show you the basics of how to safely load, unload, and fire an AR. No video can take the place of real, in-person training from a qualified instructor, but this should help get you going in the right direction.

Rules for Safe Gun Handling

Before we get into the specifics, we need to start out with a few guidelines for safety. Safe is a relative term. Anything we do with firearms is inherently dangerous. Every time you pick up a gun, you are making life and death decisions, whether or not you realize it. We can reduce that risk by following the four basic rules of safe gun handling. There are different ways to phrase these rules, but they usually go something like this:
