“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.

New Jersey gun-rights case has Arizona attorney general concerned

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 31, 2019

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich: “Our office takes no position on what the proper evaluation criteria or what the specific requirements for issuing a handgun permit in each state should look like,” Anderson said. “But we also don’t believe the government should be in the position of deciding which law-abiding and legally-qualified citizen gets to exercise their Second Amendment right.”

Arizona and 22 other states are asking the highest court in the nation to weigh in on gun rights after a New Jersey resident was denied a permit to carry a firearm outside of his home.

The U.S. Supreme Court has not heard a case concerning the Second Amendment for nearly a decade, according to USA TODAY. However, last week, the court agreed to hear a case concerning the transportation of firearms outside city limits.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and 22 other state legal officials are now asking the court to take up this second case, Rogers v. Grewal, out of New Jersey.

"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.)
