“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.

IF POLICE COME FOR YOUR GUNS

by Doris Wise Montrose on April 9, 2019

With the strong recent push for “red flag” laws, also known as ERPO (Extreme Risk Protection Orders), there has been much concern that the hasty legislation is so poorly written that it will lend itself to abuse by people with agendas harassing innocent victims. Here’s one such take on the issue.

What should we do if some hateful stalker abuses such a law with a false accusation against us? Let’s hear from the lawyers. I’m proud to be a member of the advisory board of ACLDN, the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network. Knowing that all citizens can’t afford to join this longest-established of the post-self-defense legal support groups, ACLDN makes its excellent monthly journal available to all as a public service. Each issue contains a round-table of legal opinions on given issues by attorneys with significant experience in this area. For April 2019, the question was what to do if the police showed up at your home with a warrant authorizing them to seize your firearms. You can find it here.
