“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.

Gun Owners SA urges parties to include them in firearm policy

by Jews Can Shoot on May 5, 2019

“Countries that are not stable tends to clamp down on civilian ownership of firearms, why, because they are scared, because the governments fear their population. They fear the electorate. Countries that are very secure in their democracy tends not to worry about armed citizens, because they know they’re doing what the people want in any case.”

CAPE TOWN – Gun Owners South Africa says more political parties should have a firearm policy aimed at legal gun owners.

The firearms rights advocacy group recently interacted with political parties on their stance relating to gun-related issues.

Members say government should recognise legal firearm owners as part of the solution to restore law and order in society.

Statistics quoted by the group indicates there are about 3 million legal firearm owners in South Africa.

The organisation’s chairman, Paul Oxley, says they’ve received responses from seven political parties on gun ownership.
