“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 Legislation Would Keep Fed from Collecting Info on Gun Owners

by Doris Wise Montrose on July 11, 2020

What this indicates is that there may be hundreds of thousands of law-abiding prospective gun purchasers on the government’s radar because they were mistakenly denied by NICS.

U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler introduced legislation this week that would further protect the privacy of gun owners.

Called the Gun Owner Privacy Act (GOPA), the bill would bolster existing protections that ban the federal government from collecting information on gun owners during an FBI background check.

Under current law, the fed cannot create a database of gun owners who pass a NICS check. The GOPA goes further by explicitly blocking funds for the purpose of data collection while also giving any gun purchaser who feels as though they’ve been wrongly tracked by a government agency an avenue to sue in federal court for damages.
