“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.

Second Amendment

Update: Over 70 counties in N.C. have endorsed symbolic gun rights gestures, New Hanover might be next

‘“I think it’s just a step in trying to strip our rights as American citizens and leave us defenseless, so that we can have a socialist, and eventually probably communist country here,” …

This is the real goal of all gun control efforts.

Update: County Commissioners approved the motion to support the Second Amendment resolution.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY — Second amendment advocates succeeded in convincing New Hanover County Commissioners to consider a resolution that would symbolically affirm the County’s belief in the peoples’ right to bear arms.

Commissioners will vote on the resolution during Monday’s meeting, and if passed, it would require neither further action nor taxpayer funding.

“I feel like the second amendment is fundamental to any other amendment in the constitution,” Minta Clore, a local organizer for N.C. 2A Advocacy Group, said. “Without the Second, you can’t have any of the rest because you have no way to defend them.”

The N.C. 2A Advocacy Group works with localized grassroots efforts — like the one in New Hanover County — to lobby N.C. county commissions into passing “Second Amendment Sanctuary” resolutions in their areas.
