“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.

How McSally Should Frame The Gun Debate In AZ Senate Race

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 18, 2020

‘The message that McSally needs to deliver is simple: “Arizonans, don’t let Mark Kelly Californicate Your Second Amendment Rights.” That is the issue.’
The exact reason I left California for Arizona.

For Second Amendment supporters, the choice in the special election for the U.S. Senate seat in Arizona is an easy one. Republican Martha McSally has an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, while Democrat Mark Kelly helped create one of the nation’s biggest and well-funded gun control groups. Still, McSally is far from a perfect candidate, and her awkward attacks on Kelly’s support for gun control haven’t been nearly as effective as they could be.

Gun control wasn’t one of the top issues in the campaign until McSally and Kelly met on a debate stage last week. That’s when McSally first brought up Giffords, the gun control organization founded by Kelly and his wife, former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who suffered severe injuries in an active assailant attack in Tuscon, Arizona back in 2011. Rather than go after Kelly for supporting all kinds of draconian gun control laws, however, McSally tried to use the gun control group to tie Kelly to far-Left Democrats like Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
