“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.

First-time gun sales shoot up amid tumultuous 2020

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 18, 2020

A manipulated devastating response to a virus. Organized “protests”. Ongoing efforts in the millions of tax payer dollars to unseat a duly elected president. People understand they have to protect themselves. Second Amendment.

First-time gun sales shot up to record levels this year as more Americans armed themselves in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and massive civil unrest — and a heated and contentious presidential race that some fear could erupt in violence.

Gun industry analysts and trade groups say first-time purchases of firearms skyrocketed to more than double the national average from past years, with 40 percent of all gun sales this year attributed to newbie owners.

Jon Barker, CEO of Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, estimated that 5 million people bought firearms for the first time in the first seven months of 2020, while the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System said activity through the end of September is up 41 percent this year over the same period in 2019.
