“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.

WKYT Investigates | Ammo shortages

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 10, 2021

Ammo is the new toilet paper.

EXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – It has been a busy year for gun stores. Firearms have flown off the shelves. Ammunition has been in short supply and high demand.

“It was a problem for people to find a round of .270 to take their child hunting with,” Edwin Nighbert, president of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen, said of the state’s modern gun hunting season this fall.

And even if supply picks up in response to the scarcity, experts say the trend still could continue amid global uncertainty, political changes across the country, and further potential pandemic-related disruptions.

Because as supply has dwindled, demand has jumped.
