“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.

Full List of Republicans Backing Bid to Erase Ban on Guns in Schools

by Doris Wise Montrose on April 11, 2023

Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie on Thursday introduced a bill, with the support of 22 other House Republicans, to repeal a federal ban on guns in school zones, which would allow local governments and school boards to “unambiguously” set their own gun policies.

The national debate on gun control was reignited recently after a mass shooting at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, which sent shock waves across the country. On March 27, six people were fatally shot at the Covenant School, including three 9-year-olds. Audrey Hale, 28, was shot and killed by the police after they arrived at the scene.

The Nashville attack is one of the hundreds of school shootings that have occurred over the past few years. The K-12 School Shooting Database, an independent research project, says that 103 school shootings have taken place so far in 2023, while 303 occurred in 2022.
