“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.

Taiwan ‘Gun Control’ Means Civilian Training Too Little Too Late

by Doris Wise Montrose on July 1, 2023

Despite the threat of a communist invasion, civilians are still disarmed.

“The war in Ukraine saw civilians take up arms and put up a fierce fight for their homeland. As the war rages on, Taiwan is now taking cues to strengthen its home grown defence program in particular with civilians now proactively studying urban warfare to bolster their defences against China’s increasing military might,” The World is One News noted in the overview to its video report on the move to create invasion deterrents.

“Taiwan has been focused on strengthening its domestic defense programs with self-reliance now key, especially after Russia’s war on Ukraine which has served as a grim reminder of the plausibility of Chinese invasion that has rekindled the need to bolster defenses,” the reporter explains.

“It’s not just the Taiwanese military taking inspiration from the fierce resistance of civilians in Ukraine,” the report elaborates. “Taiwanese people are now taking up urban warfare studies. The number of students studying urban warfare firearms studies and first aid courses has quadrupled.”
