“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.

Responding to an active shooter

The following is a script from “Active Shooter” which aired on Nov. 22, 2015. Anderson Cooper is the correspondent. Ira Rosen and Habiba Nosheen, producers.

The coordinated strikes in Paris, carried out by terrorists at multiple locations, as well as the attack this past Friday in Mali, are the latest examples of what American law enforcement calls “active shooter cases.”

These are situations where gunmen are intent on killing as many people as possible, and often are still shooting when the police arrive on the scene.

Anderson Cooper, on assignment for 60 Minutes, begins the story from Paris.

What happened here a week ago Friday is law enforcement’s worst nightmare: multiple shooters attacking multiple locations, stretching the resources of police, and crippling a city.

There was only one active shooter attack in the United States in 2000, but by 2015 there were more than one a month. They usually involve just one gunman, but American law enforcement has been expecting a Paris-style attack in the U.S. for years.
