“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.

Codrea Brings Up Good Point About ‘In Common Use’

by Doris Wise Montrose on May 11, 2024

I first heard the phrase “in common use” regarding guns following the Heller decision. The idea was that if a gun was in common use by the people, it couldn’t be banned or even heavily restricted like Washington, D.C. had done with handguns.

But the thing is that there are a lot of weapons that aren’t in common use primarily because it’s illegal for us to own them.

Believe me, I’d probably opt for select-fire weapons anytime there was a choice, simply because it gave me a choice. However, that’s not something I can really explore because I have a writer’s salary and a family with an annoying need to eat sometime this week.

Weak, I know.
