“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.

Fifth Circuit Rules Illegal Immigrants Don’t Get Second Amendment Protections

by Doris Wise Montrose on August 31, 2024

The correct decision.

The right to keep and bear arms is a human right. It’s no different than the right to worship as one sees fit or to speak freely, though those particular rights are treated much differently in this country.

Yet there’s a question. Do illegal immigrants have the right to keep and bear arms?

One might argue that there’s nothing specifically prohibiting them from having it in the Second Amendment. Further, if it’s a human right, wouldn’t they possess it by virtue of being human?

Then there’s the flip side, that the Bill of Rights protects the rights of Americans and those who are here lawfully, thus not applying to those who crossed the border illegally.
