“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.

New Anti-Gun Group Focused on State Legislatures

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 22, 2024

“The goal is not just to restrict firearms, but to also prosecute and bankrupt legal gun owners who legally protect the lives of themselves or others.”

Five of the country’s top anti-gun groups are celebrating the launch of a new organization comprised of state lawmakers, which will focus on changing state gun laws.

Legislators for Safer Communities consists of 171 state lawmakers from 43 states, and will serve as a “hub for collaboration, partnership, shared resources, strategy, research, and peer networking,” according to an Everytown for Gun Safety press release.

“The coalition will work in partnership with Brady, Community Justice, Everytown, GIFFORDS, and March For Our Lives,” the release states. All five groups issued statements heralding the new organization.

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ... If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars." — Silveira v Lockyer, (9th Cir. 2003) (Kozinski, J. dissenting.)
