“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.

Michigan, Hawaii Launch ‘Tip Lines’ To Snitch On Gun Owners

Two Blue States Launch ‘Tip Lines’ To Snitch On Gun Owners

Michigan and Hawaii recently advanced tip lines aimed at preventing gun crime, but Second Amendment proponents warn these initiatives could be weaponized against law abiding citizens.

On Thursday, Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed into law an education funding bill – except it allocated money to establish an anonymous tip line for students to report improper storage of firearms, according to House Bill (HB) 5503.

The bill allocates up to $1 million for 2024-2025 to create a tip line at an intermediate district, according to the legislation. It also funds the creation of “educational materials” with information on how to report improperly stored guns.

The legislation notes that an “improperly stored firearm” is one stored in violation of Michigan’s Act 372 of 1927, a law that regulates how firearms are stored in the presence of minors.

Federal judge strikes down assault weapons ban in Illinois

"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.)
