“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.

Bergman Bill Targets Discrimination Against Gun Industry

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 15, 2025

Good point made in Comments: These bills focus on “financial institutions”. The problem is the credit card processor is not a financial institution. Toothless bill.

A measure recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Michigan, aims to end corporate entities’ ability to profit from taxpayer-funded federal contracts while discriminating against the firearms industry.

HR 45, known as the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, ensures that corporations cannot gain from contracts and subcontracts funded by taxpayers while using their financial power to unfairly discriminate against the firearm industry. The act does not dictate to companies whom they can do business with, but just as companies have the freedom to choose their business partners, the government can make similar decisions when spending taxpayers’ money.

According to Rep. Bergman, large financial institutions and other corporations, many of which benefit from federal contracts, have increasingly adopted policies aimed at undermining the domestic firearm industry—from imposing restrictions on the products they can sell to outright refusing to provide essential services. These policies have effectively limited access to legal firearms well beyond the firearm laws established democratically at the state and federal levels.
