“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.

Governor Signs Levine, Ting & Chiu Legislation to Get Assault Weapons Off Our Streets

by Jews Can Shoot on July 23, 2016

Today Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed AB 1135 by Assemblymembers Marc Levine (D-Marin County), Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) and David Chiu (D-San Francisco). This new law closes a loophole in law that allows gun manufacturers to use “bullet buttons” to evade the assault weapons ban in California.

“This is landmark legislation that strengthens the nation’s first assault weapon ban. Congress cannot seem to get it together, and California once again is leading the way,” said Assemblymember Levine. “Military assault weapons have no place on our streets and gun violence must not be tolerated. We raise our children in communities, not war zones. This legislation closes a loophole in law that allows military-style assault rifles to be sold legally in California. The gun manufacturers’ development of the bullet button clearly exploits California law and allows dangerous weapons on our streets.”

“California’s Legislature has acted while Congress stands still,” said Assemblymember Ting. “Gun manufacturers created bullet button guns to evade our assault weapons ban. These guns were created to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. Keeping these weapons off our streets is a huge victory in our fight against gun violence.”
