“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Donald Trump Jr. is the new spokesman for suppressors

by Jews Can Shoot on January 22, 2017

The President Elect’s son is making some news this week, this time as a vocal proponent for the relaxation of regulations on suppressors for shooters. For those of you who are a bit confused already, you probably know them better by their Hollywood name of silencers. This has turned into another one of those unending arguments over semantics in technology, but it’s really not on the same level as the clips vs. magazines debate because those are two different things. Even the industry doesn’t take the distinction too seriously, as you can tell by the name which SilencerCo chose for themselves.

Suppressors are currently regulated at a level which is more severe than even firearms themselves. Even if you happen to live someplace where you can get one you’ll generally wind up paying a fortune for the privilege and will be waiting quite a while to get it. Trump jr., along with many other Second Amendment enthusiasts, would like to see that changed, and a new GOP administration along with majorities in Congress may allow it to happen. But the justification being offered has nothing to so with the normal arguments over suppressors and their supposed usefulness in committing crimes. They’re arguing that they are needed to protect the hearing of shooters. (Washington Post)
