“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.

Preschool Owner Defends Parent-Approved Field Trip to Gun Range

by Jews Can Shoot on September 3, 2017

The owner of Holdheide Academy in Woodstock, Georgia, is defending a recent parent-approved preschool field trip to a gun range.

School owner Tammy Dorsten said the students were studying Annie Oakley, and the gun range — High Caliber Firearms — has a 1984 version of the very kind of rifle Oakley would have used.

WSBTV reported that “parents approved” of the trip, and Dorsten said such a trip is “definitely a part of … Georgia-approved curriculum.”

Yet people from outside the area are taking aim at the field trip. WSBTV reported that one person opined that the trip was “unacceptable, irresponsible and dangerous.”

Dorsten saw it otherwise. She stressed that it “was a wonderful learning experience with a safety class before and after the guns were handled.” And as for those who complain, she said, “I’m fine with everyone having their own opinion. I’m just so glad our children were able to have an educational experience.”
