“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.

11 People You’ll Meet at the Shooting Range

by Jews Can Shoot on September 23, 2017

If you’ve ever been to the shooting range, you’ll recognize at least a couple of these classic characters. How many have you experienced?

1. Guy who keeps his ear protection on during ceasefire

And…it’s super effective. Kudos for being safe but you’re kind of loud.

2. The guest

We were all one of them before so I’ll go easy. They probably were invited by someone and is either a little scared/excited but ready to learn, or thinks they know everything since they prestiged a couple times in Call of Duty. Hopefully someone’s taught them the 4 firearm rules and some basic grip and stance. If it goes well, we get to add another gun enthusiast to our tribe!

3. Possibly gang affiliated guy

Good thing is…he’s probably terrible. It’s pretty hard to shoot one handed with brass spraying into your face.

4. Unsafe guy

Could be anything from pointing the muzzle at people or keeping their fingers on the trigger during reloads. Makes the rest of us look bad if something happens…get away and tell the range officer!

5. Guy with the best money can buy

You want to hate the guy…but damnit, does he have some good taste! Most likely a dentist or someone from IT.
