“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.

Gun Rights Group: NRA’s Support of Regulation Is Laying Down ‘Cover’ for Pro-Gun Control Republicans

by Jews Can Shoot on October 12, 2017

Following the NRA’s statement favoring ATF regulatory action on bump stocks versus Congressional action on gun control, Ohioans for Concealed Carry warned that the NRA’s move lays down “cover” for pro-gun control Republicans whose behavior is usually checked by a strong NRA stand.

In other words, Republicans who have expressed openness to gun control following the Las Vegas attack do not have the normal degree of pro-gun pressure on them because the NRA quickly acquiesced to the option of ATF regulation over their old mantra of “Stand and Fight.”

Therefore, while House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX), Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), and Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), are certainly under constituent pressure to hold the pro-Second Amendment line, they are simultaneously shielded — to a point — by the NRA’s actions.
