“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.

Trump Executive Order Pushes DOJ to Pause Gun Cases

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 15, 2025

“Although most people celebrated the hold, seeing it as Donald Trump upholding the promise, some worry that it will be indefinite and that the ATF and DOJ are stalling to run out the clock. Time will tell. If, within 90 days, the DOJ stops defending certain cases, it could be a boom for the Second Amendment, leading to many court victories.”

The Department of Justice has asked the courts to pause cases dealing with the Second Amendment. This action shows that the DOJ might be changing its position on gun cases.

Last week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order asking the DOJ to review all the cases currently being litigated to ensure that none violate an American’s Second Amendment-protected rights. President Trump gave Attorney General Pam Bondi 30 days to respond to the executive order.

It appears that the DOJ is acting on the President’s orders. The Department of Justice’s civil division is sending out a letter to the lawyers suing them, asking for a pause in the cases so the Department can review its stance. The DOJ could decide not to defend the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) positions in court, meaning it would hand wins to the pro-gun side of the debate.
