“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.

American Gun Companies Are Not Responsible for Mexico’s Violence

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 3, 2025

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear Mexico’s lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers on March 4, the battle over who is responsible for cartel violence is intensifying. Gun-control advocates, Mexico’s government and even California’s attorney general are siding with Mexico, arguing that American firearms are the cause of the bloodshed. Meanwhile, pro-Second Amendment voices, including the NRA, have countered this claim with hard facts, exposing the deeper realities of cartel armament and corruption.

Some of Mexico City’s ire stems from the Trump administration’s move to designate several cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations.” But rather than fix the problem, politicians and their U.S. supporters want to blame the legal gun industry north of the border.

Mexico’s argument rests on the idea that U.S. gun manufacturers negligently supply firearms to cartels, making them complicit in the violence. But this claim is a smokescreen—an attempt to shift the blame away from Mexico’s rampant corruption, its own military’s suspected role in arming cartels and the Mexican government’s inability to curb the influence of these criminal organizations.
