“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.

Texas Bill Would Allow Property Owners to Shoot Down Trespassing Drones

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 3, 2025

Shooting down drones is banned federally.

A bill has been filed in the Texas House that would allow a property owner to disable, destroy, or damage unmanned aircraft flying over their property — both a pressing concern for any Texans who have experienced an unidentified object flying over their home, and a bilateral potential threat to public safety.

Rep. Jeff Leach’s (R-Plano) House Bill (HB) 2916 plays off of Sections 28.03 and 28.04 of the Texas Penal Code, which outlines what constitutes an illegal action when destroying other individuals’ property — asserting that taking down an unmanned aircraft, like a drone, is an affirmative defense when it crosses property lines.

Three requirements must be met according to HB 2916 for shooting down a drone to be considered an affirmative defense: that the flying object must have been on property “owned or legally occupied by the person,” that it was shot down using a “firearm legally possessed by the person to disable, damage, or destroy an unmanned aircraft that the person did not authorize to be on or over the property,” and that the person had not previously been “prohibited from discharging the firearm” under the penal code or “dedicatory instrument governing use of the property.”
