“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.

Legislation Would Protect Gun Trace Data From Political Abuse

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 10, 2025

A new measure before the U.S. Congress is designed to enhance safeguards for protected firearm trace data, which the weaponized Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) misused under the Biden Administration.

The 2003 Tiahrt Amendment prohibits the release of firearm trace data to anyone other than law enforcement or prosecutors investigating a crime. HR 1698, the Law Enforcement Protection and Privacy Act, would ensure firearm trace data remains safeguarded from misuse that threatens investigations and lives.

The author of the measure, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-Louisiana, said the measure is important and must be addressed now.

“The unlawful disclosure of sensitive firearm trace data greatly jeopardizes criminal investigations and puts law-abiding citizens at risk,” Rep. Higgins said in a press release announcing the measure. “This legislation is crucial in protecting the integrity of ongoing criminal investigations and the many lives of those involved, as well as the Second Amendment rights of every American.”

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
