“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.

Supreme Court Must Solve Split Menacing Second Amendment Rights

by Doris Wise Montrose on May 19, 2025

Ave Maria School of Law senior fellow Mark Smith says Florida and the courts are misapplying originalist analysis and are stripping adults of their rightful Second Amendment protections.

The Supreme Court and the Trump administration can—and should—step in to ensure every 18-to-20-year-old’s Second Amendment rights are protected from state laws and misguided judges.

It was unfortunate to see the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit err in what should have been a straightforward originalist analysis under N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen. But that’s exactly what happened in NRA v. Bondi.

The Bondi case involves a challenge to a Florida gun-control law that raises the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21. The NRA sued Florida over the age requirement, arguing it violates the Second Amendment rights of young adults to keep and bear arms.
