“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

The Senior’s Equalizer: Why Firearms & Awareness Are Not Optional

by Doris Wise Montrose on June 2, 2025

Thrilled to share my first published piece on Ammoland.com!

As we age, we gain perspective, wisdom, and hard-earned experience. But we also lose some physical capabilities we once took for granted: strength, speed, balance, and stamina. These changes do not make us weak, but they do make us vulnerable in ways we were not before.

Unfortunately, criminals know this all too well.

Seniors are targeted because predators see us as easy prey. They assume we cannot fight back, that we will be slow to react, easily overpowered, or simply afraid. In many cases, they are right, because when it comes to brute force, a 70 or 80-year-old cannot outmatch a 20 or 30-year-old attacker. That is not defeatism. That is reality.

The question is not whether we should defend ourselves. The question is how we do it effectively. The answer? Situational awareness, a firearm, and ongoing training.

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. ...
