“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.

State House Approves Ban on ‘Assault Weapons’

by Doris Wise Montrose on June 14, 2025

SCOTUS decision not to grant certiorari effectively enabled this latest state assault-weapons ban by preserving the legal landscape favoring such laws.

The Democrat-controlled Rhode Island House last week green-lit controversial legislation banning the sale and manufacturing of popular common semiautomatic firearms.

Measure H 5436 was approved 43-28, broadly along party lines, and sent to the state Senate for further review. The bill would ban the future making and selling of most common semi-autos in the state under threat of a decade in prison and fines as high as $10,000. Sweeping in scope, even semi-auto shotguns with a six-shot capacity in a fixed magazine – such as some common goose guns – would be banned.

Law enforcement and the military would be exempt, while those with outlawed guns already in their possession could keep them, at least for now. Owners of these grandfathered guns would be required to obtain a “certificate of possession” from their local police department as proof that it was in hand before the law’s effective date. However, the bill mimics strict Canadian laws and limits where such grandfathered guns could be possessed to places such as on private property they own, gun ranges, and shooting clubs.
