“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.

Coalition of State AGs Files SCOTUS Amicus Backing Challenge to WA Mag Ban

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 13, 2025

The case is expected to send “shockwaves beyond Washington” due to its potential to reshape gun laws nationwide, contingent on how the Supreme Court interprets the Second Amendment.

A coalition of 26 state attorneys general and the Arizona Legislature have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting a petition for certiorari in the challenge of Washington state’s 2022 ban on so-called “large-capacity” magazines by a Kelso, Wash., gun shop.

It’s a case certain to cause tremors beyond Washington’s borders if the high court grants review. The case is known as Gator’s Custom Guns, Inc. v. State of Washington, and the 32-page brief may be read here.

If SCOTUS takes this case and rules that magazines are protected by the Second Amendment, it would be a crushing blow to anti-gun Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and Attorney General Nick Brown, and the Democrat majority in the state legislature. Ferguson championed the magazine ban when he was attorney general three years ago.
