“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.

It’s Not Surprising That Residents in Big Apple Are Turning to Gun Ownership

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 30, 2025

Not everybody grew up with guns. For the rest of us, it’s an event. For me, it was the day after the election of Obama.

One day, I was hanging with a group of gun rights folks here in town–it was many, many years ago–and we were all open carrying. We’d met up for dinner, and as I’m paying my tab, a woman looked at the CZ-75B on my hip and asked, “Why do you need that? What are you afraid of?”

I looked at her and said, “Nothing.”

It was a bit of a glib answer, but the truth is that I don’t carry because I’m afraid. I carry because I would be if I were powerless if I were unable to meet the dangers of the world and protect my family.

The truth is that when it comes to self-defense firearms, fear is a motivator. People get scared and decide they’re fine with the “them or me” bargain working against them should it come to that.
