“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.

New Yorkers Are Finally Learning How Hard the City Makes Gun Ownership

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 30, 2025

New York isn’t moving toward constitutional carry, but the demand for firearms in New York City is exploding.

Gun shops and instructors are slammed with residents trying to navigate the state’s maze of requirements just to exercise a basic constitutional right.

What many first-time buyers are discovering is that they can’t simply walk into a store, buy a gun, and walk out. Not that day. Not that week. Sometimes not even that year. The delays and layers of red tape are by design. New York’s political class has spent decades building a system that frustrates lawful citizens into giving up.

After the Supreme Court struck down New York’s restrictive “may issue” carry scheme in Bruen, interest skyrocketed. But the rush started earlier. Crime spiked during the pandemic. Riots and looting hit the city. Police budgets were cut. Cashless bail kept violent offenders on the street. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s policies turned the revolving door even faster. Add a wave of officer retirements, and many residents decided they were on their own.
