“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.

Gun laws may end up in the courts, but they start with Congress

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 7, 2025

Anti-gun activists are trying to rewrite our laws through the courts because they can’t win in Congress. It’s an illegitimate end-run around democracy.

The U.S. Supreme Court didn’t just reject Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit against American gun makers — it obliterated it.

A unanimous 9–0 decision in Smith & Wesson v. Mexico confirmed what Congress made clear two decades ago: The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005 bars attempts to blame gun manufacturers for gun crimes committed by third parties.

Yet judging by his recent op-ed, Jonathan Lowy, the lawyer behind that spectacular failure, is back for an encore — this time targeting Arizona gun retailers. His Nov. 30 op-ed in The Hill, with co-author Pablo Arrocha Olabuenaga, also pitches Mexico as a global champion against gun violence. He seems to be hoping it will distract media and especially donor attention away from the legal brick wall into which he just sprinted headlong.
