“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

Second Amendment

Lawmakers Send Letter To AG Bondi Urging DOJ To Stop Supporting National Firearms Act

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 24, 2025

For anyone disappointed by Trump’s nomination of Pam Bondi, this comes as no surprise. He promised to defend the Second Amendment, despite references to it being removed from the 2024 GOP Platform. Of course, the alternative wasn’t an option. But what if Trump and his DOJ fail to follow through on that promise?

We’ve previously documented how the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice has taken the wrong side in court cases challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA), now that the $200 tax has been removed.

President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, signed on July 4, removed the $200 tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), shot-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and NFA-defined any other weapons (AOW). The measure would have removed those items from the NFA entirely, but a Senate parliamentarian determined that it would violate the Byrd Act, so the language was removed.

Now, lawmakers, disgruntled that the DOJ is fighting to preserve the NFA, have sent a letter to DOJ leaders explaining that Congress intended to completely repeal the NFA and asking the DOJ to stop defending the law in court.

American Jewish Leader: Australia's Issue Isn't Gun Control

SUPPORT THE WORK OF JEWS CAN SHOOT

Antisemitism is increasing. So are efforts to restrict fundamental rights. Are you paying attention to how—and why?

Antisemitic incidents are rising across political and ideological lines. The resulting violence is no longer sporadic or abstract; it is a recurring reality confronting Jewish communities with growing frequency.

At the same time, attempts to limit the right to keep and bear arms continue unabated. These efforts are not confined to moments of crisis or tied to any single administration. They represent a long-term, coordinated push that advances regardless of who holds power.

Jews Can Shoot operates where these two trends intersect.

I document and analyze antisemitism and gun control together, over time and in context. Too often, these issues are reported in isolation—treated as disconnected events rather than parts of a broader pattern. Our work focuses on continuity, not headlines.

History is instructive. Measures first justified as “necessary” for Jews have a way of becoming precedents applied far more broadly. Cultural narratives, legal arguments, and policy frameworks rarely stop with their initial targets.

The weekly newsletter provides readers with accurate, well-sourced information to help identify these patterns as they emerge—not after they are entrenched.

This work requires consistent research, monitoring, and editorial effort.

If you value informed vigilance over complacency, I ask for your support.

A one-time or monthly contribution helps ensure that this radar stays on—and independent.
