“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.

10th Circuit Court Lets N.M. Ruling That Waiting Periods Are Unconstitutional Stand

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 30, 2025

The Denver-based 10^th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied New Mexico’s petition for an en banc rehearing of the lawsuit challenging the “Land of Enchantment’s” seven-day waiting period for gun transfers. Consequently, an earlier ruling that invalidates the law will stand.

The case Ortega v. Griffin targets a 2024 New Mexico law requiring individuals to wait seven days before taking possession of a newly purchased firearm—even after passing a background check and demonstrating that they are not prohibited from owning firearms. The law also states: “If the required federal instant background check has not been completed within twenty days, the seller may transfer the firearm to the buyer.” Under current federal law, if there is a NICS delay and the system doesn’t respond within three days of the background check, the FFL may complete the transaction.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF) filed a lawsuit challenging the law the same day it was enacted.

On August 19, a three-judge panel of the 10^th Circuit Court ruled that the waiting period violated the Second Amendment.
