“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.

Your Gun Isn’t the Most Important Tool You Own

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 1, 2026

Millions of American gun owners are prepared for every crisis—except the one that decides the future of their rights: the ballot box.

Across the United States, an estimated 10 million gun owners and hunters are not registered to vote. That is not a fringe group; it is a demographic larger than the population of most states. While “ten million” is a staggering national figure, it becomes concrete when you break it down by state.

A Case Study: The Arizona Math

I live in Arizona, a state with a deep-rooted culture of self-reliance, where roughly 46% of households own a firearm. Yet, approximately 133,000 Arizona gun owners are not even registered to vote.

To understand the weight of that number, consider recent elections:

The Power: 133,000 people is larger than entire Arizona cities like Goodyear or Buckeye.
The Margin: In 2020, the presidential election in Arizona was decided by just over 10,000 votes.
The Reality: Those 133,000 unregistered owners could have decided that election thirteen times over.

This isn’t just an Arizona problem. In Pennsylvania, over 515,000 gun owners are unregistered. In Michigan and North Carolina, the number sits around 370,000 each. By staying off the rolls, these millions of Americans are handing their proxy to those who do show up.

NOTE: I understand the frustration regarding election integrity, but defeatism is a gift to the opposition. If the system is broken, we fix it by overwhelming it with numbers and policing the process from the inside, not by retreating to the sidelines. A vote they have to work to cancel out is still better than a vote you never gave them in the first place.

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.

Don’t be a spectator to your own disarmament.
