“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.

Cekada Heading ATF Still a No-Win Scenario for Gun Owners

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 22, 2026

“As gun owners, we can either submit to the destruction of our rights, or we can have our lives destroyed. Some, a few, will just not comply, and some of those, if smart and lucky, will not get caught. Just understand—the game is rigged against us, and the guy playing for the government – praise from prominent “gun rights” influencers notwithstanding – is working for the Klingons.”

“Simply put, ATF is an agency that ensures violent criminals are put behind bars,” Sen. Jerry Moran explained in his introduction/testimonial for Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Director nominee Robet Cekada, appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Feb. 6 confirmation hearing. That he was stumping for the guy is hardly surprising, because while widely regarded as “a strong proponent of Second Amendment rights, consistently voting against gun control legislation and advocating for gun owners’ rights,” he also asserts “We must redouble our efforts to enforce all existing gun laws, which are extremely effective in protecting law-abiding citizens…” How that differs from a colonist in 1775 saying “Enforce existing Intolerable Acts” is unclear.

No matter, at least as far as the “gun rights” establishment is concerned. Cekada appears to be a shoo-in:

“Trump ATF Director Nominee Faces Little Pushback in Confirmation Hearing,” The Reload reports. “President Donald Trump’s pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) experienced smooth sailing through his Senate examination this week.”

“President Trump’s ATF pick clears Senate hearing easily,” the Second Amendment Foundation echoed.

“An ATF Director Republicans Can (Finally) Support,” the National Review gushed.

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.
