“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.

From Whiskey to Weed: A Second Amendment Fight

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 5, 2026

From Comments: “If the gov’t sees MJ users the same as drunkards (who aren’t barred the possession of arms) then it seems the Fed just made the case for removing 4473 Item 21f.”

Are regular marijuana users the modern equivalent of “habitual drunkards” at the Founding? What about someone who regularly takes a sleep gummy? In oral arguments before the Supreme Court today in United States v. Hemani, the federal government argues that they are the same.

In August 2022, FBI agents searched Ali Danial Hemani’s home and found a Glock 9mm pistol, 2.1 ounces of marijuana, and 1.7 ounces of cocaine. Hemani told agents that he used marijuana roughly every other day.

The case could have far-ranging implications as 40 states now allow medical marijuana and 24 states, the District of Columbia, and two territories allow recreational use, and it carries major practical consequences for millions of Americans – including many gun owners. In 2022, about 18 million Americans reported using marijuana daily or near-daily, and 62 million said they had used it at least once in the past year.

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.
