“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.

Movies vs Reality: Are Women with Guns Accurately Portrayed?

by Doris Wise Montrose on July 6, 2024

Please note that the founder and president of Jews Can Shoot is a woman. I know very many women who shoot. We mix very well with firearms.

Once I began shooting, it didn’t take long for me to realize that Hollywood does a terrible job of accurately portraying firearms. Not to mention the people who shoot them. A common theme we see in movies is that women and firearms do not mix. I am here to say that this could not be further from the truth. To break these idiotic stereotypes, let’s look at all the false ways movies depict how women behave with guns.

Women with Guns: Movies vs Reality

Myth #1: Women Are Unable to Manage Firearms

The first way movies represent women with firearms is that they cannot manage them. To give you an example, consider the movie Killers.

This comical movie is about a woman named Jen who learns that her charming husband, Spencer, is actually a deadly spy. To make matters worse, he has a multi-million dollar hit out on him. To save Spencer’s life, the couple must find out who put a hit on him while maintaining their neighborly appearances.

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
