“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.

FPC Files Brief In Appeal Concerning 3rd Grader’s Gun-Related Cap

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 28, 2024

Besides being a violation of the First Amendment, we all know what messages today’s school wouldn’t have a problem with – even celebrate.

The Firearms Policy Coalition has filed an opening brief in the appeals phase of an FPC-backed lawsuit challenging a Michigan Public School’s ban on gun-related speech.

The case involves a third-grade Michigan girl who, on the school’s “hat day,” was told she couldn’t wear a hat bearing the text “Come and Take It,” along with an image of an AR-15 rifle. In the case C.S. v. McCrumb, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled that the school district was within its bounds in banning the hat and that the decision “was justified by undisputed evidence in the record and therefore does not violate the First Amendment.”

FPC has appealed the ruling to the 6^th Circuit Court of Appeals and recently filed its opening brief on the case.
