“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.

Broward judge dons virtual reality headset in what’s thought to be a courtroom first

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 8, 2025

A Florida judge used a virtual reality headset to understand the defendant’s circumstances in an alleged act of self-defense with a firearm.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – At a stand-your-ground hearing on Tuesday, Broward County Judge Andrew Siegel experienced a unique approach to understanding a defense expert’s opinion: He used a virtual reality headset. It’s believed to be a historic moment in a Florida courtroom.

An artist designed an immersive experience using the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset to illustrate a defense expert’s opinion in the case of Southwest Ranches wedding venue owner Miguel Albisu.

Albisu is accused of waving a gun at guests at a reception in 2023 and was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

“This is when he pulls the gun out, when he is backed up against the bar,” defense expert Bill Engler testified.
