“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.

Second Amendment

5th Circuit overrules itself, finds law banning handgun sales to adults younger than age 21 unconstitutional

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 5, 2025

“The operative clause of the Second Amendment states that ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,’” the 5th Circuit said. “There are no age or maturity restrictions in the plain text of the Amendment, as there are in other constitutional provisions.”

After reexamining its precedent, a federal appeals court has ruled that a federal ban on handgun sales to youths ages 18 to 20 violates the Second Amendment.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals New Orleans said it 2012 decision upholding the ban was incorrect based on subsequent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court. The appeals court ruled Jan. 30 in a panel opinion written by Judge Edith H. Jones, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan.

The 5th Circuit said the handgun-sale ban is covered by the plain text of the Second Amendment, and the ban is inconsistent with the nation’s history and tradition.
