“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.

Mexico’s Attack on US Gun Makers May Have Failed, But Their Attack on Retailers and Distributor is Still Live

by Doris Wise Montrose on June 14, 2025

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum isn’t done with her country’s abuse of the U.S. judicial system. After taking a loss at the U.S. Supreme Court with her country’s $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. firearm manufacturers, she’s still planning to go ahead with a similar lawsuit that is pending in federal court against five Arizona federally licensed firearm retailers.

The U.S. Supreme Court shot down Mexico’s claim that U.S. firearm manufacturers are responsible for $10 billion in damages resulting from the illegal firearm trafficking by narco-terrorist drug cartels. The case, Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., et al. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, resulted in a unanimous 9-0 decision in which Justice Elana Kagan wrote in the Court’s opinion that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bars the lawsuit.

President Sheinbaum thinks Mexico has another bite at the apple, though.
