“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.

The Forecast for Gun Rights in New York City Isn’t Looking Good…At All

by Doris Wise Montrose on July 8, 2025

Gun rights in New York City are already severely restricted—and they’re about to get worse.

New York City residents already face some of the strictest gun control regulations of any municipality in the country. But if the Democrat nominee for mayor – current New York State Assemblyman and self-described Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani – wins the mayoral election in November, it could quickly go from bad to worse.

In a city plagued by horrible, unthinkable crime, law-abiding New Yorkers have increasingly turned to purchasing and possessing their own firearms over the past few years while crime surged and law enforcement budgets were cut.

Assemblyman Mamdani, if his past statements are to be believed, would further restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding New York City residents. That would be at the same time as he carries out a mass reduction in the number of police officers on the street, leaving the city an even more dangerous place for peaceful New Yorkers. Mamdani has waffled on previous policy positions such as his move from enthusiastically supported defunding police to now claiming to support current spending levels.

SUPPORT THE WORK OF JEWS CAN SHOOT

Antisemitism is increasing. So are efforts to restrict fundamental rights. Are you paying attention to how—and why?

Antisemitic incidents are rising across political and ideological lines. The resulting violence is no longer sporadic or abstract; it is a recurring reality confronting Jewish communities with growing frequency.

At the same time, attempts to limit the right to keep and bear arms continue unabated. These efforts are not confined to moments of crisis or tied to any single administration. They represent a long-term, coordinated push that advances regardless of who holds power.

Jews Can Shoot operates where these two trends intersect.

I document and analyze antisemitism and gun control together, over time and in context. Too often, these issues are reported in isolation—treated as disconnected events rather than parts of a broader pattern. Our work focuses on continuity, not headlines.

History is instructive. Measures first justified as “necessary” for Jews have a way of becoming precedents applied far more broadly. Cultural narratives, legal arguments, and policy frameworks rarely stop with their initial targets.

The weekly newsletter provides readers with accurate, well-sourced information to help identify these patterns as they emerge—not after they are entrenched.

This work requires consistent research, monitoring, and editorial effort.

If you value informed vigilance over complacency, I ask for your support.

A one-time or monthly contribution helps ensure that this radar stays on—and independent.
