“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.

Armed Marine Speaks Out About Stopping Michigan Walmart Rampage

by Doris Wise Montrose on August 6, 2025

“The only thing that separated me from the other gentlemen that had stepped in as well was what else I was carrying in my hands,” Perry said. “I think I would have ran out there or walked out there and helped either way. It was just a moment of, I’ve got a duty to protect.”

The former Marine who helped stop a stabbing spree at a Michigan Walmart is speaking out, and his account is a powerful reminder of how armed citizens and courageous bystanders can make the difference between chaos and tragedy.

Derrick Perry, a Marine veteran and hospital employee, was checking out at Walmart on Saturday in Traverse City, MI when panic erupted.

“A lady was like screaming for her son and all the employees and patrons were clamoring, trying to run in different directions,” Perry told ABC News.

Authorities say 42-year-old Bradford James Gilly stabbed multiple people inside the store, sending 11 to the hospital, before fleeing into the parking lot. That’s when Perry and other shoppers decided to act.

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.
