“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.

SAF Travel Advisory to Gun Owners: ‘Avoid California’

by Jews Can Shoot on August 8, 2017

The Second Amendment Foundation today took an extraordinary step Monday by issuing a first-of-its-kind “travel advisory” to American gun owners, warning them to stay out of California.

“Right now,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, “I wouldn’t suggest to any gun owner that they even travel through the state, much less to it as their final destination.”

The Golden State has been a tourist magnet for generations, with Disneyland, Hollywood, ocean beaches, Yosemite and thousands of other attractions. But over the past 25-40 years, Californians have been moving out, heading to Washington, Oregon, Arizona, southern Idaho, western Montana, Colorado, Arizona and elsewhere. Years ago in the Evergreen State, the influx of Californians moving to the Puget Sound area caused the natives to declare, “Don’t Californicate Washington.” Similar sentiments have been expressed by locals in many of the other states that have seen an influx of California refugees.

But Gottlieb’s advisory has nothing to do with the people, and everything to do with the state’s gun laws. California gun laws are among the strictest in the nation, and critics say they are getting worse.

Amazing Anti Gun Control Speech! Henson Ong at Gun Violence Prevention Public Hearing on 1/28/13

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.

Don’t be a spectator to your own disarmament.
