“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.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

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.

GUN CONTROL: Venezuela Confiscates Civilian Guns. ARMS Socialist Regime…

by Jews Can Shoot on March 3, 2018

In today’s news, Venezuela is still a trash heap passing as a “sovereign nation.” Up until recently they were a gunless trash heap, but that’s about to change…

The socialist leader of Venezuela announced in a speech to regime loyalists his plan to arm hundreds of thousands of supporters after a years-long campaign to confiscate civilian-owned guns.

“A gun for every militiaman!” Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro said outside the presidential palace. The arming of Maduro’s supporters comes five years after Venezuela’s socialist regime outlawed the commercial sale and civilian ownership of firearms. The country recently doubled down on its gun ban through a combination of gun buybacks and confiscations in 2016.

As protests and unrest increase in Venezuela, Maduro has created a landscape where civilians are disarmed but his supporters are not.

In other words, civilians who find themselves fanboys of the socialist regime can now arm themselves and enjoy the title of militiamen. With a flick of the wrist, the president has officially made it so. Magic.

Yep, their people are still dying of starvation en masse, but this is the top priority of the Venezuelan government. In case you haven’t a brain, allow us to restate the obvious. The government and Venezuelans are not friends. Yet Venezuelans still rely solely on the government to take care of them…

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.
