This post on my Jews Can Shoot Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/JewsCanShoot/) is proving what I expected: lively debate. So far, 2.3K reactions, 1.1K comments, and 321 shares! My favorite comment so far: I love this argument. It enrages people all day without even getting into politics or religion. ‘“Why carry a 9mm when a .45 makes

The Justice Department’s new “Second Amendment Rights Section” is an expansion of government, the exact opposite of what the Founders intended. Gun rights aren’t a federal program. What we really need is fewer government offices and less 2A “oversight,” because that’s what these agencies become. The Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of

A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws. Charles Foehner, 67, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal weapons possession Thursday in a deal to end his case

In early October, Canada’s Liberal government kicked off it’s long-delayed compensated confiscation efforts with a test run in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Jewish History, Gun Rights, and the American Disarmament Puzzle People often ask: “Given Jewish history, why are Jews overwhelmingly anti-gun and vote Democrat?” Let’s start by clarifying something: Jews aren’t overwhelmingly anything. We’re about 2% of the American population, and we argue about everything—always have. The premise behind that question is already wrong. The real

Most shooters ask the same question sooner or later: How much ammo do I actually need on hand? The answer depends on how often you train and what you’re preparing for. You don’t need a pallet of surplus to be ready—but you do need a plan. This guide breaks ammo requirements into practical categories and

Everytown for Gun Safety just released a set of “Debunking Gun Myths at the Dinner Table” — a script designed to help people push gun control at the table while passing the turkey. Their guide claims to “debunk gun myths,” offering canned responses for anyone looking to lecture a pro–Second Amendment relative. Jews Can Shoot
