“I thought you felt safe in Florida. Why have guns?” a visiting friend from Israel asked us. We do feel safe in Florida, especially as we watch the eruptions of Jew hatred in our old city. But the idea that New York City could become a hotbed of Jew-hatred was once far-fetched too. It’s exactly the “it could never happen here” feeling that has lulled so many Jews before me into complacency. We have not just been killed by our enemies in places like Israel. We’ve been killed by friends and neighbors, in Spain, in Poland and so on. Our guns say: not us, not this time.
There is no reason for a Jew not to be armed in 2024. So much of Jewish culture revolves around being the helper. We expect people to help those in trouble. We count on armed people to step in. When the call comes “someone should do something!” we don’t plan to wait around. That someone will be us.
“We aren’t ‘gun-people,’” some people say. There’s some pride in it. Who, me? Oh no, I don’t own guns, I’m not that kind of person. But unsaid is that the not-a-gun-person expects someone else with a gun to come and protect them at just the right moment. They count on police, security, military to come and help in a real crisis. The not-a-gun-person can never step up and stop a violent attack on someone, they can never protect others, can never be the hero themselves. They can save themselves, maybe, but they’ll never be the one that everyone turns to at a time of emergency. There’s something intrinsically anti-Jewish about this. We have an obligation to each other but the anti-gun Jew can’t meet it. That should be a source of shame not pride. You’re not just a not-a-gun-person. You’re a can’t-help person.
What I want is for my kids to say something else. Yes, we are gun people, actually. I want my kids to grow up shooting, to be good at it, to be comfortable with it, to know their role is not to wait for someone else. We’ll also deter. We send the most peace-bringing message of all: We own guns, we train with guns, we have an arsenal, you do not want it with us. We will help others, we will be the people that step in.
— Karol Marcowicz in How I became a gun person
“What I want is for my kids to say something else. Yes, we are gun people, actually. I want my kids to grow up shooting, to be good at it, to be comfortable with it, to know their role is not to wait for someone else. We’ll also deter.

But ya know, this was an ‘attitude’ unknown to me until Oct 7th when Israel was attacked. Some in our local gun community started getting calls from local synagogues leaders asking for help in getting people armed. I got this call from a guy who told me he needed lots of ammo and guns, he was referred to me by one of our local Jewish gun owners and that’s how I got involved. Several members of our local gun community got the same calls. Together we put together lots of guns and ammo and equipment and supplies and armed up security teams and individuals at synagogues, community centers, retirement communities, etc… that were jewish centric within a 50 mile radius, and over a few weeks ran hundreds of jewish volunteer defenders through a local gun range training course for tactical defensive gun and a more advanced course the range offered for free.
My favorite was this elderly lady in her late 70’s… during training it was like someone had released a wild animal predator in ‘shoot house 1’ (which is really one big warehouse property setup like a two story office complex). In the first phase it was simunitions and she laid waste to the instructor cadre aggressors (and some of these are trained and current military and ex-military spec ops veterans who volunteer as instructors for the course) and they were shocked at the speed and efficiency and accuracy she bought in wiping them out. They didn’t cut the trainees any slack in this phase, they acted like hostile aggressors…. She was serious about it and wiped them out. It was fun to watch, this quiet smallish granny type with grey hair all armed up and suddenly changing into Terminator when she entered the shoot house and methodically working her way through the halls and rooms wiping out the cadre.

Anti-Federalist No. 8: “For Your Safety” — The Oldest Lie in Government.
“The Founders warned us about this.
In Anti-Federalist No. 8, Brutus laid out a powerful argument about fear, government power, and how liberty is slowly eroded when people trade freedom for security. And when you connect it to the Second Amendment, the message becomes even clearer.
In this video, we break down Anti-Federalist 8 in plain English, explain what the Founders were really worried about, and show how those same concerns apply today.”

The more recent news that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was actually creating and funding the ‘racism’ and ‘white supremacy’ it claimed to be fighting – it was all a lie, one big psyop, and what the SPLC claimed did not exist in reality and its so called ‘hate map’ and stats used by the democrats and left wingers to claim ‘white supremacy’ is the greatest threat and ‘racism’ was everywhere and all white people were racist, were all lies, even the ‘fine people on both sides’ lie. Well, guess what…your tax dollars were also being used to fund the SPLC and its lies …

The mentally ill, lying, deceptive, violent left wing: Trojan Horses, the SPLC, and the Charlottesville Race Hoax.
“Beware of race-baiters bearing gifts. The latest development in the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) scandal illustrates just how committed the woke group was to manufacturing the alleged white supremacy it made huge profits from condemning.
The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) indicted the SPLC for fraud over its secretive payments to members and leaders of extremist and white supremacist groups, including the KKK, the Aryan Nations, and American Front. The latest, published on Fox News, is that the SPLC was funding and fueling white supremacist hate from the 1980s onwards, and that one of their paid informants planned and coordinated the infamous 2017 ‘Unite the Right’ rally that Democrats used for years to claim that Donald Trump and his supporters were racist. To top it off, SPLC’s fundraising took off after that rally. Talk about a Trojan Horse — the SPLC spent years building up the very movement on which it has, in recent years, made such political and financial capital slamming.

“For those still unfamiliar with the peculiar eschaton of the Iranian regime’s cultish subsect of Shi’a Islam, the entire raison d’etre of the Islamic Republic is to hasten the end of the world to produce its messiah. The Qom mullahs believe that the Twelfth Imam has already come to the world but remains hidden until a global war obliterates all opposition to Islam. The mullahs have survived for nearly a half-century on the claims of divine authority to immanentize this eschaton, which will result in a global Islamic empire based in Tehran.
