Jews Can Shoot

Jews Can Shoot Jews Can Shoot represents the intersection of Jewish identity, historical memory, and the fundamental human right of self-defense. Jews Can Shoot.

As a civil rights group, it honors the Holocaust’s memory while defending the Second Amendment. Jews Can Shoot is a civil rights and advocacy group, honoring the memory of the Holocaust to preserve, protect, and defend the Second Amendment. Jews Can Shoot understands the outcome of gun control which leads to the inability of self-defense and far too often the atrocities of repressive governments. Both parents of Jews Can Shoot founder, Doris Wise, survived the horrors of the Holocaust and met in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany. They married and moved to Toronto, Canada. The family moved to the US and proudly became citizens. Based upon the history and survival of her parents Doris realized she can never take her safety for granted. It has been Doris’s aim to educate the public that, as Prime Minister Netanyahu said,

“It is so much easier to talk about the lessons learned from the past than to implement them in the present and the future. But we, the Jewish people, cannot ignore the lessons learned from the Holocaust, as they apply to the present day.”

Jews Can Shoot was formed in 2013 for education and advocacy regarding gun laws, gun rights, legal precedent, and cause-related advocacy. Jews Can Shoots warns how the political and cultural events of today are reminiscent of those that preceded the Holocaust. Jews Can Shoot fulfills the moral imperative to protect the Jewish people from ever being helpless again. As Doris states, “It is the best way I have found to honor my parents and all the survivors, as well as the millions of victims who perished.” This passion has driven Doris to her next path with Jews Can Shoot. Jews Can Shoot both educates and advocates for gun rights of all citizens, not just Jews. The power of the Second Amendment is that it lays the foundation for all Americans that self-defense is a natural human right. No government, anywhere in the world, should have the power to deny its citizens of the right of self-protection. Jews experienced the impact of such gun control during the Holocaust. Now is the time for both Jew and non-Jew in the United States to be proactive advocates for the Second Amendment. President and Founder Doris Wise remains passionate about her mission based on her knowledge of history and the outcome of restrictive gun control legislation. We believe that “Never Again” should be a call to action, not just a slogan. And that is why Doris, child of Holocaust survivors, created Jews Can Shoot. Jews Can Shoot proves that we have, in fact, learned from history. NOTE: You do not have to be Jewish or a child of Holocaust survivors to support Jews Can Shoot. All Americans should support the Second Amendment that codifies our God-given rights to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government. No one better than Jews to understand what a tyrannical government can do and has done. THERE IS NO ONE WHO HAS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE POWER OF AN ARMED CITIZEN THAN THE JEW. We know how it starts. You know how it ends.

Torossian is making an important case: the pro-2A Jewish community deserves a seat at the table of the broader Jewish community—but first, we need to build a stronger table of our own. The organizations and individuals working for Jewish self-defense, fi****ms training, Second Amendment rights, and Jewish security need to learn to support one another, work together, and recognize that we are stronger when we do. We don't all have to do the same thing or agree on every issue. But we should be able to stand together on the things we share. A unified pro-2A Jewish community will have a far stronger voice and a much better chance of earning the place at the table that Torossian is talking about.

I’m especially pleased that Jews Can Shoot is mentioned twice in this article. I founded Jews Can Shoot in 2013, initially offering fi****ms training in the Greater Los Angeles area and bringing more than 400 people to the shooting range. From the beginning, the goal was to get Jews comfortable with fi****ms and to educate them about their right to defend themselves.

Over the years, Jews Can Shoot has grown beyond fi****ms training into education and advocacy for Second Amendment rights. So seeing Jews Can Shoot recognized as part of this growing Jewish fi****ms community—and specifically identified as an advocacy organization—is meaningful.

The bigger point is that we need each other. If we want the broader Jewish community to recognize that the pro-2A Jewish community belongs at the table, we need to first demonstrate that we can come together, support one another, and speak with a stronger collective voice.

This is an important conversation, and I’m proud that Jews Can Shoot has been part of it since 2013.

Guns N' Moses, a Jewish Gun Club, directed by Alex Dov should also be recognized in this discussion.

"The permit is the beginning."

You passed the qualification and got the permit. A veteran instructor explains why that tells you far less than you think.

I am strongly opposed to gun control, and I will continue to stand firmly for the Second Amendment and for the right of Jews to defend themselves.

But I will not post or amplify articles whose purpose is to publicly castigate Jewish organizations or Jews who disagree with us on gun policy. I can strongly disagree with them without attacking my own.

There is already more than enough anti-Jewish sentiment in the world. I don't believe Jews need to add to it by publicly disparaging other Jews. It gives antisemites far too much satisfaction to see Jews attacking one another.

Jews are not a monolith. We have different political beliefs, different opinions, and different approaches to issues—including gun rights. That doesn't mean we have to agree, but it also doesn't mean we have to publicly vilify one another.

I will defend my position. I just don't believe I need to disparage another Jew to do it.

Stand your ground adds nothing to your legal rights. It only subtracts a potential obligation. We can describe the principle as the "to go" version of the Castle Doctrine.

This is a read-only post. For Jews.
Read it. Digest it. Accept the truth of it.
And, not limited to your time in synagogue.

Central Synagogue showed us that if we outsource our security, we will only invite more attacks

How dry fire systems compare for at-home practice, from laser trainers to recoil-capable setups. What each does, who it suits, and what to skip.

“My Flock take is that even if their cameras really did cut crime in half or something (and they won't), it's not worth becoming a police state.

Also, why will our government do literally anything EXCEPT quit releasing repeat offenders?

One of the biggest lies we've been fed in recent years is "you can't incarcerate your way out of crime." Yes you absolutely can! I'm all for second chances if the first crime was not egregious, but not third, fourth, and fifth chances.

We should not have to turn ourselves into a surveillance state because we feel icky locking up dirtbags.

And remember, stopping crime is the BEST possible intention they could have for Flock cameras. The worst one is a Chinese-style social credit tracking apparatus.”

One of the most important posts I’ve shared here. If not, the most important. She is talking to women but also applies to men.

Very informative article. Longer than 130 characters. Read it anyway.

Despite some breathless headlines about a recent federal judge's decision, suppressors and other NFA items are not suddenly unregulated. The ruling is a good start, but read on to understand the important caveats of the decision.
