Jews Can Shoot is a civil rights group that honors the memory of the Holocaust to preserve, protect and defend the Second Amendment and was formed for the purpose of education regarding gun laws, gun rights, legal precedent and advocacy through education. Jews Can Shoot understands the outcome of gun control which leads to the inability of self-defense and far too often the atrocities of repressiv
e 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.
