This discussion gains urgency following mass shootings that have reignited debates over gun control. The proposed amendment would read, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms inside their own homes for self-defense shall not be infringed,” shifting the focus from public…

Recent discussions highlight how the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is compatible with Jewish law, allowing Jews to own firearms for self-defense. The argument is grounded in the interpretation that the right to bear arms is an individual right, as emphasized by the significance of punctuation in the amendment’s wording. Author Bob Ryan outlines the historical context, citing the Shulchan Aruch, a key Jewish legal text, which supports the principle of self-defense. He also references recent trends among American Jews seeking armed protection in response to rising antisemitic violence, making a compelling case for why communities may choose to…

The nitrogen levels in these early people are so high that they often exceed the levels of so-called hyper-carnivorous animals: the wolves and big cats that eat nothing but meat.But humans and Neanderthals almost definitely didn’t eat that much meat: not only do we know they depended on plant foods,…
