Jewish gun group remembers Kristallnacht on 76th anniversary :: 11/10/2014
The night of November 9 – 10 will mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the infamous Night of Broken Glass, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership reminds its supporters by resurrecting an essay from the 60th anniversary of the obscene precursor to genocide. Written by Rabbi R. Mermelstein in 1998, the recounting of the night of official hatred and horror gives a graphic reminder of what happens when disarmed people are powerless to protect themselves from evil.
There are two common lies spread today by latter-day leftists. The first is one of projection, equating Nazis with “conservatives,” and denying that the National Socialists were just what they claimed to be. It’s part of the “For ‘progressives,’ every day is Opposite Day” truism that defines falsely self-identified “liberals,” and it’s a deception giving cover to true ideological heirs.
“It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too,” researcher and author George Watson revealed. “[Hitler’s] differences with the communists, he explained, were less ideological than tactical [and] ‘the whole of National Socialism’ was based on Marx.”
The second big lie put forth by latter day “progressives” (national socialists in their own right, when you examine their demands) is that Hitler lessened the “gun control” laws implemented by the Weimar Republic, and that having guns wouldn’t have saved the Jews anyway.
“The law did prohibit Jews and other persecuted classes from owning guns, but this should not be an indictment of gun control in general,” Alexander Seitz-Wald wrote unbelievably in a Salon hit piece, as if that made it all OK then, because non-threats to the regime could still have them. And it wasn’t just guns forbidden to “persecuted classes,” as a JPFO analysis of the November 11, 1938 (the day after Kristallnacht) law reveals.
“Jews ... are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons,” the law read. “Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.”
Ask Olympic medalist Alfred Flatow how that worked out for him, particularly because the government had gun registration lists, an inevitable byproduct of fraudulently-promoted “background checks.” And then get yourself a copy of “Gun Control in the Third Reich,” by Professor Stephen P. Halbrook, and see the incredible scholarship that went into refuting modern Holocaust Enablement Deniers like Sitz-Bath, or whatever his name is.
As for the contention that Jews would have been unable to defy their fate had they been armed, would you have preferred to go quietly with your family into the cattle cars? Just imagine what a difference could have been made had nothing-to-lose resistance like that shown in 1943’s Warsaw Ghetto uprising been started years earlier, and wherever masses of people were terrorized by the “monopoly of force” that rabid totalitarians still promote as the way things ought to be.
True to form, they’re sanitizing the phrase in order to deceive. It’s actually a “monopoly of violence, “ and it was advocated by German political economist and sociologist Max Weber, who supported approval of Article 48 into the Weimar constitution, establishing "emergency powers" to bypass Reichstag consent, and allow Adolf Hitler's rise to unchallenged power.
The embedded video is a promotional trailer for JPFO’s award-winning “Innocents Betrayed,” part of a library of landmark videos and books exclusive to “America’s most aggressive defender of firearms ownership.” Another video, “The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising,” can be viewed in total, so why not take 10 minutes to do it now?
To those who would “whistle past the graveyard of history,” deny that brutal tyranny could ever happen here, and call talk of armed defense against it unsupportable and even treasonous, where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not naive, willfully blind or downright fraudulent to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances -- and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?
The phrase “Never again” presents us with fine words. Without the means to back those words up, that’s all they are. Anyone who demands "progressive" citizen disarmament edicts is not only not your friend, but a duped or willing enemy of all who believe in common sense government control.
