We commemorate Kristallnacht with vigils every year. But nobody remembers what happened the very next day, which was much more fateful. Hat tip EPJ.
Jews around the world and in Israel – stay armed, stay safe.

Important post.
I know some of your neighbors who have already had their guns taken away.
Does your town have a private security company, instead of its own residents
guarding the place?
Are your residents even allowed to volunteer?
Were you told that this was for the sake of efficiency?
Maybe you think that your town is safe from expulsion, but there are many others which have had the above already happen to them,…implemented by their stupid, naive, or collaboraing town councils.
Residents guard, there is a Kitat Konnenut but it’s hard to get in. I don’t think any town is safe from expulsion, and I don’t believe in the legitimacy of town councils.
