Never Again - What It Means

Dictators always start with confiscating guns. Whether in Germany or in China or any other dictatorship, dictators don't want the population armed.

We have a couple of stories about "Never Again" from Jews Can Shoot. First up: Never Again Means Armed: A Holocaust Survivor’s Daughter Warns America

The Day the Nazis Took the Guns

Picture Berlin, 1933. A Jewish shopkeeper keeps a hunting rifle above his mantel. It’s legal. Registered. Symbolic of a father’s duty to protect his family.

Then one night, Hitler’s brownshirts—the SA—kick in his door. “Jews can’t be trusted,” they snarl, and rip the rifle from his hands. His permit? Worthless. His rights? Revoked. His home? No longer his sanctuary.

By 1935, the Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of citizenship—and their right to bear arms. In 1938, the German Weapons Act banned Jews from owning guns, ammunition, even ceremonial daggers. Just days after Kristallnacht, a Nazi decree demanded all remaining Jewish weapons be surrendered—or else.

The other part of Never Again is understanding what is happening. Yom HaShoah: Never Again Is Now

April 23rd was Holocaust Remembrance Day. Did America remember?

This year, remembrance comes with burning clarity. On October 7, 2023, we witnessed the unthinkable again. 1,200 Jews were massacred — in their homes, on the roads, at a music festival. Babies murdered. Families were burned alive. Women raped, mutilated, and paraded. Jews hunted again.

And once again, the world watched. And then blamed us.

They told us Never Again. But the moment it happened again, the world rushed to explain it away. To rationalize it. To soften the horror, because it was Jews.

After the SCOTUS ruling said that the Trump Administration can't deport terrorists and their supports, Jews were prevented from entering the campus at Yale University. So much for due process.
