November 9 marks the 81st anniversary of the first day of Kristallnacht, also known as the "night of broken glass." For nearly a week, the Nazi Sturmabteilung paramilitary forces carried out a pogrom against Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues and properties across Germany and related territories; 267 synagogues and 7,000 businesses were damaged or destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were incarcerated in concentration camps.
There was another sinister motive equal to the anti-Semitism: gun control.
What many don't know is, weeks before, the Nazis had disarmed the Jews whom they terrorized; they knew who had firearms because of a compulsory, pre-Nazi gun registry created a decade earlier. The Nazis were so precise that businesses adjacent to Jewish-owned businesses were untouched; we suspect that many non-Jews wanted to help, but they knew that assisting would likely mean death or imprisonment.
After Kristallnacht, what did Hitler say was the justification? Confiscation of illegally owned guns, in response to the assassination of Nazi diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old German-born Polish Jew living in Paris.
In his 1971 book Rules for Radicals, Chicago community organizer and Obama and Clinton hero Saul Alinsky coined the phrase "the issue is never the issue."

Get ready Virginia! Your the first state to see the DNC gestapo in action
It way Joy Behar. DemocRats ALWAYS lie about their true intentions.
Stalin/hitler, both loved gun confiscation. Except for their thugs.
We will only be catching up to the communist states, CA, MA, MD, HI, IL, CT, NY that already violate the 2nd Amendment.
There’s going to a lot of tragic boating accidents.
You oppose ‘Gun Control’ because every ‘Gun Control’ law is an Illegal law under our Constitution!
The Constitution is Not about the “Rights” of the people!
The Constitution is about the Limiting Government!
Ask yourself: If a government turns tyrannical and also “controls” the people’s Gun Rights ...
(You get the (point?)
btw: My post isn’t directed to you personally, it is meant to be informative to others.
There is no gun registration in Illinois. Owners, yes, with the FOID.

That’s a registry.
That name does not cross my keyboard.
Butt, having an FOID does not indicate actual ownership right? It only indicates you have an FOID.
That is correct.

“We will only be catching up to the communist states, CA, MA, MD, HI, IL, CT, NY that already violate the 2nd Amendment.”
(You left out NJ & WA) All those states already have a close to 90% noncompliance rate with their `mandatory semi-auto registration’ laws, so a mostly Southern state like Virginia is hardly likely to do better.
Unless its blackface governor sends out his flying monkeys to start kicking in doors. When that happens, the watchword will be,
“The next door you kick in may be your last. Be sure to say goodbye to your family every morning before you report for duty.”
Sort of like having a CCW. Maybe you borrowed/rented the equipment you qualified with and don’t really OWN a gun. I know that must be true in my case. :-)
Not sure what the author was trying to say there, but I don't believe automatic firearms were in common use in 1791. Citizens owned military arms (including artillery), but even repeating firearms were a rarity at that time. (Which is not to suggest that I oppose the ownership of automatic weapons by law-abiding American citizens... ;^)
