NRA: The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina

NRA: The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina

Monday May 28, 2007

The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.

The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to tyrannyâ??where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second Amendment means.

You've seen this brand of abuse of freedom in the history booksâ??in the pages about days of gun confiscations leading to the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you'd never in a million years think it could happen in America.

Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take action today.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:
"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."

Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them.

With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!

Now, one year later, these crimes against gun owners have snowballed into a far greater threat to our freedoms.

Even though NRA secured a court order demanding their immediate and unconditional return, almost every single confiscated firearm remains locked in government trailers.

With the stroke of a pen, Mayor Nagin and Police Superintendent Compass are getting away with "murder"â??a savaging of the second, fourth and fourteenth amendments of our Constitution. And they have put America on notice that they're going to keep seizing lawfully owned guns under any pretense.

New Orleans gun owners are showing up at these trailers, with serial numbers of their firearms, expecting Mayor Nagin and his band of anti-gunners to respect the Federal courts.

They are met by stony-eyed bureaucrats who say serial numbers aren't enoughâ??and that gun owners now need PROOF OF PURCHASE of these firearms.

How many of those gun owners do you think had original receipts for those firearms? And even if they did, how many do you think could find those receipts in the wreckage of a hurricane?

Many of these firearms were passed down from father to son, generation to generation. Some are precious heirlooms. Some are collector's pieces won in our wars. And they were all lawfully owned and they must be returned to their owners.

With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!

There comes a time went armed revolt is neccesary. When the ones upholding the law are abusing the law and not allowing individuals to protect themselves and there own peoperty I would think would be time.

this and many other reaons is why nagin is not liked in the state.

under mayor nagin the distract attornys office went broke, unable to pay its employees. there was a moment whenn there was no DA in n.o. also dont even get me started on the corruption here in this state

Corruption is nothing new to Louisiana and particularly New Orleans. It just got worse when Katrina hit and left people really vulnerable. Its not easy trying to hang on to your civil rights sometimes.

guys you're way off base, I mean you're acting like the constitution still matters in this country...

What a disgrace to what america stands for. That just infuriated me beyond belief. So when these political basturds get a wedgy they just throw down what they feel like for law. Disaster or no disaster, you cant suspend peoples rights if they did nothing wrong. Fuckin nazi pigs. Theres no way in hell theyd get away with that in wisconsin. Theyd need a fuckin army. With the new election coming up and the ever changing firearm laws its always got me wondering when im not going to be able to even go deer hunting with a semiautomatic gun anymore. Ill barry my shit If I have to. FASCIST PIGS.

wisconsin?!! man these rednecks in LA make those up north look like urban cowboys. hell they closed down half of the town i lived in when bass pro shop opened. like 30000 people showed up just for the grand gala. every one here owns gus theres more guns here than i hollywood. they spend every moment the aint workin or sleepin huntin (if yawant to call what they do huntin) an fishin and when they aint doin theyre thinkin about it. the only thing they take more serious is LSU football. wich by the way im origanally from OHIGHO so you can imagine the greif i got when they beat OSU in the bcs. still buckeyes forever baby.
