More 2nd Amendment violations planned in NOLA - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Police chief boldly says in an interview that if there's another natural disaster in New Orleans, they will seize legally-owned and registered firearms once again, as they did after Hurricane Katrina, in spite of the fact that their doing so is HIGHLY illegal and unconstitutional!!!!!

Gun owners and 2nd Amendment supporters: The time to get ANGRY about this crap is long overdue!

The 2nd Amendment does NOT say "...the right to bear arms... unless there is a hurricane".

You guys who live down there, it's time to start writing letters and making phone calls! Show up at his office! Let them know in no uncertain terms that you do NOT approve of such blatant, callous disregard for your constitutional rights.

Registered firearms?

Isn't one of the anti-gun arguments that registration wont lead to seizure?

I think the 'answer' is for everyone in the area to report their guns as stolen to the police. "You came for my gun? What gun? I reported that thing stolen *ages* ago."

What is a name for a government that repeatedly takes our constitutionally guaranteed rights away in the name of “protecting” us?

I believe that would be a 'dictatorship', Tracy. If you're a conservative you may also know it as a 'nanny state'.

The Constitution does not give you the right to own a firearm.

Haven't we been here before?

Not a bad idea.

Actually, the word "registered" did not appear in that particular article, I inadvertently added that. The article merely said "legally owned".

But while we're on that subject: I have no objection to background checks or to minimal documentation ("registration", if you will) of firearm ownership. There are pros and cons to firearm registration, but I think the pros tend to outweigh the cons.

Its them frikkin cops! i thought they were only here to collect taxes. Funny, it seems history is repeating itself, anyone want to join me in colonizing a new land mass, and warring with the US? It might last 200 years or so.

So no one is bothered by this harassment tactic perpetrated on a perfectly LEGAL American businessman?

A good friend of mine has ordered lot of stuff from this KT Ordnance guy, and is on a first-name basis with him, and they talk frequently. The guy's employees say that Canadian officers were also present at the raid. Why are there foreign officers present at all? They should have no jurisdiction, nor should they even BE there.

This story continues to smell fishier and fishier as it develops. Of course you'll hear NOTHING of it in the mainstream media.

I think my friend ordered something from them a few months ago. Not surprising, pretty soon the man is going to control every aspect of our lives, I suppose first step is neutralizing the resistance as much as possible, teach the public that to "bear" arms is misinterpreted, doesnt mean own or keep or carry, its something else.
