Think you have rights? Think again. This post may qualify as Vanity. If so, I am sorry. I am not a vanity poster. All should see this video from Glen Beck's CNN show from 7/2

Glenn not Glen.

I heard about this. How can the police there justify their actions? This only helps criminals because it disarms the average citizen.

[Resolute Conservative]

They have to find mine to seize them.

There were several of these videos I saw.

This is a lesson for those who are caught in a similar future situation.

[Free Descendant]

Wow. Amazing and scary. Does the recent 2nd amendment ruling affect any of this?

Let this be a lesson. If you are in the Right, especially in a situation like NOLA post Katrina, never surrender your arms.

Period.

No matter the cost...

This made me madder than just about anything I’ve ever seen. I’d have to shoot a cop who was acting like that.

Contrary to the hyperbolic rhetoric from the gun-grabbers, these images document that lawful firearms owners are lawful- that they respect government so much they do not use their weapons to resist unlawful seizure when done under the color of law.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is deplorable.

[Dr.Deth]

They were seizing stuff from Wal-Mart too. Come on, it’s New Orleans. They’re all victims, they can’t help it.

When liberals get badges, tonight at 8.

Criminals with a badge - just a bunch of bandits following illegal orders, akin to a gang or junta. Does anyone know if they used firearm registration lists to target the searches? And no wonder looters ran the city - the government thugs went around disarming everyone with a fixed address, everyone with their own property to protect. Then some of the sons of bitches deserted, leaving law-abiding citizens 100% defenseless!

I mean, damn, I read that this sort of thing had happened at the time, but I was of the impression the seizures were sporadic abuses, and not an official systematic government policy of terror. So excuse me for a second while I ponder, on this day celebrating American independence from tyrannical abuses, the threat our own government poses to us, and contrast that against the trust we endow our government with, especially as related to the provision of security against supposedly the most mortal of threats. Always bear in mind that, in the sum of history, orders of magnitude more people have been killed by their own erstwhile benevolent governments than by external foes. The shift from a relatively free society to a totalitarian one can occur in a single day.

I sincerely fear the government more than any foreign enemy, and this arbitrary disarming of law-abiding citizens underscores why.
