I hope that New Orleans and LA get the HELL sued out of them!

A better solution would be for the US Attorney General to order the arrests of those issuing orders violating the civil rights of citizens.

After that arrests of Police Officers and National Guard troops who violated their oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

Trying to use the "I was just following orders" defense should be recognized and accepted as a guilty plea.

I am continuing to compile a list of FreeRepublic folks who are interested in RKBA topics. FReepmail me if you want to be added.

Conversely, if you want off my ping-list, let me know.

And my apologies for any redundant pings.

"I hadn't heard they were confiscating guns."

Man, they're kicking in doors on un-damaged houses and confiscating any firearms found in the homes. If there's someone there they give them 15 minutes to pack up. I don't know if they are doing a thorough search or just looking around. Personally, I think this is turning into a big land grab. As our glorious leader says "Freedom is on the march".

Noone cares - just us responding to this post. The fact is if a terrorist sets off a dirty bomb in your city, your enemy is the US Govt and the local boys in blue. They will seek to disarm YOU - "for your own safety and those around you" (read the government) Goodbye freedom. And who is the only one to benefit? Big govt types like lib Rats. Repubs wont have viable businesses, who needs a surgeon like Frist if there's no operating rooms except for other big govt types.

Unless a George Washington type comes forward, willing to step down even when he could be crowned king, when the Religion of Pieces strikes, its hello to another kind of america, on the level of Putin's Russia or worse.

The best bet if this happens is to pack up the weapons and head for the hills. Your home and property is going to be useless anyway.

What is happening is exactly what the "tin-foil-hat" folks have been honking about for years. The JBT's come to your door, kick it in, confiscate your weapons and drag you off to a camp. If you resist, well, all bets are off.

"So to end my own personal rant (I feel much better now), pick up the phone, call you're legistlators, call GOA and most importanly; make a big noise if you expect to be heard."

Good plan! I hope everyone follows it. If the government gets away with this now you know they'll be doing it for future "emergencies". Is there any situation that warrants taking guns away from law abiding citizens? No. Call/write your representatives and tell them that!

This is really disgusting. I am not sure who I can email about this and make some noise, but I will certainly put in some time doing so.

Large numbers of NOPD officers RAN from the street gangs, but in this case, they apparently found a few who were courageous enough to approach this dangerous woman and take her down.

Pathetic.

Once disarmed, the govt owns you.

So do the barbarians.

That's what he said. ;-)

Does anyone have an unedited video where the gun and how she's holding it is visible?

I can't think of a time when citizens need to be armed more than in a time of civil unrest, whether martial law is declared or not.

These bastards deserve to be left unarmed and on the street themselves to see what it feels like to be at the mercy of thugs in and out of uniform.

Right out of "The Turner Diaries" - the "gun recovery units"....

Whatever else one might say about Mr. Pierce's book, he was dead-on in that prediction....

Are you saying the tone of my post is unjustified?

I asked in a previous post on this subject if they were giving receipts and tagging guns they confiscated, My thoughts were in the same direction you took.

"... kicking in doors on un-damaged houses and confiscating any firearms found in the homes. If there's someone there they give them 15 minutes to pack up... Personally, I think this is turning into a big land grab."

1] As usual, the 'authorities' are running from armed bad guys and disarming those who have not threatened them.
2] I'll promise that there is no paper trail being built and when these weapons wind up being used on a liquor store in Cleveland some clueless bystander from LA will be getting a call from the cops.
3] Whatever legal action may be taken will have to be federal and federal law because louisiana follows civil law and not common (as used in 49 US states) and they'll pretend it is all quite legit.
4] Finally, it SHOULD be a land grab. The feds should declare all of NO permanently gone away and trade the citizens who owned land there a similar chunk of federal land anywhere else. (Lord knows the USG holds a whole bunch of land in a whole bunch of places - mostly not under water.)
