Because they could.

To begin with, that provision of the law was not then in force. It was passed in response to their confiscating the guns. Secondly, they are scofflaws, the Constitution of Louisiana already prohibited such action, but they did it anyway. They or some other local authorities will likely do it again, if they think they can get away with it.

You didn't see the Chocolate City Mayor or his lap dog police chief being perp walked into a court did you? No, so they got away with it,, they could care less about any civil suits which have been filed. The fines or restitution won't come out of their pockets. They still haven't returned most of the guns AFAIK.

Because the people that owned them didn’t have the guts to say NO. Hell NO. You aren’t taking my guns.
