Welcome to Shreveport: Your Rights Are Now Suspended
National Association for Gun Rights ^ | 06/13/2012 | Dudley Brown

Posted on 06/13/2012 9:04:03 PM PDT by epow

Recently, the National Association for Gun Rights was the first to break the incredible story of the suspension of a man's Second Amendment rights in Shreveport, Louisiana.

At the time, no other gun rights organization bothered to expose this violation of Second Amendment freedoms. But when we tracked down the victim, Robert Baillio, for an interview, we couldn't believe what we heard, and we immediately sent out a nationwide alert.

The story went viral overnight.

If this tale of government abuse moves you, send it to a friend or family member to get the word out.

Welcome to Shreveport: Your rights are now suspended According to Cedric Glover, Mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, his cops "have a power that the President of these United States does not have."

Mayor Glover claimed his police officers had the power to take away certain rights.

And would you like to guess which rights he had in mind?

Just ask Shreveport resident Robert Baillio, who was pulled over for having two pro-gun bumper stickers on the back of his truck -- and had his gun confiscated.

While the officer who pulled him over says Baillio failed to use his turn signal, the only questions he had for Baillio concerned guns: Whether he had a gun, where the gun was and if he was a member of a pro-gun organization.

La., like many Southern States, used to be blue. It is now very red. The republicans control the house,senate and the Governors Mansion. We like our guns and our laws are very relaxed. There is even a bill in the assembly now that would make it legal for anyone who can legally own a gun able to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. We will see if it passes.

“Do an image search of Cedric Glover, Mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana”

Yes, the acronyms “Fat Bastard” and “One of Holder’s People” seem appropriate.

It won’t happen again. The assembly passed and Governor Blanco signed a law guaranteeing our second amendment right, even during a disaster. The NRA was instrumental in getting it passed.

Thanks tor that link. If the action being taken by the NRA in re this LA outrage is an indication of a change in the NRA’s attitude toward liberalizing GA’sgun laws that it showed during the recent effort to make GA gun laws more favorable to law abiding gun owners I may have to restore my membership in the NRA. I let it lapse a couple of years ago after a NRA lobbyist joined hands with the Assembly's anti-gun Democrats who were trying to defeat a portion of a bill that after passage into law has been very beneficial to GA gun owners and gun carriers. Hopefully the NRA is now at least attempting to put the interests of it's members above whatever caused it to lobby against the desires of it's GA members and GA’s gun owners in general.

Is this guy a pro-gun group of one? All I’ve ever heard from the guy is emails asking for money.

Who is he?

What/who is his organization?

Should add that our Purple in 2008 state Red governor has done well by us and we will deliver a conservative to the Senate in 2012.

All you need to know about NAGR.

Thanks for the wakeup call. I thought I was smelling the proverbial rat in that unsolicited email, now I'm pretty darn sure that I am. Sorry NAGR, your scam didn't work.

Any person or org that solicit's money on false pretenses should be held accountable somehow. The money needed to counteract the propaganda being spewed daily by the radically anti-gun rights media is too hard to raise for us to allow ourselves to be scammed by a false prophet crying wolf. Which is what the NAGR appears to be.

We'll get to vote on it, if the bill isn't bastardized, it'll pass in a landslide.

I think you hit on the right answer, the Shreveport demographics I copied from Wickipedia show why it's a blue city with a leftist anti-gun mayor who has been elected twice by a substantial majority.

As of the 2010 census the population of Shreveport was 218,021. The racial and ethnic composition of the population was 41.2% white, 54.7% black or African American, 0.4% Native American, 1.3% Asian, 0.9% from some other race and 1.5% from two or more races. 2.5% of the population was Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Hopefully the LA legislature will soon enact legislation to restore the 2nd A rights of Shreveport's citizens of all skin colors.
