Obama’s Gun Ban List Is Out

[ironsides]

They are doing their best to put an end to it though.....look at what happened after Katrina, they went around and took everyone's guns away. I think I would have had to quote Charleton Heston.."from my cold dead hand"

Good question. Wonder how many got their guns back?

How do you get out of bed in the morning when you believe everything that happens on the planet is part of the master grand conspiracy?

A brother's gotta eat.

A brother's gotta eat.

And eating leads to pooping.

That is a good question. I have only ever seen the reports on them being taken.

Seems N.O. police returned a few guns, but the majority remain lost in the bureaucracy. The 2nd Amendment rights of the people was suspended or ignored. (by who or what) Was it legal, another good question. What ever happened it was hushed and most likely will happen again. That is why there is no one pressing for immediate surrender of firearms at this moment. I do not believe for one moment the following quote.



Police Superintendent Warren Riley said police had legitimate reasons for confiscating weapons.
"We took guns that were stolen that were stashed in alleyways. If we went into an abandoned house and a gun was there, absolutely we took the weapons," he said. "Obviously there were looters out there. We didn't want some burglar or looter to have an opportunity to arm themselves.""

There are two people who are experts on "The Right To Bare Arms":

Larry the Cable Guy and Michelle Obama.

We are far better off having the right to bear arms than having the right to arm bears....

If the house was abandoned, the guns were, too, and therefore, the police didn't confiscate guns from anyone, they collected abandoned guns.

Abandoned on the street is one thing, entering private property and removing private property from within it is theft, Just because I am not home doesn't mean it is not private property. There are videos out there that show police and military actually disarming people that chose to stay and protect their property from the looters, vandals and thieves.

I think you missed the 'abandoned' part.

If the house was abandoned, it was abandoned. Not vacant, but abandoned. If you're not home for a night, the house isn't abandoned.

I have been 'not home' before for 6 months while travelling, my house still wasn't abandoned. Most of this took place in the first few days after the storm. People came home to gather belongings and their guns were gone.

Maybe a better use of the police and troops would have been to protect the neighborhoods from looters.

True enough, but they still have made it hard for the owners to reclaim the firearms.

Unfortunately, this is garbage. They entered occupied dwellings, stopped cars and boats, and seized weapons from citizens at gun point.

Absolutely outrageous.
