This ought to have you pissing mad....
I blogged about this issue several months ago where the "authorities' confiscated weapons from EVERYONE in the city of new Orleans. Supposedly to protect them...yeah right.
from yahoonews
NEW ORLEANS - City officials have agreed to return hundreds of firearms that police officers confiscated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, part of a deal to resolve a lawsuit filed by gun lobbying groups.
This is the statement that set me off:
In their lawsuit, the gun lobbying groups accused the city of violating gun owners' constitutional right to bear arms and leaving them "at the mercy of roving gangs, home invaders, and other criminals" after Katrina.
In response, the city argued that federal law doesn't apply to the plaintiffs' claims against city officials "because the right to keep and bear arms has never been recognized as a fundamental individual right."
Apparently the laws, our inalienable rights don't pertain to New orleans...
die with your boots on....
