During the Mayhem of the Katrina disaster Mayor Ray Nagin asshole extraordinairre couldn't give the order to fire up the busses and evacuate people, BUT he did manage to give the order to have the New Orleans Police go door to door to round up law abiding citizens GUNS. That's right as Chaos, Death, and Looting was taken place he had the Police Round Up the Law Abiding Citizens Fire Arms. Police went door to door and SEIZED legally registered FireArms. Never mind the 2nd amendment, never mind thousands of criminals including some cops stealing everything that wasn't nailed down. This ASSHOLES priority was to seize LEGALLY owned guns that people possessed, with out warrants or just cause. In a time when the country is under threat of terrorism and fear that a man made or natural disaster can cause the collapse of Society around you. When they are telling you to keep a 30 day supply of food and water in your house because of the mayhem just like what happened in New Orleans and may I ad as others have, you better own a gun to protect yourself when the looting begins. Nagin and other Democrats like him are going to come and seize your weapons and leave your family to the mercy of the animals. Here is the related story about how even now after being ordered to return the weapons they haven't done it yet.
Mayor Nagin Continues to Snub the Second Amendment
Monday, April 10, 2006
Fairfax, VA Law-abiding citizens of New Orleans who were forced to relinquish their legally owned firearms to the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) will have to wait, indefinitely, to regain their property. The City of New Orleans revealed they have not returned any firearms, as Mayor Ray Nagin and the city have yet to set up a return process.
Mayor Ray Nagin continues to deny freedom by denying lawful citizens their Second Amendment rights, stated National Rifle Association (NRA) Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. First, he confiscates law-abiding citizens firearms and lies about it. Then, he fails to comply with court orders. Now he refuses to return the legally owned firearms to their rightful owners by dragging his feet. Its a disgrace.
After denying the illegal confiscation for months, on March 15, 2006, Mayor Nagin and the NOPD conceded in federal court that they do have seized guns stored in locked steel containers. The city then agreed in court to a process by which law-abiding citizens may file a claim to receive their confiscated firearms.
However, a New Orleans official handling the gun confiscations stated that no guns have been returned because the NOPD requires background checks, and the city has not set up a process. The official acknowledged, We've been told it was going to happen weeks ago and still hasn't been done.
Chris W. Cox, NRAs chief lobbyist, stated, During a time of chaos and lawlessness, Ray Nagin took away the only means of protection law-abiding citizens had, and by delaying necessary and appropriate action to right this wrong, he blatantly continues to disrespect New Orleans citizens. The Mayor's contempt of court, his contempt of the Second Amendment, and his disrespect of the law-abiding gun owners of New Orleans is shameful.
