Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Cross post from Gun Control Reform Activism. [View all]Big_Mike
(509 posts)where Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin ordered firearm confiscation. The video of the officers stealing the firearm of an elderly woman who was high and dry with plenty of water and food, while aired by Fox, was shown nationwide. When property is taken, particularly with no receipt by officials, that is classified as theft. To my everlasting horror, these two Democrats issued orders in direct violation of the 2nd, 4th, and 14th Amendments. We are the party of laws, not police state thuggery. Oh, and note that when an injunction objecting to the seizure of weapons was made in Federal district court, the City of New Orleans, in its response, stated that no weapons were seized, nor were any held, even though vidoe was shown nationwide of the Chief of Police stating that only police could have firearms and over 1100 weapons were videoed held in a repository. Nope, gun control proponents were totally and perfectly honest about this issue. Of course, these statements were made by politicians and their subordinates, and a politician would NEVER EVER lie or misconstrue the truth now (cough Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al).
So pardon my absolute conviction that registration lists would never be used for confiscation as much a fairy tale as Aesop's fable, only with less truth involved in the fables.
