A Decade Later, Remember New Orleans … Gun Confiscation Can (and Has) Happened in America
Friday, August 21, 2015
The disorder of the storm’s aftermath – and the inability of local law enforcement to contain it – brought into stark realization the importance of the right to keep and bear arms in order to provide for the defense of oneself, loved ones, and community. Stories of looting and violence abounded. A police chief described post-Katrina New Orleans by stating, "it was like Mogadishu.”
Despite their inability to cope with the resulting mayhem, several days after the storm passed New Orleans officials ordered the confiscation of lawfully-owned firearms from city residents. In a September 8, 2005 article, the New York Times described the scene, stating, “Local police officers began confiscating weapons from civilians in preparation for a forced evacuation of the last holdouts still living here… Police officers and federal law enforcement agents scoured the city carrying assault rifles seeking residents who have holed up to avoid forcible eviction.”
As reported by the Washington Post, New Orleans Superintendent P. Edwin Compass made clear, "No one will be able to be armed,” and, “Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns." At the time, NRA Executive Vice-President Wayne LaPierre noted the nature of the seizures, stating, "In many cases, it was from their homes at gunpoint. There were no receipts given or anything else at a time when there was no 911 response and these citizens were out there on their own protecting their families."

Re: Gun Confiscation In America
Recently I received an email about Rep Corker. I would suggest anyone interested about Gun Confiscation and the United Nations. I have no idea about or regarding the video maker but I did do the research on what was said and thus what she says is true. Here are a couple links regarding the Corker Bill.

That posting would have me concerned if it where not for one thing... the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land and no other laws, rules, treaties or back door deals can legally superseded it. This SHOULD BE obvious to anyone who ever finish American History in the 6th grade. If the US government tries it, there will be a revolt.
Kinda makes me wonder if our government would do use things like tanks, bombs and strafing runs on US citizens inside our own borders. They have already shown that the have no problems militarizing police to do the dirty ground work for them.

I don't know why I keep reminding a nice story: “You can take away our rights, but we still get to vote under Rule 308,”

All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party - Mao Tse Tung
