Old news, but I hadn't actually seen it before...post-Katrina gun confiscation

[COEngineer]

I had heard of this, but seeing it makes it real (gun confiscation, illegal search/seizure)

[stevebeilgard]

it's true. the local police and guard went on a gun grab. the guns were mostly not given back.

[COEngineer]

Steve, I read up on it and you are right. The NRA etc were successful in court and the city was required to give the guns back, but most people had no way to prove that the guns were theirs (there houses were flooded and if they had records, they were gone after the flooding).

I sure am looking for a great gun grab. I hope that we will take us injoy .

"OH that cant happen here"!!!......Ya... RIGHT!

[COEngineer]

Matthews, that's exactly what I thought. I thought the NRA was exaggerating, but that video makes it very real. It made my skin crawl. How did those NG troops not stop and think, "I swore to uphold the Constitution, I can't kick people's doors in and steal their property." I am really disappointed.

NO..this was just "practice" for what is to come..
