I saw video of this and thought "WHAT!?"
The residents that were getting their guns confiscated were trying to protect their home from looting. What were they to do after the feds took their guns? Thank God for floor safes
Was martial law declared? That's the only way I think they could try to pull this off.

I think I would have been like Charleton Heston and told them that in they wanted to take my gun, they'd have to do it "out of my cold, dead hands."
Major Victory For Firearms Owners And Freedom In Louisiana
Friday, September 23, 2005
(Fairfax, VA) -- The United States District Court for the Eastern District in Louisiana today sided with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and issued a restraining order to bar further gun confiscations from peaceable and law-abiding victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
“This is a significant victory for freedom and for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The court’s ruling is instant relief for the victims who now have an effective means of defending themselves from the robbers and rapists that seek to further exploit the remnants of their shattered lives,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.
Joining LaPierre in hailing the U.S. District Court decision was NRA chief lobbyist Chris W. Cox. “This is an important victory. But the battle is not over. The NRA will remedy state emergency statutes in all 50 states, if needed, to ensure that this injustice does not happen again."
The controversy erupted when The New York Times reported, the New Orleans superintendent of police directed that no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to have guns and that “only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons.” ABC News quoted New Orleans’ deputy police chief, saying, “No one will be able to be armed. We are going to take all the weapons.”
The NRA also pledged that it will continue its work to ensure that every single firearm arbitrarily and unlawfully seized under this directive is returned to the rightful law-abiding owner.

I hope firearms owners that are not members of the NRA can see the value of the NRA. Consider our freedoms without it. Please join. 80 million firearms owners, only 5-6 million NRA members. A few people are doing the heavy lifting for many to enjoy.
The major animal rights orginizations are consolitating their money and power into a formidable foe of hunting. The NRA is in that fight also. There will be a ppv debate between the NRA's Wayne LaPierre and PETA's Andrew Butler on Oct. 18 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. It will be on InDemand Pay-Per-View.
Please take the time to look around in: www.nra.org, there are several things going on around the country both good and bad for hunters and firearms owners.
