NRA: The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina



Uploaded by: NRAVideos
Video Description:
The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.
The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second Amendment means. You've seen this brand of abuse of freedom in the histor
y books—in the pages about days of gun confiscations leading to the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you'd never in a million years think it could happen in America. Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take action today. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintend
ent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words: "No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns." Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or
receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them. With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you! Now, one year later, these crimes against gun owners have snowballed into a far greater threat to our freedoms. Even though NRA secur
ed a court order demanding their immediate and unconditional return, almost every single confiscated firearm remains locked in government trailers. With the stroke of a pen, Mayor Nagin and Police Superintendent Compass are getting away with "murder"—a savaging of the second, fourth and fourteent
h amendments of our Constitution. And they have put America on notice that they're going to keep seizing lawfully owned guns under any pretense. New Orleans gun owners are showing up at these trailers, with serial numbers of their firearms, expecting Mayor Nagin and his band of anti-gunners to resp
ect the Federal courts. They are met by stony-eyed bureaucrats who say serial numbers aren't enough—and that gun owners now need PROOF OF PURCHASE of these firearms. How many of those gun owners do you think had original receipts for those firearms? And even if they did, how many do you think coul
d find those receipts in the wreckage of a hurricane? Many of these firearms were passed down from father to son, generation to generation. Some are precious heirlooms. Some are collector's pieces won in our wars. And they were all lawfully owned and they must be returned to their owners. With your
help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you! https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/donate.asp?CampaignID=neveragain

The freedom we all ... ( 6 months ago by sanmiguelito64)
The freedom we all enjoy today(or what's left of it)is directly linked to the founding father's implementation of the 2nd amendment.The Republic came into existence because the British wanted to confiscate the guns.The 2nd amendment is about the citizens protecting itself from tyrannical government. The U.S is the biggest armed camp in the world and the elite can't wait to change that.

Boy I'll tell yah; this government thinks they're the Lord God Almighty and the police think they're the divine angels; absolute power my fanny!
it's not the fact ... ( 6 months ago by camaroz28fatbuttgabe)
it's not the fact that we own guns that gives America the highest gun related death rate. i don't personally know why so many Americans die by guns every year but if we all practice safe and responsible gun ownership and use, there'd be a whole lot less gun related deaths in the entire world, not just America. just watch the movie "Babel" and you'll see what i mean.
This poor lady... ... ( 6 months ago by hovanti)
This poor lady...the local police were real bullies. So, after a natural disaster, the 2nd Amendment is repealed? I think not.
This is just a ... ( 6 months ago by statixman1)
This is just a taste of what will happen when the shit realy hits the fan. This government will turn on us in an instant and it doens't matter if U are the safest person with a gun or not, you won't be able to have on for fear of fighting back. Sickening that this was allowed to happen. They violated everyones rights.
What kills people ... ( 6 months ago by Alexandra22773)
What kills people is laws restricting gun ownership. The cities that are the most restrictive about guns have the highest crime rate--like DC.
Now Switzerland--EVERYONE owns a gun (just about) and the crime rate is extremely low. Gun laws don't matter to criminals.
yes and grenade ... ( 5 months ago by SAYYOURROSARY)
yes and grenade throwers and anti tank weapons , everything we need in case we need them, when the 2nd ammendment was written they had no tanks, Americans need to wake up Ron Paul 2012

You Christians are the only reason why school shootings happen. (Well the media promising 15 minutes of shame doesnt help ither.)
Pal you're not even ... ( 5 months ago by Leavon)
Pal you're not even an American citizen, do you even wonder why your government doesn't give a rip about your individual rights? Its because you don't have the perceived ability to force a change in the event they stop representing you and become a self serving entity. Oh wait too late, for your country I guess.
yes ! who is this ... ( 5 months ago by zigzagjim)
yes ! who is this goverment affraid! if they don't wrong the people then they should have no fear of them right!
these were not ... ( 5 months ago by Eisenmond)
these were not local police. They were police forces brought in from California to assist in securing the area... No wonder they had no sense of the constitution!
This is a perfectly good example of why you always harness a weapon on your hip... if they try and take your weapons, let them know that if they attempt to cease your property without a warrant, that they had better be prepared to kill you! That wont look too pretty on the 6 o'clock news! Fight
back! Defend yourselves!
It's events like ... ( 5 months ago by JarG0n)
It's events like the Katrina gun confiscation that gives government a bad name. This is clearly an act of tyranny. The policemen that voluntarily participated in confiscating guns from law abiding citizens are no better than Hitlers jack booted thugs.

Was there any legal action taken against the government for this?
Also, Black Water ... ( 5 months ago by thecoolconejoman)
Also, Black Water was hired to patrol the streets. Now thats a scary thing, since they are free to do anything they want with no legal ties.
this is terrible ... ( 5 months ago by paintcan125)
this is terrible that these law biding people have there rights to own a gun taken away. the old saying is (if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have them) how sad. protect your rights
Thanks to the N.R.A ... ( 5 months ago by whitepatriot1)
Thanks to the N.R.A. this will never happen again! We got legislation passed in almost all the states now that forbid the government to disarm law abiding citizens in the case of a national emergency ever again! "From my cold dead hands"! Ray Nagin is the protector of criminals! No wonder his people all voted for him again!
Join the NRA if you ... ( 5 months ago by ar15viper)
Join the NRA if you want to help keep things like this from happening. I'm not trying to spam or anything. How could something like this happen in a great country like this? The New Orleans Police should be in some trouble.

Most Americans are unaware that the first gun control laws in this country were put in place to stop black people from owning guns. From that grave injustice we now have tons of evil unjust gun control laws.
do my rights ... ( 3 months ago by mjakubas)
do my rights include: having a gun,smoking some pot,aborting a pregnancy and marrying a gay dude. i think they do. i would like to see the nra join with norml, pro-abortion, pro marrying gay dudes and all groups that support indivdual rights. the fed has played a game of divide and conquer and they have fooled the american public. lets just continue to fight amongst ourselves.
good luck to anybody that stands up for individual rights. our causes will remain in stalemate till we join.
