NEW ORLEANS — The National Rifle Association has hired private investigators to find hundreds of people whose firearms were seized by city police in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, according to court papers filed this week.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Those people need their guns, new orleans is becoming a real dirt bag of a city.
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
It only makes sense that gov’t would resort to kneejerk confiscation tactics at times they feel most vulnerable.
New Orleans became a "real dirt bag of a city" quite a number of years ago.
Guy on Guntalk was interviewed by Tom Gresham that wrote a book about the ‘Gun Grab’ in NO.
He said some imported cops from New York were itching to start killing to grab guns.
He also said the cops would just throw away the ‘junkers’ in the river and keep the ‘good’ ones for themselves. Doubt the people will ever get them back.
