The city was sued for violating the citizens’ rights. Nagin ordered teh chief of police to lie about the confiscations and lie about them being in the possession of the city.
Eventually SOME of the owners got their guns back but some still have not claimed their firearms.
Correct. However, between the confiscation and conclusion of the lawsuit, unarmed people lose their ability to protect property, and thereby lose that property to someone who cares nothing about legal means of protection. The question remains, is there any limitation on the President to create laws at a whim to confiscate firearms and permanently deny their return? Alot can happen between the illegal confiscation and the court ruling... alot of loss. Loss I would not willingly allow.
