ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP

JPFO ALERT: If You Don't Like the Truth, Don't Read This Alert!
"Police Begin Seizing Guns of Civilians - Local police officers began confiscating weapons from civilians in preparation for a forced evacuation of the last holdouts..."
It sounds like a headline from _Unintended Consequences_. But it's happening now -- today -- in New Orleans. Law enforcement officials are confiscating the legally-owned firearms from law-abiding citizens without due process, without warrants, and without cause, leaving their owners utterly defenseleses and at the mercy of looters and thugs.
According to an article in the New York Times (http://tinyurl.com/9ot44), the police superintendent P. Edwin Compass III decreed that no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry firearms of any kind, even if they possess permits to do so. "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons," he said.
(Well, not quite. The New Orleans police department will not be confiscating the weapons of private security personnel, guaranteeing that only those wealthy enough to afford a private bodyguard can be assured of protection).
Second Amendment advocates have long warned that such confiscations would undoubtedly occur in the event of major catastrophe. That they were right is not a surprise. Sadly, neither is the fact that few gun owners have resisted the confiscations.
Over the years, Americans have become increasingly ignorant about what rights they really have. Inalienable, individual rights have given way to "junk rights" -- privileges to be granted or withheld at the whim of the government. So if the government demands that they give up their guns, it's only natural that they should comply. The police officers and soldiers who are confiscating the firearms are either equally ignorant about citizens' rights ... or _simply don't care_ about following unConstitutional orders.
We've stated repeatedly that we must restore a Bill of Rights culture in this country. Until the populace knows all of its rights _and insist those rights be respected_ , the "brown-shirting" now in New Orleans will only get worse.
In just a few weeks, JPFO will release its latest documentary, "Bill of Rights or BUST!" This efficient, effective tool can quickly and easily help people understand their rights, and points out how our government is stealing those rights away. The introductory price for this high-quality video is only $19.95 postpaid, a $5 savings!. You can pre-order "Bill of Rights or Bust!" today by visiting www.jpfo.org/videostore.htm#borob.
We MUST educate our fellow citizens about the Bill of Rights, or what's happening in New Orleans today probably will happen in your town tomorrow.
Wanna bet the brownshirts aren't lusting to do it?

Yep. Your definitely programmed. Amazingly so, given the thichness of your cranium.
And here I thought you were done with me with the previous 'have a nice life' comment. I guess you're easily programmed, too - can't resist getting the last word in, even if it's to make yourself look even worse.
BTW, no one agrees with you. How does that make you feel? Even more defense and wanting to lash out?
As for the rest of your ill conceived screed, give it a rest. You are dead wrong. The "militia" is not just the National Guard, the provision in the Second for the "militia" is a reason for why RKBA should not be infringed and not a qualifier for protection, ect...
Also, the current National Guard is technically part of the Standing Army and not the State's Militia organized or otherwise. They may have been at one point in time, but haven't been for a while now. See their website for confirmation of this.
You may want to go back to grammar school and talk to the ACLU.
OTOH, become an NRA member, subscribe to American Rifleman, and talk to some current or retired military folks around here. OTOH, the third option is to ... call Hanoi Jane, John Kerry, and hide under the table. IMOHO.
No criticism intended.
Excellent reply. I responded to this HGI-type from a slightly different angle.
Speaking as an American: Don't you EVER show up at MY house and tell ME to surrender MY weapons you foul mouthed a**hole troll. There will be consequences.What part of the 2'nd amendment do you not understand? I AM THE MILITIA!!!
Right, The only people that agree with me are the people seizing werapons in NO, the Uh, listen, militia.
I invite them. That's all I have to say.
It's quacking "Shoot it now! Shoot it now!"
Right everyone knows I'm wrong but in NO everyone knows I'm right because apparently the script I write is being followed to the letter. I guess we can call it form over substance A-hole.
God forbid I ever have the occassion to be subjected to your criticism :)
The NG you claim to be the militia wasn't created till the 1930's, our Constitution was ratified a few years earlier.
You could actually learn tons from some of the intelligent people here like flashbunny instead of being a loud foul mouthed idiot.
Get some knowledge of a subject before you start b**ching.
LOL! Thanks for the compliments. You'll have to do better than that hflynn. BTW, the Chinese are looking for folks like you.
Knock off the personal attacks. If you can't argue your position without exhibiting trollish behavior, then the Mods can address the issue.
Watch your language.
