Did armed active duty troops respond to Hurricane Katrina...

While active duty troops did respond to Katrina, they weren't sent in to disarm the people. All of the reports that I've seen indicate that the gun confiscation was carried out by the New Orleans PD, possibly with the assistance of parish sheriffs.

The black thugs with guns were taking advantage of the situation assisted by a moron by the name of Ray Nagan. Guns were taken. Katrina was an example of Kathleen Blanco’s ignorancd and ego not to except federal help offered many times by GWB. Louisiana was a catastrophe not only by Katrina,but also by its democratic governor. Kathleen Blanco has thousands of needless deaths under her watch.

CA Highway Patrol and the National Guard participated, along with the DEA.

And by Police and sherrifs from other jurisdictions. The little old lady who was body slamed when she showed an ancient revolver (probably a .32) was dealing with California Highway Patrol officers.
