“Oklahoma National Guard seized weapons from the inhabitants of one home. Those who were armed were handcuffed and briefly detained before being let go.”

this the only reference to “national guard” gun seizures in N.O. This is about the best timeline tracking of the issue: http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Orleans%20Gun%20Confiscations Again....this was under the manditory evacuation orders of a democrat mayor...that resulted in a documented lawsuit..and also resulted in a clearly worded state law... It was not a federal directive carried out with federal troops...

The only reference WHERE? in the WORLD?

I think not.

Others have already posted VIDEO right here on this thread of guard trops taking guns.

There is an article on Reason.com, as well as one in Guns and Ammo magazine from around that time which refer to Guard troops and/or Federal Marshals disarming law abiding citizens. Further, NRA was reporting at the time that Guard troops were seizing guns. Their own videos (also available on YouTube) mention it.

PS - You ORIGINALLY stated unequivocally that it was ONLY New Orleans police who were seizing guns. So, nice job trying to change the parameters of the discussion once you were proven wrong. I refer to "...It was not a federal directive carried out with federal troops."
