Give up your guns, become prey. It's a simple, two step process.

I hope my friend sees this article. I don't think she believed me when I told her they were taking people's guns. She is a big "Reason" reader, so she will likely see it there.

I can see taking guns and other weapons from those in the dome. Breaking in and taking them from owners in their own homes is another thing altogether.

[Paleo Conservative]

It's bad enough that they are doing this on the orders of the mayor. Imagine if there had been a hurricane in Texas and President Clinton had ordered the confiscation of all weapons? You wonder why we have the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878?

The NRA has a call into the La. Attorney General seeking clarification on what is going on.

There is no City of New Orleans government.

The BATF and IRS are the front runners in the gun confacation process

[Black Tooth]

"No one is allowed to be armed. We're going to take all the guns," says P. Edwin Compass III, the superintendent of police.

This SOB needs to leave this country.

How the heck can they get away with this?????

[RightOnline]

Who the F**K gave them permission to suspend the Constitution and confiscate registered, private-property firearms???

This is sll SUCH b.s.; akin to Abdul walking through the metal detectors at the airport unmolested while I get wanded and stip-searched.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It concerns me that there is more outrage over this, on DU, than we have managed to express, so far.
Don't we remember how to get really pissed off, these days?

[groanup]

What an effing outrage. This should be displayed for all to see. The people of LA are no longer in control of their own fate. They are in the hands of despots who neither understand what they are doing nor care what they are doing.

"We're the government and we're going to do this until somebody sues and the courts tell us we have to stop. And maybe not then."

Anyone who thinks this is only about guns had better start paying attention.
