Congratulations Matt, I hope you sell a million....
I hope at LEAST several million right thinking Americans READ your book, and head immediately to their neighborhood gun store...

It was an ARMED militia of freedom loving Americans that founded this country and gave us the Republic that MUST be preserved and defended...


Arm thyself Neighbor -- the enemy is already amongst us..

Makes you wonder what the heck that police chief was thinking in his little pea brain that he even had the authority to do "at whim" confiscation of an ENUMERATED individual right. (strict scrutiny and all that)

I am very grateful the NRA jumped into this with a court case, HOWEVER this was shooting fish in a barrel. Not much difficulty.

I hope they DO parlay this into an ACTIVE and AGRESSIVE public education campaign. They should also work WITH police to help the citizens organize for such future law and order emergencies. (perhaps a few less police cars will be looted)

I recently resubscribed to several gun magazines after around 20 years absence.

I noticed the write up in the last issue of "Guns". Are you sure that guy isn't kin to you? A really good review.

[janetgreen]

the New Orleans superintendent of police directed that no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to have guns and that “only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons.

Adolph Hitler in another time...

He not only robbed the citizens, he deprived them of their civil rights, which brings up an entire other set of criminal charges.

NRA needs to stay on this, spread the news to each and every risk manager and state attorney general, local polidiots and LEO's as to how HIGH they hang Nagin, Blanco's and Compass's butts for disarming folks in such a manner.

Exactly! Let it serve as a lesson for mayors and sheriffs everywhere. This $#!+ won't fly!

[Travis McGee]

Yep, that would be nice!

I have only seen an electronic copy of the GUNS review sent to me by David Codrea, the GUNS writer. The November GUNS wasn't on the shelf of my local store yet, for some reason. Are you talking about the November GUNS? How's it look?

I'd urge anyone who was so robbed to call in the FBI:

I cannot argue against what you say. The sheriff really screwed the pooch on this one. I also cannot see how any intrepretation other than an individual right to own firearms was upheld in the Court's decision. Will this decision now be appealed to a higher court?

[in the Arena]

Good on you...

[TLI]

Any cop that would enforce an order like this deserves to be shot, though one suspects that most cops are too career-oriented to refuse anything, even if it's blatantly unconstitutional.

Da man hizself, Mr. Edwin Compass.

And therein lies the foundation of their ability to violate the constitution. If the LEO's FIRMLY BELIEVED that they would not be going home that day if they violated such a fundamental aspect of this nations constitution, those very same LEO's would have laughed New Orleans Police Superintendent Mr. Edwin Compass right out of the briefing room.

Will it ever come to that? We are on the slope and the "god syndrome" is more and more prevalent among LEO's. Given the constant propaganda of "cop shows" and LEO's that have literally grown up watching them, I would say that at some juncture a "point will need to be made."

Woohoo! Chalk up another victory for the Constitution.

Anybody else notice that the White House did NOT initiate, lead or even take part in this fight for liberty?

Bush still hasn't even indicated opposition to the Keno decision in favor of government theft.

YeeHaw! A rare win for the Constitution of the United States!

Yes, it is the November issue. I have it right beside me now. I think I have had it for a couple of weeks.

When I let my subscriptions expire, I thought Guns & Ammo was the premier gun magazine. Since resubscribing, I thing G&A has gone down a bit, and Shooting Times quite a lot. Guns on the other hand is as good or better than I remember. There is a picture of the Para Ordinance "Colonel" .45 auto on the cover.

Also a test of the Argentine Browning HP. I enjoyed it as I have owned maybe a dozen Brownings in my life and think the Argentine ones are real sleepers. They may not have the Belgian guns finish but in my experience they are even more reliable, if that is possible.

[Travis McGee]

Yep, and I hope they are charged too!

Sure did notice that, and we're still waiting...

[Travis McGee]

The comparison between G&A and GUNS today tells a lot about the current state of the magazine industry. G&A has tremendous market penetration on way more news stands, and pumps out a huge number of monthly copies, most of which are returned and pulped. These numbers are used to pump up their circulation numbers, and ad rates. GUNS is just as good of a magazine today, but without the hyped circulation numbers, and charges much less for ad space.
