The stories of confiscation mentioned in the article are on video at a NRAILA web page. If clicking the link under the title doesn't take you to the video article try entering this url. http://www.givethemback.com/

Once there, the page will open with Lapierre telling about the gun confiscations in NO. Click on the tabs at the left sidebar to see and hear the victims describe how they were mistreated and their were guns stolen by the NO authorities without any court approved authority to do so.

Note to Moderator; If linking to a article on video as I am attempting to do is not allowed please pull the thread.

Speaking of the NRA are they active in this election. Seems like they should be. It just seems that I see less NRA stuff on FR and other forums-like news releases endorsements etc

This site makes it clear why gun owners can never, ever sit on the sidelines during an election

Are you a gun owner who is thinking about sitting out this election because you're disappointed and angry with the Republicans representing you in Congress or the Senate? Please don't, that's exactly what gun grabbing would-be tryants such as Schumer and Feinstein want you to do. If they ever get their way the Katrina gun confiscation outrage in N.O. will be re-enacted nationwide.

I know many of you are like me, very disappointed and angry about the way the illegal immigration issue is being handled, or more accurately NOT handled, by Bush and Congress. But that isn't justification for allowing a radical Democratic majority to take control of Congress and block confirmation of another originalist Supreme Court nominee who is likely to be appointed in the next two years.

At the very least, a large number of lower federal court judges will be nominated in the next two years, and if the radical Democrats hold the Senate majority every pro-2nd amendment originalist nominee will be dead on arrival at the Senate Judiciary committee.

It is a real problem with people that seek power over others, the first thing they want to do is to render those, they wish to subjugate, totally powerless and defenseless.

Evidently, the democrat party leadership has decided to render the people defenseless, so the party leadership can inflict their version of socialism.

It has happened in the past (in this country). The Ku Klux Klan set about to pass 'Jim Crow' against the ownership of firearms by African Americans. The motivation does appear to be, the KKK wanted to be sure the Blacks were defenseless, when the KKK came to burn them out.

I still see some groups advocating disarming this or that minority group. Again, judging from their rhetoric, the motivation is to render the minority group defenseless.

The effect of not voting is exactly the same as voting for the candidate who wins. You get the government you vote for. If anyone can vote, but who doesn't, IMO, they give up their right to complain.

I think I understand the other side on this one, they read the constitution this way:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state some kind of historical curiosity, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

But you would think they need to go through some sort of legal process to do this editing, right? Like, say, a constitutional amendment? If judges can just interpret this thing into nonexistence, then we don't really have a constitution, we just have a status quo opinion. This is the biggest reason, I think, why we need to keep the Senate.

Not enough of us are activists. We have to work. The Progressive Democrats have taken control of Congress. This is a crisis. See who Nancy Pelosi is at sadbastards.wordpress.com.

She is an elitist socialist, with the complete backing of the liberal mainstream media.
