When is a gun "illegally" registered?If you are a convicted Felon or otherwise disqualified from firearms ownership, you cannot be legally required to register a firearm. It violates your 5th Amendment Right to not incriminate yourself....

The area also placing the evacuees on planes and not telling them where they will be going. The often don't know where they are until they land. Just sickening.

"We have more sorry reasons than we can count for never ever leaving our fate up to or placing our faith into, government, for anything." Haven't in my 30+ years....and never will. These recent scenes of taking law abiding American citizens from their homes will be etched in my mind forever. Makes me think that this will be the "new" scenario in states across the country when "emergencies" are declared. Except it will happen prior to the mandatory evacuations.

BK...I am sure that Nagin has quite a few wealthy investors ready to "help" clean up NO. We can't forget his previous position with Cox Communications....and those wealthy friends.

Drega went off his nut. A saner man would have shaken the dust off of his shoes and left looney land for good.

TXBubba, I saw that same news report. The locked doors of the unscathed Mansions were being kicked in and the police were going through the rooms with their automatic weapons drawn! The homes that were untouched are now wide open to the elements and robbers. I gotta wonder if there is a class warfare subtext here. Police occifers are not usually known for being private multimillionaires and the grudges of 'poor' against 'rich' run high in liberaland.

So President Bush is Hitler? I could be wrong, but I believe the commie mayor of N'awlins ordered this...but if it turns out that Bush did order it in this manner????? If the Foo Sh*ts, wear it.

Hey There;
I'm not there so I was only speaking to the idea of cops coming to take you guns. If for whatever reason they come through my neighborhood doing the same thing I will not fight, rant, rave or throw a fit. I'l smile and hand them a number of guns (all of them basket cases and only fit for the trash can).

Unlike the rest of the country, state law in Louisiana is based on the Napoleonic Code, inherited from its time as a French colony. Puerto Rico is also a civil law jurisdiction.This is my primary point.
However, the criminal law of both jurisdictions has been necessarily modified by common law influences and the supremacy of the federal Constitution. Louisiana law is subordinate to the US Constitution. -- As are the laws of every state in the union.
100% Correct.
just as you did as member of the bar. Correct?
I'm sorry I gave you the misapprehension that I was a practicing attorney. I went to law school a long time ago. I'm not a member of any bar...not even the one on the corner. I actually teach American Government in an inner city high school. Been a teacher over 16 years. But thankfully, I'll never get taken on a contract for anything.

And why was that? Could be he just had enough. The same things happening everywhere. Do we need an A-team?

What are going to do when they come around the second and third times rounding up the guns? Can you bend yourself into a pretzel shape?

We now have the example we need whenever undecideds say gungrabbing "can't happen here." This is obscene. Well put!
To: RDTF
What happened to their/our second amendment? I'll read this thread 'cause maybe someone has answered this question . .
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

you dont have a rifle or a side arm? I have a .22 rifle, which would not be much use for defense. I think I'm going to purchase a 12-gauge when I can afford it, though.

"What law did they break? Remaining on their own land?"
You do not "own" your own land. You "buy" the right to USE it in the US. If you doubt me, try not paying your property taxes for a few years.

Doesn't hurt my feelings. I just think that some people are too quick to give up or turn tail.

Anyone participating in the unlawful confiscation of arms from American citizens is an enemy of the Constitution and has ceded the right to the protections afforded by it.
What is the mind set of a leo or soldier who would attempt to take the arms of a lawful citizen ?
It's not good.
