im sure all of you guys have been pinged to this story by now but im so pissed off i cant even begin to read through 400 posts to be sure.I mean how long have all of us been talking about registration is the first step towards confiscation and all the fr bushbots shouted us down. "NO that will nbever happen george bush is the new jesus he has an r next to his name there fore he is a conservative and will never allow americans 2cd 4th and 5th amendment rights to be violated he swore an oath after all".Maybe this will wake up some of the fr bots but i really doubt it.Most revel in and brag about being ignorant of history becasue they desperatly want to repeat it.
Man, all this will do is drive private prices up.
I don't know how the Democrats can lie their way out of this one to the folks in Louisiana.
Smart move Mr. Compass, especially since I doubt you could do it if you tried.

NOW I bet they invoke the insurrection law, when people are exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Another reason to oppose mandatory registration.
I wonder if they are getting receipts for the return of the weapons. Mine are not expensive top end firearms – but they represent a good chunk of money to me. There is also the little thing about self defense …
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.
Once again, a different set of rules applies to the wealthy.
Apparently people who can't afford to hire stand-ins to protect their property have to give up their guns and get out of town, leaving their homes defenseless.
Disgusting.
Don't worry. The police will protect you (*snicker*).
Eddie Compass is an incompetent fool. This is clearly illegal and unconstitutional.
FMCDH, indeed!
Hey Bruck --this is disturbing.
New Orleans is using gun records to find and seize people's guns.
They showed on TV a woman in her house; the police broke in and told her she had to leave, and she had a gun and they wrestled her to the ground.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The amateur looting seems to be over, now. The professional looting has begun with the order to confiscate lawful weapons. Once that process is completed, we'll see what they aim to loot next. But gutting the Constitution, naturally, begins at the Second Amendment.
They are storming the gate, our Bill of Rights, two at a time, aren't they? Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment.
Good read:

"The Mayor of New Orleans is attempting to do in a couple of days that which has eluded the power of the anti-gun factions in this country for 218 years, strip law-abiding citizens of their right to keep and bear arms. In spite of the fact that the Constitution clearly reserves this right for the people, and under the 9th and 10th Amendments proscribes those rights among the many Americans have, specifically from the Federal and State governments; this is being allowed to occur. Mr. President, you must step in and stop this violation of the Constitution..."
This is a "I don't know if you've seen this yet, PING"
The question you have to ask yourself...
"When does a resonable person take a stand???"
And is a resonable act of a reasonable person, an appropriate refusal to give up their arms?
Why don;t they just say yes, you may keep your weapon(s), but we really insist that you leave...
"Please let us help you get to a better place to stay."
Seems to me that being reasonable goes both ways...
But that'll never happen now...
The precident has been set...
In case you hadn't see this one yet . .
