It doesn't matter. What the f*** is wrong w/ our country??? Some inept bumbler like Nagin or Blanco can take away someone's right and means to defend themselves and/or their property while hired Blackwater types are allowed to defend OTHER people's property. Absolutely unbelievable. I wouldn't give 'em up. They'd have another Waco on their hands.
I really wish someone at the Federal level would step in and say this is wrong but I won't hold my breath.
