Until the Supreme Court acts differently on the 2nd Amendment, gun permits will remain legal in many jurisdictions, including Western Carolina where I live. That's for pistols. Long guns are still free as a bird. It varies by jurisdiction.

Of course, gun ownership has nothing to do with the current legality of guns in any jurisdiction. D.C. forbids law-abiding citizens from owning guns. Yet any teenager in any school can buy any weapon he wants for cash, within a couple blocks of his school.

And yes, I am well aware of John Lott's excellent work in showing that the ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens makes the crime rate go DOWN, not UP. I didn't discuss that subject because this is not a "gun control" thread. I try not to hijack threads away from their intended purpose.

Well there is NO gun registration in NO and the people's guns will never be returned. The lack of outrage on people being deprived of their rights tells me all I need to know of your political career.

You're claiming that State infringements ["gun permits"] will "remain legal" until the USSC acts 'incorporating' the 2nd Amendment, correct?

And you agree that States & local governments can prohibit/regulate owning & bearing arms, correct?

Thus the current actions of New Orleans 'authorities' are, in your view, constitutionally legal?

Greeting Gentlemen,

Just pulling out the tinfoilman playing an old tune about the past. Please give me your ballpark opinion pertaining to NOLA/FEMA relating to old news of Clinton-UN paranoia and if it relates to NOLA in principle.

"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."

--Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Sec. of State,
as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992
