More from Nagin

The NRA writes:

After denying the illegal confiscation for months, on March 15, 2006, Mayor Nagin and the NOPD conceded in federal court that they do have seized guns stored in locked steel containers. The city then agreed in court to a process by which law-abiding citizens may file a claim to receive their confiscated firearms.

However, a New Orleans official handling the gun confiscations stated that no guns have been returned because the NOPD requires background checks, and the city has not set up a process. The official acknowledged, “We’ve been told it was going to happen weeks ago…and still hasn’t been done.”

    Background checks?
    For items that were legally possessed before being illegally confiscated???
    WTF?
    That’s a clear civil rights violation. And theft to boot!

    Jon,

    If, as has been reported, they confiscated those LEGAL guns from law-abiding citizens at gunpoint, that would be armed robbery–to boot.

    Obviously this has nothing to do with background checks. After all, the NICS is up and running — hell, it was running just fine thoughout the storm and during the confiscations. This is just foot dragging of the type you expect from tyrants being “forced” to do something they don’t want to do while they try to figure out a way of not doing it at all.

    There’s not one word of this over at Second Amendment Foundation’s page (saf.org). I wonder what is up with this, they have been on the ball the whole time.

    Several times, the NRA has gone back to their press releases and added credit where credit was due for the SAF, it’s funny to think that the SAF isn’t on the ball this time.

    Hmm.

    […] Remember, at first authorities there denied the confiscations occured. Then later admitted to it when threatened with a lawsuit. […]

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
