The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second Amendment means.You've seen this brand of abuse of freedom in the history books—in the pages about days of gun confiscations leading to the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you'd never in a million years think it could happen in America.Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take action today.New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them.With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!Now, one year later, these crimes against gun owners have snowballed into a far greater threat to our freedoms.Even though NRA secured a court order demanding their immediate and unconditional return, almost every single confiscated firearm remains locked in government trailers.With the stroke of a pen, Mayor Nagin and Police Superintendent Compass are getting away with "murder"—a savaging of the second, fourth and fourteenth amendments of our Constitution. And they have put America on notice that they're going to keep seizing lawfully owned guns under any pretense.New Orleans gun owners are showing up at these trailers, with serial numbers of their firearms, expecting Mayor Nagin and his band of anti-gunners to respect the Federal courts.They are met by stony-eyed bureaucrats who say serial numbers aren't enough—and that gun owners now need PROOF OF PURCHASE of these firearms.How many of those gun owners do you think had original receipts for those firearms? And even if they did, how many do you think could find those receipts in the wreckage of a hurricane?Many of these firearms were passed down from father to son, generation to generation. Some are precious heirlooms. Some are collector's pieces won in our wars. And they were all lawfully owned and they must be returned to their owners.With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!https://membership.nrahq.o g/forms/donate.asp?CampaignID=neveragain

This is just a taste of what will happen when the shit realy hits the fan. This government will turn on us in an instant and it doens't matter if U are the safest person with a gun or not, you won't be able to have on for fear of fighting back. Sickening that this was allowed to happen. They violated everyones rights.

This poor lady...the local police were real bullies. So, after a natural disaster, the 2nd Amendment is repealed? I think not.

it's not the fact that we own guns that gives America the highest gun related death rate. i don't personally know why so many Americans die by guns every year but if we all practice safe and responsible gun ownership and use, there'd be a whole lot less gun related deaths in the entire world, not just America. just watch the movie "Babel" and you'll see what i mean.

Boy I'll tell yah; this government thinks they're the Lord God Almighty and the police think they're the divine angels; absolute power my fanny!

The freedom we all enjoy today(or what's left of it)is directly linked to the founding father's implementation of the 2nd amendment.The Republic came into existence because the British wanted to confiscate the guns.The 2nd amendment is about the citizens protecting itself from tyrannical government. The U.S is the biggest armed camp in the world and the elite can't wait to change that.

So we should be able to own tanks right?

Nate:Property rights are the foundation of freedom, and it doesn't matter what kind of property we speak of. If the government can take guns today what's to keep them from taking your house or your land tomorrow.Here in the U.S. this is supposed to be a nation by the people and for the people, not for the elite in charge.

I can't wrap my mind around why so many Americans so blindly and stupidly advocate lax gun control laws. I'm from Canada and I live in the Victoria region of vancouver Island. We have around the same population as Baltimore except one tenth the murder rate. Now try and bash gun control

This is an outrage. That woman clearly showed her revolver was empty with the cylinder open and she was not aggressive or using the weapon in a threatening manner. The U.S. is less of a democracy than ever before, because of all these left-wing, anti-gun nutjobs, we are becoming a socialist nation with no rights. Vote, don't let this happen and God help us if their are any more bans. Remember, "From my COLD, DEAD hands."

With guns we are citizens without them we are subjects. |
