GUN-GRABBING Democrats Strike Again

ONCE AGAIN, MAYOR NAGIN SHAMLESSLY
DISREGARDS GUN OWNERS' RIGHTS

Law-abiding citizens of New Orleans who were forced to relinquish their legally owned firearms to the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) will have to wait, indefinitely, to regain their property. New Orleans officials revealed they have not returned any firearms, as Mayor Ray Nagin and the city have yet to set up a return process.
"Mayor Ray Nagin continues to deny freedom by denying lawful citizens their Second Amendment rights," stated NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. "First, he confiscates law-abiding citizens' firearms and lies about it. Then, he fails to comply with court orders. Now he refuses to return the legally owned firearms to their rightful owners by dragging his feet. It's a disgrace."

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."

NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox stated, "During a time of chaos and lawlessness, Ray Nagin took away the only means of protection law-abiding citizens had, and by delaying necessary and appropriate action to right this wrong, he blatantly continues to disrespect New Orleans citizens. The Mayor's contempt of court, his contempt of the Second Amendment, and his disrespect of the law-abiding gun owners of New Orleans is shameful."

Go ahead, bash the Republicans and give Congressional control to the gun-grabbing Democrats, then watch what happens.

Unfortunatly, It looks like alot of republican seats are going to be lost in the upcoming election. This, however, is due in no small way to Bush's approval rating. People are pissed when they go to the pump, and the way the war is being run (amongst other things). The rest of the republicans are going to pay for Bush's 'sins'.

Anything is possible but your reasons sound like Kerry's failed campaign for Pres.

How could any other party get you lower prices that the pump? Why vote out the people who have been trying for YEARS to explore other means of getting oil?

Can't the citizens file a joint lawsuit against the city of New Oreleans, the parish seat, the police department, the mayors office with the state for illegal sezure and denying property owners due process for return of confiscated property?? I bet there is a state law reguarding the return of property....or they could just riot, hell everyone else does when they don't get they're way.
i don't think its a democrate vs. republican issue- its a corrupt governing body with no respect or loyalty to its citizens.

..."Sir, we're here for any firearms that you have in your possetion. Its for your own safety as well as those of the community....."

"Yea, well, i gt into some hard times about 3 months ago and sold my guns to pay some doctor bills and stuff......reciept?? no, I don't have a reciept, they got sold up in (place name here) at a gun show....yessir, search all you want to......."

Always store supplies for future events......never give away anything to the uppercrust. The state nor the government has stood up for these people and thier rights. I could really and truely could care less for all the hurricane victims that tried to ride it out....you knew it was comming, you should have left. But to deny people thier property, beit guns or golf clubs just goes too far for me. And of course, no one in our great government will say a word other than-"thats a shame".........."we'ee return you firearms after the situation gets underconrtol".........."nope, you can'y have them yet...becuase we said so"..........well IMHO, words can be broken, but so can bones!
