The NRA has my money and full support.I only wish they'd help me out in California.

Having crime and criminal-supporter court systems is bad; having an inefficient police is serious; but not being able to protect yourself is simply unacceptable.As a citizen from a country where criminals have all the "rights" while decent people get no help from authorities and courts (which are severe only against people who had to use a gun to protect themselves), I can only disagree with that kind of measures.I wish a had an nra in my country.

do my rights include: having a gun,smoking some pot,aborting a pregnancy and marrying a gay dude. i think they do. i would like to see the nra join with norml, pro-abortion, pro marrying gay dudes and all groups that support indivdual rights. the fed has played a game of divide and conquer and they have fooled the american public. lets just continue to fight amongst ourselves. good luck to anybody that stands up for individual rights. our causes will remain in stalemate till we join.

Most Americans are unaware that the first gun control laws in this country were put in place to stop black people from owning guns. From that grave injustice we now have tons of evil unjust gun control laws.

Try to take my motherfucking guns away, side effects may include severe lead poisoning.

How are we supposed to protect ourselves against the police if they take our guns away?

If this makes you angry, join the organization that does all it can to protect our rights as American Citizens. If this makes you angry and you are not a member of the NRA, get off your ass and join. Protect Our Constitution NRA4EVER

Join the NRA if you want to help keep things like this from happening. I'm not trying to spam or anything. How could something like this happen in a great country like this? The New Orleans Police should be in some trouble.

this is terrible that these law biding people have there rights to own a gun taken away. the old saying is (if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have them) how sad. protect your rights

Also, Black Water was hired to patrol the streets. Now thats a scary thing, since they are free to do anything they want with no legal ties.

Was there any legal action taken against the government for this?

It's events like the Katrina gun confiscation that gives government a bad name. This is clearly an act of tyranny. The policemen that voluntarily participated in confiscating guns from law abiding citizens are no better than Hitlers jack booted thugs.

these were not local police. They were police forces brought in from California to assist in securing the area... No wonder they had no sense of the constitution! This is a perfectly good example of why you always harness a weapon on your hip... if they try and take your weapons, let them know that if they attempt to cease your property without a warrant, that they had better be prepared to kill you! That wont look too pretty on the 6 o'clock news!Fight back! Defend yourselves!

yes ! who is this goverment affraid! if they don't wrong the people then they should have no fear of them right!

Pal you're not even an American citizen, do you even wonder why your government doesn't give a rip about your individual rights? Its because you don't have the perceived ability to force a change in the event they stop representing you and become a self serving entity. Oh wait too late, for your country I guess.

You Christians are the only reason why school shootings happen. (Well the media promising 15 minutes of shame doesnt help ither.)

yes and grenade throwers and anti tank weapons , everything we need in case we need them, when the 2nd ammendment was written they had no tanks, Americans need to wake up Ron Paul 2012

What kills people is laws restricting gun ownership. The cities that are the most restrictive about guns have the highest crime rate--like DC.Now Switzerland--EVERYONE owns a gun (just about) and the crime rate is extremely low.Gun laws don't matter to criminals.

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.
