ORIGINAL: BamaD Must be nice to have such faith in government, what was wrong was in two cases the government lied, and just got the registration so they would be able to collect them. In the other the mayor, who didn't care enough about his citizens to use school buses to evacuate them used looting as an excuse to grab guns of the people most likely to be victims. But I repeat... if the people were legally allowed to have those guns - they would still have them wouldn't they? Much as I hate our government and every politician lies (it's part of the territory), it would seem that at least ours don't deliberately obfuscate and act illegally to confiscate guns legally owned. All I can say is, there must be more to those stories than was reported. As you keep reminding everyone, the 2nd allows Americans the right to own and bear arms. If they were legally owned, they'd still have them or there would have been a class action lawsuit filed PDQ. No, there was no legal justification for taking them. And my dear know nothing friend, they are in court, problem is there are too many cases against Nagel , the moron mayor of NO and the real cause of things getting screwed up in Katrina. All you are saying is they took them because they had a good reason and they had a good reason because they took them. So 'splain it to me WHY they took them... apparently illegally? Surely they had the right to defend their property, even if that meant SYG and shooting those trying to take their guns?? Nope. something doesn't add up here. Either they were corrupt officials - in which case they should be sacked and jailed. Or, there were more reasons to removing the guns that hasn't been reported. Right, Syg against four or five cops when you let them in because you thought they were there to help you. What BamaD has trouble with, are the facts. He has bad information that he got from conservative media sources that were pushing an agenda onto a public to stupid to question nor educated to research the facts. So what your hearing freedomwarf1, is someone brainwashed to believe a fantasy as truth and unable to question the information. When police have ceased firearms in businesses or homes during a disaster, they routinely make a note of the location. The firearms and ammo are kept in lock-up until the owners can arrive, prove ownership and take their arms back. That BamaD has trouble with responsibility with firearms. Sometimes, people have had to flee a disaster so quickly they couldnt safely move the arms. When the crews that clean up the mess uncover the arms, they are handed over to the police. So when a citizen states that they are missing one or more arms after some disaster to the police; and the police find one or more of these arms, they can hopefully return them to the rightful owners. Now if the guns were registered, this process would be much quicker! What BamaD is hearing from the conservative media, are the examples in which the police took the guns, found they were in the former possession of someone still wanted on one or more criminal charges. The person doesn't retrieve their arms, because they know they'll be arrested on the spot by the police; so make up this sort of story. Yes, the conservative media conveniently leaves the facts out to 'report the news'. There are a number of 'honest and law abiding' citizens whom own guns, have been charged with one or more crimes but not apprehended yet. Since they are only criminals once a guilty verdict has been reached in a court case. So it makes sense that the police would take possession of firearms during a disaster in which the owners are not present or can keep secured. If BamaD doesnt trust the government (to a decent amount), maybe he should renounce his citizenship and get the fuck out of my nation! None of your wonderful procedures were followed in this case and they didn't just take guns from unoccupied homes. Can't keep secured, is subjective. And people who tried to get there firearms back were not allowed to. Why should I leave? It is as much my country as yours and a healthy distrust of government is needed to keep them honest. You also failed to come up with an excuse for the deceptions of CA and NY in promising that registration of guns that look like assault weapons would not lead to confiscation when that is exactly what happened. This is a better example of the danger of registration.
