"No one will be able to be armed."

This is just great!!! What ever happened to being able to protect yourself and your family? Not in the Big Easy! :shock:

What this is, is tyranny.

The National guardsmen are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution, and to obey the lawful orders of the President of the United States, in that order.

I'm pretty sure that the 2nd Amendment says "shall not be infringed", I must have missed the part about "except in an emergency".

Guys I've been warning for years on this site and even before I set it up on others that a great conspiracy is afoot in this country. There is a massive and coordianted effort to take away all Second Amendment protections first and then VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER all the rest of our Consitutionally protected rights and freedoms.

I have no doubt that in my life time we will see either a total loss of freedom to the extent it is in China, Cuba and was in the Soviet Union or we will see a massive uprising and another Revolutionary War.

I'm also of the opinion that the government now has the resources to quell any such war to the point that it wouldn't last long or be very successful. So yeah ultimately total loss of the US Constitution is the inevitable result. I see more and more things being put into place each day with the express purpose of making all this come to pass.

Fellars it ain't that far off. And sadly I think it's already too late to stop it.

Innocents my ass what about the Second Amendment it is for these kinds of things not against it. Tell Me wizzard if California had the big one you would not be armed and would you give up your guns?

Greybeard,

I agree. I hate to be a pessimist also but I'm afraid we are on the way "down". Just look at society and values in general. Chaos,oppression,loss of U.S. sovereignty, one-world government, and the anti-christ are all lurking in the shadows. The future holds the death of billions.

I will be among the first to disarm the "Lawless"-one way or another.

I've seen nothing on the news about these illegal confiscations, sure are keeping it quiet. This is scary. A heck of a thing, to take away a mans means to protect himself and his family. POWDERMAN.  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x  :x

[jh45gun]

there were some discussions on several forums in the past wondering if US soldiers would take away guns from law abiding citizens if confiscation was ordered. Well I guess this answers it guys.  :x

[Land_Owner]

The TV reported four Louisana guys, formerly armed with shotguns and rifles, were shown wire-tie "handcuffed", their weapons confiscated, and were eventually let go without their weapons.  

The media portrayal was (inadvertently I'm sure) pro-gun in this instance that law abiding citizens were being rounded up and disarmed.  Or is that me reading between the lines and wanting it to look this way?

On another report, a National Guardsman (a young soldier) said he would rather be in Iraq than patroling the streets of Louisana where he might have to shoot Americans.  It was not reported how the Guardsman felt about thugs, rapists, looters, and other "American" hostiles.

Here here Graybeard...correct again.  Sometimes I regret bringing children into this world, because I can't stand it myself.  I kinda hope they will be socialist/liberal so their life can pass easily into the night.

Thing is it seems theyre dissarming anyone with guns. Why would they skip you? Its BS, you commit a crime you pay the price. If its a crime for honest men to arm themselves in times of turmoil then GB's prediction is already underway. Take a mans guns in a situation like this & then let him go unprotected on his way because he wasn't doing anything wrong?
Thats a crime IMO & acording to our own laws too.

[unspellable]

Graybeard is wrong.  It isn't the second going first, almost all of the rights spelled out in the constitution have been eroding away.  The first is history in all its clauses.  Property rights are no more.  On and on and on and on.  About the only part of the Bill of Rights still being observed is the part about not quartering soldiers in private homes.  I suppose from the main body, we still observe the prohibiton against bills of attainder, but I'll bet not one person in ten even knows what a bill of attainder is.

I am of the opinion that about 85% of what the federal government does is unconstitutional.

Graybeard is right in that the country is setting itself up for a dictatorship.

Meanwhile, in Russia, people have been encouraged to buy arms.  One wonders what the world is coming to.

NRA's Wayne LaPierre Slams Seizure of Guns in New Orleans

National Rifle Association (NRA) leader Wayne LaPierre slammed New Orleans authorities Monday for seizing legal firearms from lawful residents.

"What we’ve seen in Louisiana - the breakdown of law and order in the aftermath of disaster - is exactly the kind of situation where the Second Amendment was intended to allow citizens to protect themselves,” LaPierre said.

"When law enforcement isn’t available, Americans turn to the one right that protects all the others - the right to keep and bear arms,” LaPierre added. "This attempt to repeal the Second Amendment should be condemned.”
The New York Times reported last Thursday that no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to have guns, quoting the superintendent of police that "only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons.”

A Louisiana state statute allows the chief law enforcement officer to "regulate possession” of firearms during declared emergencies. "But regulate doesn’t mean confiscate,” said Chris W. Cox, the NRA’s chief lobbyist.

"Authorities are using that statute to do what the looters and criminals could not: disarm the law-abiding citizens of New Orleans trying to protect their homes and families,” Cox said. "The NRA will not stand idly by while guns are confiscated from law-abiding people who’re trying to defend themselves. We’re exploring every legal option available to protect the rights of lawful people in New Orleans and we’re taking steps to overturn such laws in every state where they exist.”

"Local authorities in New Orleans are turning nature’s assault on human life into man’s assault on human rights,” LaPierre said. "Four million NRA members intend to stop this unconstitutional power grab.”
