This is EXACTLY the reason we of the firearms fraternity oppose ALL
firearms registration programs. "They" always say, "don't worry, we'll
just keep these records in case your gun gets used in a crime or
something" and then, The Government, for whatever reason they choose,
comes knocking on your door, demanding your guns.

I hate/love when they prove us right.

Hey arsewipe,
Why would you have a problem with them confiscating guns there? The
morons like you, are shooting at cops, rescue workers, and national
guard. Don't you think that's good enough reason to confiscate
weapons? Registration is a smart thing, so I understand completely why
you don't understand the concept. BTW dumbazz, those "registrartion
records" that scare you so bad, they were likely destroyed in the
flood too.

From another article:

"No civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns,
or other firearms, said P. Edwin Compass, the superintendent of police.
"Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons," he said."

However:

"But that order apparently does not apply to the hundreds of security
guards whom businesses and some wealthy individuals have hired to
protect their property. The guards, who are civilians working for
private security firms like Blackwater, are openly carrying M-16's and
other assault rifles. Mr. Compass said he was aware of the private
guards, but that the police had no plans to make them give up their
weapons."

As always the wealthy are protected, the poor are left to fend for
themselves, and that's exactly what the 2D Amend attempts to prevent and
always why registration = confiscation. Always.

Somehow I think you have decided the govt. action is a bad idea for a
different reason to mine.

I'm worried that there will be a bunch of guys (like JH probably would if he
were in NO) who will stand up to the authorities coming to confiscate their
weapons and quote the law and refuse to give up their guns. Which would
create a shedload of trouble with said authorities being as jumpy as they
are.

Whereas you're seeing a vision of a big nasty policeman coming to remove
your penis extension.

I am sure that is true being I understand the issues here and you don't.
However, I fail to see then how your comments = "I might even be in
agreement with Brink here"

Ah, so the "authorities" should ignore the laws and those who stand up
for the law are the bad guys. Got it, thanx.

That would be a nice troll were it not so hackneyed.

More likely, Will's issue is that the Government and rich people have
the right to defend themselves and their property (with M-16s, no
less!), while "average" and poor people do not. You don't see a
problem with this, eh Peter?

Do you want me to quote the Hank standard Bu$h rant here? You're asking for
it.

I think it's a bad thing, I also think that the US govt. is not likely to do
something unconstitutional which inconveniences rich guys who will put a
high-powered lawyer in court. More to the point, the US govt. will not
generally do anything that inconveniences rich guys if they can help it;
offering special favours in return for election campaign money only goes so
far if you've already ****** off the people you want money from.

You could try electing the Democrats if you want to avoid that happening,
they will do exactly the same thing but with a sugar-coated spin.

I'm basically thoroughly disgusted with both parties, and have no
faith in either.

Anyway... What government has just done is the very thing it's
supposedly prohibited from doing by the 2nd Amendment. This should
pretty-much dispel any notion law-abiding U.S. citizens may've had
that their government, state, local or federal, has any respect for
their rights under the Constitution. What an incredibly stupid
thing to have done.

You're the moron. Things in New Orleans are bad enough that people
are paying ridiculous amounts of money for rent-a-cops with M-16s to
protect their property. Rich people aren't doing this because they
like rent-a-cops. They are doing it because they don't want to lose
their stuff. Meanwhile, the government is going around disarming law
abiding citizens. The rich people don't have to give up their guns,
and so their property will be safe. Everyone else will have to simply
take their chances.

Now, if it were possible to disarm everyone, then you might possibly
have a point. However, the criminal element isn't likely to give up
their weapons. Criminals are busy hiding their weapons. Heck,
they're busy holing up themselves waiting for the rest of the people
to be forcibly evacuated.
