    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

    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

    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 [censored] 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.
