Making a Bad Situation WORSE

If you had already lost your house, your money, all your possessions, and most of your dignity, would you like the police to tell you that you better just spread your legs and let the rapist do his business? That's what's happening in good ole New Orleans. The Washington Post reports that police have begun confiscating LEGALLY owned firearms, to help make the forced evacuation go over easier.

So, the evacuees are most likely at least 75% innocent civilians and the rest criminals to one degree or another. Shouldn't the majority be allowed to defend themselves against crime? Wasn't the 2nd Amendment put into place for EXACTLY these kinds of situations, situations in which there is a defacto lawlessness and it's everyman for himself?

This is simply illegal. You can bet that if they tried to take away my 9mm it would have to be from my COLD DEAD HANDS. I applaud any law abiding New Orleans gun owners who ACTIVELY RESIST this forced disarmament.

Did you know that in the state of TX, you do NOT need a concealed handgun license, if you're storing the gun in your car? You are allowed to carry a concealed handgun without a license during special circumstances, and old Texas law (which the legislature just reiterated as of last Thursday) states that one of these circumstances is "while traveling." As long as you don't intend to rob a store or murder someone along the way, you can keep a gun in your glove compartment.

That's cool what Erin said. About what you said; I agree. They're just taking away the 2nd amendment rights from people who are law-abiding citizens. They should take the 2nd amendment rights away from the criminals.
