Gun Rights? What gun rights?
With the barrage of stories coming out of NOLA in the past weeks, gun rights issues have been largely overlooked, despite an obscene record of government bullying and overreaching. This might someday see more attention, but until then at least we have a few notables like this, an important piece by David Workman. He writes:
A simple look at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina reveals a disturbing chain of events that had the issue to do with anything but guns, there would have been an uproar in the media....
New Orleans police officials ignited this fire-storm by declaring that they would confiscate everybody's firearms. They didn't cite any statutory authority or emergency regulation -- they just did it. Why?
Because apparently that's the way that New Orleans Police Superintendent P. Edward Compass III wants it. His infuriating quote to The New York Times: "Only law enforcement are are allowed to have weapons."
This is a must-read if you care at all about individual rights. I wonder when the ACLU will get on board? Then again, what about the conservative bloggers? Powerline? Michelle Malkin? Maybe they've addressed this, but I haven't seen if if they have.
