Where Is The NRA?

With all the screaming and yelling about their second amendment rights where is the NRA to complain about the weapons confiscation goin on in New Orleans? Well a visit to their website and you get this statement that is nothing more than a way of being an apologist for the Republican party: Numerous media sources are reporting on a campaign by New Orleans city authorities to confiscate lawfully-owned firearms from people in the city. Louisiana statute does grant the government, during a state of emergency, broad powers in regulating and controlling firearms. However, we have seen not just with Hurricane Katrina, but other similar situations, that when police are unable to control the criminal element, people turn to the one freedom that protects all others--the Second Amendment. [snip] Of course, the entire situation in New Orleans is constantly in flux. But rest assured NRA is monitoring this situation very closely and will address any activity by the government that unduly infringes upon the rights of lawful gun owners at the appropriate time. As we learn more, we will report to our members accordingly. So they will "monitor" the situation. Where may I ask is this so-called "criminal element" or "out of control" situation at the present time in New Orleans? It seems to me the only people left and in posession of fire arms now are people who are doing nothing more that protecting what is theirs...their homes!!! Isn't that what the NRA has always spouted as a reason to have a weapon? This statement is nothing more than just so much Republican crap. Many people ridicule Alex Jones of InfoWars.com for his tinfoil-hattery, but his statement makes a hell of a lot more sense than the NRA's “The balloon has gone up, the shoe has dropped. Anyone doubting the criminal intentions of the social engineer control-freaks in Washington need only look at middle-class neighborhoods being stormed by black-masked wearing jackboots on a mission to steal guns. This is a precedent setting case for national gun confiscation. This is a clear declaration of war by the Federal Government against the American people. This is exactly how Lexington and Concord started the Revolutionary War in 1775.” This is only the beginning my friends. I am sure Dear Leader and his fascist friends have much more in store for you.
