Support your local 2nd Amendment

Last week, in a landmark victory for NRA and law-abiding gun owners, Judge Carl J. Barbier of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana denied the City of New Orleans' motion to dismiss NRA's lawsuit against the city. Further, Judge Barbier held that the Second Amendment does apply to law-abiding residents in the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans. Incredibly, the City of New Orleans persisted in desperately clinging to its anti-gun agenda by contemptuously arguing just the opposite--that the Second Amendment does not apply to residents in the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans.

NRA first filed suit after Hurricane Katrina, when firearms were confiscated from law-abiding New Orleans residents. Former New Orleans Police Chief Eddie Compass issued orders to confiscate firearms from all citizens. With that one order, the means of self-protection that innocent victims had during a time of widespread civil disorder was stripped away.

NRA filed suit in federal court and won a preliminary injunction ending these illegal gun confiscations. After the City of New Orleans failed to comply with the court's ruling and falsely claimed that the gun confiscations never occurred, NRA filed a motion for contempt that included an order directing all seized firearms be returned to their rightful owners.

After strenuously denying the illegal confiscations for months, on March 15, 2006, Mayor Nagin and the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) finally conceded in federal court that the seized firearms were stored in two trailers. The city then agreed in court to a process by which law-abiding citizens would be able to file a claim to receive their confiscated firearms. However, few firearms were returned because the NOPD never notified gun owners how to claim their guns, and turned many away citing impossible standards for proof of ownership.
This ruling sets the stage for a continued legal fight in which NRA will be forced to expend additional resources to fight back the anti-gunner's blatant and shameful attempts to ignore the Second Amendment. The case will now move to discovery and pre-trial preparation.

Ray Nagin and his gun grabbing cronies illegally seized over a thousand firearms from hurricane victims in their hour of need. They now seek to absolve themselves of the responsibility of their actions, and to continue to deprive law abiding citizens of their property. Help prevent this from happening. Make them face the music. Hold them accountable. Support the NRA and SAF.


Kathleen Parker says that sensible people are reconsidering our government's opposition to profiling in the search for terrorists. "Sensible people" huh? Well, when are the liberals going to get on board?
Ahhhhh ... but here comes a liberal to tell us that profiling is "unAmerican." What was that Kathleen Parker wrote about "sensible people?"

A group of young eco-radicals lecture school students on the dangers of farming. All those farms, after all, are pushing wild animals off the land! As the column title says, "Never Underestimate Stupidity."

It's the latest trend in Middle Eastern news photography: "fauxtography." Michelle Malkin tracks several cases where news wires have made available images that have been altered...exposing an agenda.

Hispanic groups and the ACLU are suing a town in Pennsylvania for cracking down on illegal aliens. Apparently enforcing the laws of the United States of America is not politically correct anymore.

On A lighter Note:
LINCOLN TOWN CAR
I bought a new Lincoln Town Car about two weeks ago. I had to return to the dealer the week after I bought it because I couldn't figure out how the radio worked. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. He said, "Watch this!" The salesman said, "Nelson!" The radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie," he continued and "On the Road Again" came from the speakers.

I drove away happy. For the next few days, every time I'd say "Beethoven" I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said "Beatles" I'd get one of their awesome songs.

One day, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car. I swerved in time to avoid them, and I yelled, "ASS HOLES!"

The French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Michael Moore, backed up by Rev Jesse Jackson on guitar, Al Sharpton on drums.

Damn! I love this car!
