OFF THE WIRE

The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The crimes
committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The
arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their
hate of freedom will churn your stomach.
The law is the law, the
Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local mayor or police chief can
decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to
tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second
Amendment means.
You've seen this brand of abuse of freedom in
the history books—in the pages about days of gun confiscations leading
to the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you'd never in a million
years think it could happen in America.
Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take action today.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:
"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."
Thousands
of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The
police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed
in and seized them.
With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!
Now, one year later, these crimes against gun owners have snowballed into a far greater threat to our freedoms.
Even
though NRA secured a court order demanding their immediate and
unconditional return, almost every single confiscated firearm remains
locked in government trailers.
With the stroke of a pen, Mayor
Nagin and Police Superintendent Compass are getting away with "murder"—a
savaging of the second, fourth and fourteenth amendments of our
Constitution. And they have put America on notice that they're going to
keep seizing lawfully owned guns under any pretense.
New Orleans
gun owners are showing up at these trailers, with serial numbers of
their firearms, expecting Mayor Nagin and his band of anti-gunners to
respect the Federal courts.
They are met by stony-eyed bureaucrats
who say serial numbers aren't enough—and that gun owners now need PROOF
OF PURCHASE of these firearms.
How many of those gun owners do you
think had original receipts for those firearms? And even if they did,
how many do you think could find those receipts in the wreckage of a
hurricane?
Many of these firearms were passed down from father to
son, generation to generation. Some are precious heirlooms. Some are
collector's pieces won in our wars. And they were all lawfully owned and
they must be returned to their owners.
With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans the LAST time in America. Thank you!
