the door-to-door gun confiscation from law abiding american citizens due violation of 2nd amendment.
The city of New Orleans admitted that what they had authorized was wrong. I do not agree with what they did mind you.
The Second Amendment states... "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The amendment forbids the federal government from passing any law, that infringes on the right of the people to bear arms. Technically speaking, said amendment does not prevent the individual states from passing any law restricting or forbidding the right to bear arms. Ergo what happened during Katrina, was not a violation of the II Amendment.
Technically speaking, the city of New Orleans violated Article 1, Section 11, of the State Constitution of Louisiana.
Article 1, Sec. 11. The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be
abridged, but this provision shall not prevent the passage
of laws to prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed on the
person.
