New Orleans, Katrina, illegal house to house gun confiscation

[deanrd]

Many Republicans believe Obama did a lousy job helping people right after the hurricane.

I was in Katrina in New Orleans. The only people who had their firearms taken were people looking for trouble, looters, car jackers, etc. The city had nothing to do with it. The National Guard was in charge.

What is a lie?

That storm troopers were going door to door to take guns. My brother was there and the national guard and LE showed up to his house. He and his gal were asked to welter out side, the first thing they were asked was "y'all okay" they said "yes". they were then advised that power would be out for a long time and if possible they should leave if they had the means to do so, and that if they didn't that transportation would be provided. Happened all up and down the street. So the lie is that the us military was taking guns from people, they didn't. LE did however, and only when they entered a house. If the house was empty and there were fire arms they were taken. The rest is all just Alex Jones bull shit.

Guns were confiscated. Was it done to everyone and by all government forces? No.

As they went through looking for Bodies and survivors I'm pretty sure they would have secured any firearms they came across if the owner was not securing them. That makes sense to me. If anyone lost firearms they could report them missing and most likely get them back, if the police took possession of them.

Agreed. However there were situations where officials confiscated weapons of law abiding citizens.

A few. Look at it like this. A natural disaster has hit a week prior. You are a cop and you come across a guy with an AR 15 slung across his back, plate carrier the works. You say "hey sir what's up, what you doing". And dude gives you a bunch of shit and becomes belligerent? These are the type of folks who had their guns taken. The cops helped my brother load his in his truck.

But I've heard of numerous examples where people were absolutely not belligerent. There was a woman stopped by police, when she was leaving the city. She had a pearl handled pistol, that had been in the family for generations. The police confiscated it.

Are there good police, that helped your brother load up the truck? No doubt. But don't give me this 'it didn't happen' crap, because it most certainly did.

And Bush Jr., as president, visited the area by flying over New Orleans at 30,000 feet, and he looked out the window of Air Force 1.

Circumstances such as Katrina the National Guard are 'ground pounders'... The fine folks known as the Cajun Navy - Wikipedia brought boats to you...

Hurricane Katrina (2005)[edit]
Former Louisiana state senator Nick Gautreaux put out a plea across local television and radio for "Anybody [who] wants to go help the people of New Orleans please come to the Acadiana Mall." Between 350 and 400 boats and people showed up. This makeshift flotilla that became known as the Cajun Navy is credited with rescuing more than 10,000 people from flooded homes and rooftops.[6]

----------------------------------------------------- and personally that's how emergency should be handled rather than relying on 'furst resp0nders' . Self sufficiency is what its called RRunner .

--------------------------------------- well , the people had guns to protect themselves and many were well supplied . A week or 2 waiting for Rescue is no big deal as they were Rescued alive . Besides I dispute you Week or 2 claim if you make that claim after the Hurricane dissipated itself . You sit on the roof and wait for rescues in any case VS .
