1. I want it, too. Heard about it on Randi Rhodes today.
US government officials going door to door, seizing weapons from people (in New Orleans, I presume). This would make freepers' heads explode!

6. Not if the weapons were seized from black people.
The right to bear arms is just another hypocrisy, not a principle. They mean THEY should have guns.

5. Talk Left has this.
http://talkleft.com/

The NY Times reports today that the NOLA Police have begun seizing guns from civilians.

Local police officers began confiscating weapons from civilians in preparation for a forced evacuation of the last holdouts still living here, as President Bush steeled the nation for the grisly scenes of recovering the dead that will unfold in coming days.

8. Fox News Story
From the story:

***

Police fearing deadly confrontations with jittery residents enforced a new order that bars homeowners from owning guns. That order apparently does not apply to the hundreds of M-16-toting private security guards hired to protect businesses and wealthy property owners.

10. No, what they are doing is completely illegal
the constitution clearly states the right to bear arms. And rightly so. Look whats happening. People need to wake up.

Clearly more is going on than meets the eye...

12. Posse Comitatus Act rescinded is next....
Mark my words...I give the Bush Cabal and GOP led Congress less than 30 days to have this little gem passed and have that pesky little act removed as a barrier....

You bet a lot more is going on....We can also all take comfort today in the decision about "Enemy Combatants".....talk about another unbelievably unconstitutional action...

11. It was one scrawny old woman with a pearl handled revolver
She looked like Granny Clampitt. And yes, they ripped that gun out of her cold clutching claws before she hurt someone...Is this the sign of the revolution for the freepers?
