NRA Finally Speaks Up on Confiscation of NOLA Guns
by Last Night in Little Rock
As previously reported here, the NRA was slow to speak out about confiscation of guns in NOLA. They did today:
National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre slammed New Orleans authorities Monday for seizing legal firearms from lawful residents. "What we’ve seen in Louisiana--the breakdown of law and order in the aftermath of disaster--is exactly the kind of situation where the Second Amendment was intended to allow citizens to protect themselves, " LaPierre said.
"When law enforcement isn’t available, Americans turn to the one right that protects all the others--the right to keep and bear arms," LaPierre said. "This attempt to repeal the Second Amendment should be condemned."
Usually, the NRA is right on this kind of thing. It took them as long to swing into action as the Bush Administration.
