New Orleans Admits to SAF Attorneys They Have Seized Guns

3/15/2006 6:23:00 PM

Contact: Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation, 425-454-7012, Web: http://www.saf.org

BELLEVUE, Wash., March 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In a stunning reversal, the City of New Orleans revealed today to attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association that they do have a stockpile of firearms seized from private citizens in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The disclosure came as attorneys for both sides were preparing for a hearing in federal court on a motion filed earlier by SAF and NRA to hold the city in contempt. Plaintiffs' attorneys traveled to a location within the New Orleans city limits where they viewed more than 1,000 firearms that were being stored.

"This is a very significant event," said attorney Dan Holliday, who represents NRA and SAF in an on-going lawsuit seeking to enjoin the city from seizing privately-owned firearms.

"We're almost in disbelief," admitted SAF Founder Alan Gottlieb. "For months, the city has maintained it did not have any guns in its possession that had been taken from people following the hurricane. Now our attorneys have seen the proof that New Orleans was less than honest with the court."

Under an agreement with the court, the hearing on the contempt motion has been continued for two weeks, the attorneys said. During that time, according to Holliday and fellow attorney Stephen Halbrook, the city will establish a process by which the lawful owners of those firearms can recover their guns.

"While we are stunned at this complete reversal on the city's part," Gottlieb said, "the important immediate issue is making sure gun owners get their property back. We're glad that the city is going to move swiftly to make that possible, and naturally we will do whatever is necessary to make this happen.

"What happened in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was an outrage," Gottlieb observed. "Equally disturbing is the fact that it apparently took a motion for contempt to force the city to admit what it had been denying for the past five months.

Do you see the video of the woman in NO whose house wasnt damaged where they barged in and forced the woman to give up her gun? And then made her leave her home?

I have the iPod video and it's full of clips. My most favorite thing to do with it is to show the New Orleans gun confiscation clip then, the old lady getting taken down clip. Folks can not believe this can happen in America. Those two are eye openers.

Remember, they did this for high water after a storm. Think what they have planned for the next terrorist attack.

Buy an iPod and you may not need to buy so much ammo. I have both.

Indeed!

As I have always said, when it comes to fighting a Gov't that seeks to work secretly a camera(video) is as powerfull as a firearm, and. And both are vital.

Good to invest in portable media recording/play/burn devices. A PSP2 or Laptop would be good. Also, there are covert video players.

How might Waco had been different, if we could have had 3rd Party video availiable.

With all the zintillions of laws in this country, surely (?) there is a law mandating that a City truthfully reply to a reasonable question such as: "Mayor, Chief, Whatever, did the City of N.O. take any guns away from law- abiding citizens?" Then there's the 2nd Amendment.....It seems that the City of N.O. probably broke two separate laws in that confiscation.

I wonder what they thought they had to gain by not disclosing? I would like to know who ..what department decided to lie in the first place?? Was it the police chielf .. the mayor.. city manager? That would be interesting to know.. Seems like they wouldve broken more than one law.. in this matter .. and probably a few assaults as well..confiscating those guns.

When I was in the U.S.Army, protecting all of you and making sure that your "Freedom" was inviolable, someone in authority always was threatening me by saying "I'm gonna kick your ass, take your pass, and forty dollars of your pay !" Damned if I don't now think that's just about what we should be telling our elected politicians who are up there protecting our freedom.....and whatnot.....
