Good job, NRA ... and that means all of its members. Your (and my!) contributions are taking the fight to the enemy.

For those not contributing, well ... I guess this is an exciting time for you, watching the rest of us kick butt. Hope you're taking notes so that if you're not going to be a part of history, you can at least help record history.
 
Two questions; What happens to the firearms already siezed, will they be returned to the owners? and What happened to Patricia Konie?
 
Siezed firearms? What siezed firearms?
Confiscation order? What confiscation order?
Compass is denying ever giving such an order.
There are no receipts. There are no confiscated weapons.

...hey, didja see Officer Foobar's new pearl-handled revolver? and Captain Nutjob's new pair of AR15s? Picked 'em up cheap in New Orleans on their last visit...
 
And therein lies the problem: most law is based on cooperation. Simple denial and obfuscation can go a long way against legal defense of rights. As such, the NRA will be portrayed as suffering from hysterical fanaticism spawned by a "simple misunderstanding".
 
ctdonath - But the truth shall set you free !

Go NRA. Let the lefties spin, the Socialist Mainstream Media mutter ...

The TRUTH WILL OUT.

Too many blogs, too many boards like THR. Lettm spin, we will win.
 
Standing Wolf,
restraining order doesn't mean a victory. It just TEMPORARY stops the action. I'm suprised too, but this is round one. If NO want's they can challange the order to a higher court.
Honestly, I don't think NO will, but they could.
 
I've still got issues with the NRA, but I will recognize when that do something right. If they ever adopt a no compromise agenda and work at it, I’ve got a check that I’d love to send them.

Don’t get me wrong, I really I want to give them my full support. I'm just not prepared to do that until they clean house and get serious.

So you are part of the problem and not part of the solution. Nice.
Another anti-2A member of a pro gun board.

If you disagree with one of the groups, fight for change as a member. Don't sit on the sidelines and bitch.
 
Keep in mind that SAF was involved in this. It appears that SAF started the ball and NRA joined their effort. While NRA might be percieved as standing on one leg in a high wind, SAF has both feet firmly grounded and knows how to swing their club.

Join BOTH!

It was probably unopposed. I doubt it will ever be opposed or appealed. I think it was more symbolic that actually meaningful. The confiscations had already stopped. I do like the effort though even it it really doesn't do much .
 
That a restraining order was issued is indicatation of
- enough evidence exists that there WAS an actual official confiscation order
- people DID have their guns confiscated without cause
- the confiscation order has NOT been officially recinded.
A judge does not waste his time issuing a ruling if there is nothing to issue a ruling on.
 
This is great, but in the case of NO, isn't it a little late? The confiscations started weeks ago, and had probably stopped by now already. Now, if part of this was a court order to NOPD to immediately return all the guns they stole, that would be something.
It does set a good precedent, though, and I am happy about that aspect.
Gotta wonder about Nagin and Compass: Did they really think no one would notice, and that they would just get away with it?
 
I heard that a lot of the guns confiscated were passed out to EMS personnel, as BUGs for cops, or were stripped down and tossed into the flood waters. I dont think anyone got reciepts for their guns. If that happened to me I would sue for all the really expensive guns that were taken from me :D However my question is: What about the guns that were confiscated and not accounted for by the authorities? Will the people be able to make claims and will the NOPD, CHIP, NYPD, and other PDs pay for their cops taking guns from citizens?
 
Yeah, I'm sure they'll account for the guns the same as they account for any bodies that turn up with bullet holes in them. There's no paper trail on anything and guns won't be any different.
 
Ease up guys. One step at a time.

This specific case was about one specific thing, stopping the confiscations.

Now that one is done, GOA, SAF, and NRA will be talking to the other victims about filing suits for returns of the guns.

You didn't think there would be one court case and it would all magically go away did you?

It will be months of time in the courts to straighten it all out, and it is going to be very interesting to watch.

Nagin is very afraid, he is already distancing himself from the Chief, and saying he wasn't involved.

It's gonna be a long one, but kinda fun to watch them get stomped on.
 
NRA and SAF ROCK! Member of both, GOA and JPFO! See, you don't have to hate the NRA to be a member of another org.. Man, this action by the NRA must make you "haters" tighten up!!! :neener:
 
TexasSIGman,

You and I will have to disagree. I don’t support compromise and that is what the NRA is all about. While they might appear to share some of my positions on paper, they’ll abandon me whenever politically expedient. When the NRA gets a backbone, I’ll support them with my money.

If my choice in an election is between a major RINO twit and socialist F******* I’m going to stay home or vote for someone I know can’t win.

I think the people that enable the erosion of our rights are the problem and at times this includes the NRA.

I guess we will have to disagree. I just don't understand what changes you expect to see as a non member without a voice, but that's your choice.

I agree with you that change needs to be made, but I can guarantee that changes won't come from non-members.

And they will continue to abandon you because you are doing nothing to make change. Well actually, they didn't seem to abandon US in New Orleans. That is right, NRA members put the heat on and despite many naysayers predictions that the socialist NRA would turn tail and run, they stuck it out and are continuing to stick it out.

You know I bet politicians absolutely fear you only1asterisk. As soon as you walk up and tell them, "You better do what I say because I will never vote for you, but some schmoe that has no chance in hell", I bet they instantly recognize your power and political strength. No, don't tell them you are on the border and you might vote for the other guy who has a chance to win. No, don't try and dangle some of your money in front of their face and try to influence them with what they truly understand, campaign donations. It is best to just stick to your idealistic virtues of inaction and ineffectiveness.

I think people who don't try anything to stop the erosion of our rights except complain about it and take ineffective political action are the problem. You know if the NRA is so bad and so good at eroding our rights, what are you doing to combat them? Seriously, you should be campaigning to eliminate them as an organization with a counter organization who is dedicated to their elimination. If you aren't, the biggest threat to our 2nd Amendment rights is winning, and you are doing nothing to stop it. Of course you could be a NRA member and organize other NRA members to vote for the board members you like. Of course you probably wouldn't like that idea because it has a snow ball's chance in hell of succeeding. It is better to just gripe about them on the Internet and hope everyone who reads your words will abandon the NRA, the most powerful lobbying group in this arena. Good luck.
 
Does anyone have the URL for the news clip of the cops a) disarming the old lady with a tackle or b) disarming anyone else and c) the police chief saying the people would be disarmed?
 
NRA bashing for the sake of NRA bashing is not only boring, it's too often.

Again: Those who don't like the NRA are not obligated to join. And, they are free to join any of the other organizations which might be preferred, or start their own.

Enuf.
