I will be writing to my elected officials to request an inquiry. Do we know exactly authorized the firearms confiscation in NO? Was it local officials or Federal?

Certainly it was some worthless scum that was either

a) not born in this country
b) thinks their intellectual skills will lead them out of this crisis
c) has been anti-gun for a long time and finally got their opportunity to bypass the legal system

I hope all the a-holes trying to enforce this get the bullets first.  Man that would be true justice.

Based on what I saw the NOPD is leading the taking of firearms and  that would indicate the Mayor or the police chief or both.  So is the NG operating under the direction of the Mayor in New Orleans?

The Louisiana National Guard takes their orders from the Governor.

The NOPD takes their orders from the Police Commissioner.

The Police Commissioner takes his orders from the Mayor.

Since both NOPD and LNG appear to be involved in this confiscation (there still seems to be some disagreement as to which states NG's are actually participating), I would think both Governor and Mayor would have had to issue a joint order.

But that's in a world where things like "proper chain of command" and "The Constitution" actually mean something, which is clearly not the case in New Orleans right now.

Once the dust has settled, the people responsible need to be held accountable.  Hopefully this can be done politically and through public pressure, but even if it cannot, they need to be held accountable regardless, through whatever means are available.

Exactly.  Just how the hell are they going to keep track of a collection, pay for lost (read confiscated or sticky fingerd) damaged weaponry.

Well yeah, that's why the people can't leave it to the government to hold itself accountable.  Those responsible need to be voted out and have their lives ruined as they have helped ruin the lives of others.  Barring that, I'm not really willing to talk about more direct action on an internet board.

you know, our fore-fathers would tear down and destroy the houses of the local governors/tax collectors etc whenever they enforced a mandate of the King.

can you just imagine if a mob of Patriots physically torn down the house of a elected official?

Now I would watch that for sure (or join in, what ever comes first)

A large portion of the Louisiana Guard have already done an Iraq tour. I remember reading about  (and seeing photos of) their Mardis Gras party in Anaconda when I was in Mosul.

CalGuard are participating in this confiscation business as well: KCBS (Local radio) has a reporter tagging along with a Cal unit. They haven't had any fights or need to arrest people so far, though they are taking their time over it and only hitting about 40 people a day. (Their CO is a therapist, might account for the success in resolving things peacefully)

Ok I was joking with the google mutherfucker part, but really, it's all over the place. Do a search
for gun confiscation on this board and I bet you find  one that has articals and stories. It's not difficult to do. LikemI said exercise some personal initiative and you will find it.
