The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina

Having just returned from a business trip to New Orleans, I was interested in reading more about how people there survived during the Katrina disaster. One of the most disturbing videos was one I found on YouTube from the NRA about how non-violent law abiding citizens had their weapons unlawfully confiscated and destroyed; and at times, were brutally assaulted for no reason what so ever.

This is one of my biggest concerns about carrying and storing firearms during a disaster while there is still some “Rule of Law”. How do you protect yourselves from police taking your weapons?

NOTE TO SELF: This is yet another example of why it is important to have a back up of your supplies. Finding a solution for creating secure caches with our backup supplies needs to be a priority.

    Great video, It scares the crap out of me that this type of stuff can happen here. It is becoming apparent that we are losing our rights as American citizens. We need to make sure that our rights to have and bare arms are protected. Glad you posted this.

      Like wasn’t exactly what I meant…… agree is more like it. I am much less concerned about criminals and terrorists than the people we “should” be able to trust the most. The militarization of police and the vast amounts of armed goverment security forces are alarming. Just last year I made the mistake of camping in a near by state park which not to long ago was a laid back and peaceful place, It was patrolled by a force of “park rangers” armed and with attitudes as if in an innercity hell hole. Their patrols were as if in occupied territory. I’ll not go back…….. I think this is a sign of things to come……

    yes it changes the way we respond to authority. Some will resist and fight loosing their lives others may be quick and hide weapons in case of confiscation. Either way its a problem with little positive solutions.
