When the authorities confiscated weapons after Katrina, how did they go about it?

All of these emergency weapons bill laws are unnecessary. Of course state and local officials don’t have the power to confiscate and seize your weapons. You see, they enacted this law a few years back that states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Basically these laws are saying that they are going to obey an amendment of the bill of rights. Well how nice of them.

So if the PD comes to my door, how much will reciting the second amendment to them help me? I doubt it would help much at all.

More than likely, I would not even open the door and yell at them from my second floor window to come and get them or pound sand. I somehow doubt they will go busting down my door knowing full well what awaits them up the stairs.

If they tried to enter your home, without a warrant, or confiscate your weapons without a warrant, then under every case I know of that has set precedent, you have every right to fire upon them. I also truly believe they’d have no case against you in court, as they unlawfully entered your home. The problem is surviving the initial gunfight.
