I wonder how many reports of “looters shooting at rescuers” were actually private citizens protecting themselves from the government gun-grabbers?

Just say that you work for halliburton! Here is a video from ABC which is disturbing to say the least...espeically when the National guard soldier says he feels "uneasy" at the thought of shooting American citizens on American soil...nevermind the breaking and entering. NOPD confiscation

Well, I for one would be happy to come to the aid of any homeowner facing forcible eviction or gun confiscation. Although, from the sound of things, saying, “Oh, I’m not the homeowner… He hired me to guard this place until he is allowed to return.” might be enough to convince the guh-grabbers that you are private security, and not merely a property owner…

Obviously, the police there have been doing such a good job that people should now trust them wholly in their defense. “No need to have a gun in New Orleans now – New Orleans finest will protect you!”

It is inevitable that when you need a gun most, the goverment will try to take it away.

I hope the looters don’t read the NYTimes. “hey guys! come and get it!”

I missed the part where the criminal element agreed to obey this “new” law in New Orleans.

On a related issue: finally the New York Times gets it right. Here is a great article on the difference between private and government emergency response:
