Remember what happened after Katrina? Firearms were confiscated by the NO LEOs. Remember how SCOTUS finally told Nagin he couldn't do that (two years later) and they had to give everything back? Remember how few of those firearms were actually returned to their rightful owners? It will happen anytime the government feels a threat exists. Then there will be mea culpas and we're sorry and a few weapons will be returned.
It seems to me what we most learn from history is that we don't learn from history. We may be able to start a revolution at the ballot box. But we DO need to get back to the basic principles upon which this nation was founded. November 2010 is not that far off. And 2012 is just around the corner. Read the Constitution. Learn what you believe. Then vote the b@st@rds OUT.
