But then again one of the reasons the government would hesitate in doing such a thing is yes indeed the 2nd Amendment. However again going into hyperbole that the measures taken in New Orleans to restore order is beginning of the end of the 2nd Amendment is just that. Hyperbole - extravagant exaggeration.
Exaggeration? I think not. There was no real reason to consficate the firearms of the people staying at their homes. There is no chance that they would actually get the guns of someone who had been perfoming criminal acts. Do you think the people who have their guns stolen are going to get their guns back? The gov't is just using this as a chance to take guns.

Martial Law has not been declared (LA state law doesn't have it), and the 'emergency situation' does not provide for siezing guns.

Soon, every liberal city council that hates guns will use a storm or blizzard where any criminal uses a gun to sieze all guns. Its the legitamizing of stealing guns for 'safety'. But I guess you don't care, just as long as they don't take your long guns, huh?
