Rampant looting a myth perpetuated by the press? Or a myth dispelled by a police department busy disarming law abiding citizens?
The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina
Video and testimonials on the travesty that occurred in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when police and law enforcement confiscated lawfully-owned firearms–at precisely the time citizens needed them most for self-defense!

Then came the military helicopters. They?d fly over the crowd, then fly seven or eight blocks away and drop food and water from about 40 or 50 feet?high enough to bust the boxes and send bottles of water all over the concrete. There was a group of people, Good Samaritans, who pilfered the Convention Center for handcarts and walked out to where the food and water was and brought it back to the people. And the people got together as a group and disseminated it amongst themselves, without any riots, any fights, anything. And then these people put together a box of food and water and brought it to us. We didn?t take it. We told them, don?t worry about us, give it to the kids and the old people. But these people were looking out for us at this point!
There were guys running through the crowd shooting at us and shooting at the crowd. And they would disappear back in the Convention Center. There wasn?t much we could do. How about shooting into a crowd of 20,000 people to kill one person? At one point, there?s a guy in a stolen Jeep Liberty who?s shooting at us with an M16. It jammed on him?he didn?t know what he was doing?and we were able to persuade him out of the vehicle the way I normally persuade people out of vehicles, and we were able to subdue him. We weren?t technically the most polite in subduing him. We did this in front of 20,000 detainees. I call them detainees because the city sent them to a place where they could be detained, and that?s all that happened, they were inconvenienced and detained. Anyway, we do this in front of the crowd and you hear this fucking roar from the crowd, this fucking standing ovation. We handed him over to the feds?who, by the way, are very good at making ID cards, and have really pretty uniforms.
Yup nothing going on here…no need for law abiding citizens to be armed.
