New Orleans Mayor Issue Ban on Firearms

[Defender]

The City of New Orleans head honchos are at it again. The Mayor has just issued a "Coronaviros Order" banning the sale and transportation of firearms and this means even by those who have valid Louisiana CCW's.

Alan Gottlieb of the SAF said:

"Following Hurricane Katrina, we sued the city when then-Mayor Ray Nagin’s administration began confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens for no good reason. The federal court order the city to cease confiscations".

He went on: "We sued New Orleans then, and we’ll do it again. The presence of a nasty disease does not suspend any part of the Bill of Rights, no matter what some municipal, state or even federal politician may think. While we certainly recognize the seriousness of this virus and its ability to spread rapidly, treating Covid-19 and taking steps to prevent it from infecting more people has nothing at all to do with the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment".


He further stated: “People legally licensed to carry should not have their right to do so suddenly curtailed because some politician panicked. We didn’t allow it before, and we’re not going to allow it now.”

What is it with those assholes from the Big Easy? First it was Ray "Schoolbus" Nagin (the convicted felon) during Katrina, and now this poor excuse for a mayor one LaToya Cantrell.. I think I will send a few bucks to help with the legal costs.

Does Louisiana not have preemption? Screwed up the legislature didn't address this for good after Katrina...

Just Men have a duty to disobey tyrants...

Lawsuits are post factum.

Yep the true colors for many of these cities and states are showing big time now.

The people of New Orleans swore after Katrina they would never give up their guns again. Good luck with trying to enforce it.

When your political leader does this, it tells you that's it's MORE VITAL that you carry a firearm where ever you go.

There's more than enough historical president to know that you never give up your firearm. Ever.
