Assault weapons ban coming to New Orleans?

[LACamper]

Yep, but I'd rather be back in Slidell.

This photo was taken as Nagin was placing the firearm on a table. Did Nagin intentionaly point the fire arm at his face? No. The photo was taken at that moment and he ran with it!

ZACKROCK The point is the ******* still was pointing it at the *******

The camel's back is now broken by one straw to many. New Orleans can go to Hell, I'm going to Texas. Kicking myself for not doing so right after the storm...

You only need to jump across the canal to be out of New Orleans. No need to go to TX.

Although there is some New Orleans population spillover into Jefferson, the idiot politicians stay on the other side.

There's a lot of spillover into the new parish known as St. Tamanard


Where y'at!

 

[JadeRaven]

Yeah but I'd prefer Bernardians to Orleanians.

MmmmHmmmmmmmm

Hey, about how many plasma flat screen tv's do you think N.O. finest can fit into the back of that APC? I sure hope those rifles have slings, wouldnt want them to have to put them down when they're helping themselves to the loot come next end of the world.

I'm already in Metairie, actually. As I implied by the whole "straw that broke the camel's back" business, this was just one thing too many, and not the only, or even the primary, reason I'm looking at heading west. Rents in the metro area are in the same price range as they are in Santa Fe, NM, only without the more pleasant climate, nearly non-existant crime, better scenery, and easy access to primo skiing. I'm currently paying $1.254 per square foot for a 500 sq ft. apartment in an OK neighborhood. (AKA, the longest anyone openly selling crack has lasted on my block has been about two weeks before the JPs ran them in, and most of the smaller apartment units within a few blocks of my place are full to the brim with mojados.) Native Texans are gobsmacked when I tell them that it's cheaper to live in Austin than post-Katrina New Orleans. Besides, I'm getting to the point where I should really settle down, find a nice girl, and start a family. Even before the storm, the NOLA metro was less than ideal for that.

So if they could ban them what happens to all the ones already owned leagaly?Are they grandfathered in.

Riley can crap in one hand and wish in the other. Louisiana has a preemption law which prevents a local government from making law that takes rights away guaranteed by the state. So unless the state legislature decides to ban "Assault Rifles" Riley is just wasting breath and time he should be devoting to fighting the real reasons of NO crime.

When assault weapons, firearms, pea shooters etc... are finally banned for good from existence, I think they will all be grandfathered in but no longer transferable meaning when the owner of them dies they must be destroyed turned in etc... so that in 100 years from the time the laws would go into affect that they would all be gone. Fing $hit gets me mad just thinking about it.

Then gun owners should be more aggressive in defense of their Inalienable Rights. My Constitution trumps any Civilian Disarmament scheme an "elected" official can cook up. To be straight with you, I dont even need a piece of paper to tell me I have the right to keep and bear arms. Must be something wired wrong in my head I suppose.

 

[SimonJester308]

When guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns? OK. But with around 258 million guns floating around, I think I'll be in good company on the "darkside"
