you realize that New Orleans cops were also guilty of taking guns from civilians, kicing in doors and taking away those same guns.

cops are not here to protect right to own guns, they take them when they want.
people in new orleans learned that when cops get scared, they seize civilians gun. people who were trying to protect themselves, were DISARMED BY THE COPS.

After Hurricane Katrina, many New Orleans residents legally armed themselves to protect their lives and property from civil disorder. With no way to call for help, and police unable to respond, honest citizens were able to defend themselves and their neighbors against looters, arsonists and other criminals.1
However, just when these people needed guns the most, New Orleans`s Police Superintendent ordered the confiscation of firearms, allegedly under a state emergency powers law. "No one will be able to be armed," he said. "Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."2 (Fortunately, an NRA lawsuit brought an end to the seizures?along with a far-fetched denial that confiscation had ever been ordered. Following this, Judge Carl J. Barbier, presiding over the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, held New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Police Chief Warren Riley in contempt for ?failure to provide initial disclosures and to compel answers to discovery? during NRA?s injunction against the City for their illegal gun confiscations.)

as a resident here, cops are not your friends during a hurricane. they consider armed citizens the enemy
