New NRA Campaign Asks Lawmakers to Pledge Not to Confiscate Guns in Times of Crisis

By JAKE TAPPER and AVERY MILLER





May 17, 2006 — The National Rifle Association is fired up.



ABC News has learned that the powerful gun group will launch a new campaign on Thursday when it convenes its annual convention in Milwaukee, Wis. It will demand that police chiefs and mayors pledge to never confiscate weapons from law-abiding citizens in the wake of disasters such as hurricanes or terrorist attacks.

"We are going to ask every mayor and every police chief in America to take a pledge that they will never go door-to-door confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens," Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the NRA, told ABC News in an exclusive interview airing this evening on "World News Tonight."

"We're also going to go to state legislatures and Congress to pass legislation to make it a federal and a state crime for anyone that gives those orders and carries them out," he added.

The organization officials maintains that after Hurricane Katrina, law enforcement officers in Louisiana confiscated firearms from law-abiding gun owners

**************

I can't believe I am saying this, but knowing the government we are up against, I have to say I agree with this position.

They can now eat the F**kers!!!

I just really hate NRA types.

E.g. Organized countries or even terrorists invading when there aren't enough troops around.

#2 makes us our own militia as need requires.

So why do the bushbots get angry over this?

And, more frighteningly, for Amendment 2 to be uprooted like this... what sort of "crisis" are we referring to?

if it's a natural crisis, go right ahead. Looters with guns are more likely to kill for their own survival; petty animals they are.

But if terrorists came in and tried to kill American lives - damn straight, shoot those fuckers first.

The gun lobby won't be satisfied till every church, school and business is full of guns, sort of like the wild west multiplied. BTW, we lose almost as many Americans from guns as car accidents. Far more wives are killed by husbands with guns than all the justifiable homicides in the nation. The USA leads all industrialized nations by multiples in guns deaths, people in prison and murder. America's gun culture is a sickness that degrades our public commons every day. We must not be doing the right thing policy wise in regards to guns because Americans aren't worse in other crime areas.
