As we commemorate the second anniversary of the devastating hurricane that ravished the New Orleans-area, let us remember all of its victims, including the Second Amendment. With local law enforcement officials engaged in a concerted effort to confiscate the lawfully owned arms of New Orleans’ residents after the storm, those who claimed “it could never happen here” learned that the U.S. is not immune to illegal gun confiscations. If you’ve forgotten how the Second Amendment was trampled upon following Hurricane Katrina, or if you have friends or family members who still naively believe “it can’t happen here,” please see NRA’s compelling video on the subject by clicking here.
While NRA has had great success in passing federal and state statutes prohibiting this kind of constitutional travesty in the future, we must remember that not all of the guns confiscated two years ago have been returned to their rightful owners—a situation that NRA remains committed to rectifying.
