N.O. and the 2nd Ammendment

This little snippet caught my eye from the Interdictor in N.O.

"I've heard about the gun confiscations going on, but I cannot confirm that it's happening. If you have confirmation that law enforcement or military personnel are confiscating lawfully owned weapons, please post it in the comments. We unloaded and packed up our weapons a few days ago when the police and military completely secured the CBD. Don't expect us to put up a fight if they come for our guns either. As immoral and unconstitutional as that action is, after surviving a direct hit by a cat 5 hurricane, the levee break, fires, civil unrest, and bullies masquerading as peace officers, I'm not gonna die on the 10th floor of this building to enforce my right to keep and bear arms. No, if they come in and ask for our guns, I'll turn them over and then move out of this state. Besides, the 2nd Amendment hasn't been upheld for so long it might as well not even exist anymore."

Not much to say, just thought it might ruffle some local gun nut's feathers.

And the Washington Post has this snippet:

But on Wednesday night, Guidos said, armed federal agents identifying themselves as U.S. marshals confiscated her weapons and ordered her and six friends to leave by noon Thursday.

"When you get 15 M-16s pointed at you and they line you up against the wall, it's kind of scary," said Guidos, 55.

The NY Times also:

To reduce the risk of violent confrontation, the police began confiscating firearms on Thursday, even those legally owned.

And just in case any state's rights people pipe up:

From the Louisiana state constitution:

Article I, section 11: "The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged, but this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed on the person."

Ok... there is a detail that needs pointing out. The U.S. military and the U.S. Marshall's are under the command of President G.W. Bush. A gun advocate violating the gun advocate's interpretation of the second ammendment. Oh the irony....
