The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The 
crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond 
comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and 
government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your 
stomach.

The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE 
local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment 
means, it opens the door to tyranny�where ANY mayor or police 
chief can say what the Second Amendment means.

You've seen this brand of abuse of freedom in the history 
books�in the pages about days of gun confiscations leading to 
the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you'd never in a 
million years think it could happen in America.

Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take 
action today.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie 
Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling 
words:

"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only 
law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."

Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun 
owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. 
They just stormed in and seized them.

With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans 
the LAST time in America. Thank you!

Now, one year later, these crimes against gun owners have 
snowballed into a far greater threat to our freedoms.

Even though NRA secured a court order demanding their immediate 
and unconditional return, almost every single confiscated 
firearm remains locked in government trailers.

With the stroke of a pen, Mayor Nagin and Police Superintendent 
Compass are getting away with "murder"�a savaging of the second, 
fourth and fourteenth amendments of our Constitution. And they 
have put America on notice that they're going to keep seizing 
lawfully owned guns under any pretense.

New Orleans gun owners are showing up at these trailers, with 
serial numbers of their firearms, expecting Mayor Nagin and his 
band of anti-gunners to respect the Federal courts.

They are met by stony-eyed bureaucrats who say serial numbers 
aren't enough�and that gun owners now need PROOF OF PURCHASE of 
these firearms.

How many of those gun owners do you think had original receipts 
for those firearms? And even if they did, how many do you think 
could find those receipts in the wreckage of a hurricane?

Many of these firearms were passed down from father to son, 
generation to generation. Some are precious heirlooms. Some are 
collector's pieces won in our wars. And they were all lawfully 
owned and they must be returned to their owners.

With your help we're going to make the first time in New Orleans 
the LAST time in America. Thank you!
