“Last week, GOA alerted you to the fact that officials were illegally confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens in New Orleans. National Guard troops and police were going door-to-door and seizing guns from honest residents, without any constitutional or legal power to do so. Despite a few initial reports in the New York Times, the Associated Press and ABC News, there has been nothing said in the mainstream news since then. Not surprisingly, GOA has found that many offices on Capitol Hill are completely unaware that gun confiscations were occurring! To help overcome this appalling lack of information, GOA has constructed a special section at http://www.gunowners.org/notb.htm on the GOA website, so that gun owners, media pundits and congressmen can see for themselves what has been happening in New Orleans. ” (09/15/05)
