So North Koreans, Vietnamese, Iranian Jihadis and Belorussians will have more rights during the Olympics than will law-abiding Britons.

Boy, you are just chock full of cheery news aren’t you?!

…do these people just complain? Or have they/NRA/lawyers taken action, such as suing Ray Nagin or having him charged federally for 2nd amendment rights violations?

Good question. Seems that they did step in.

NEW ORLEANS — Under pressure from the National Rifle Association, police this week began returning guns confiscated after Hurricane Katrina.

The police department is making the guns available three days a week. At the close of the second day Wednesday, police said only 17 of about 700 weapons had been returned.

Police and soldiers removed guns from houses after the storm flooded the city, and they confiscated guns from some evacuees.

The NRA and other groups sued the city, saying it took away people’s means of protection amid the lawlessness that gripped New Orleans.

“Natural disasters may destroy great cities, but they do not destroy civil rights,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, which joined the NRA in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was dropped after the city agreed to return the guns.

are just well-intentioned but ill-informed.

and conditioned by media to have a knee jerk reaction to the sight of a gun. I do not know how many shows I have watched where, at the appearance of a gun, some character flinches and winces and demands the gun be sent out of the house or some such nonsense.

While there are some people who want guns banned no matter what, I believe that most people, whether in Canada, the US, Australia or the UK, are just well-intentioned but ill-informed.

Most people who say things like, “If you have to register a car, then what’s the big deal about registering a car?” have no idea what is involved.

Imagine asking people on their driving test, “have you ever been involved in any kind of conflict? Do you have any kind of emotional problem? Give me a list of everyone you’ve been involved with. And I’ll need someone to vouch for your character.”

The fact that most people are unaware that gun possession and gun homicides (and knifings, home invasions, etc) have increased in the UK since handguns were banned in 1997 is further proof (if needed…) that reporters are overwhelmingly statist.

Re New Orleans, do these people just complain? Or have they/NRA/lawyers taken action, such as suing Ray Nagin or having him charged federally for 2nd amendment rights violations?

What they didn’t mention in that video is the reason that the police took those actions in the first place: New Orleans is crawling with gun-toting thugs (including some cops).

ANd finally, you’ll be happy to hear that the British government has suspended many of it’s gun laws for the duration of a famous pagan festival that will take place in London in 2012.

So North Koreans, Vietnamese, Iranian Jihadis and Belorussians will have more rights during the Olympics than will law-abiding Britons.

They need two referees?!? it’s not meant to be anything but a stumbling block. It reminds me of muslims demanding four witnesses to a rape

Provide information about your former conjugal partners. This includes any person, other than the person named above, with whom you have lived in a conjugal relationship within the last two (2) years. If you need more space, list the information on a separate sheet of paper.

If you need more space? To list conjugal partners? What the hell is going on over there? Abortion industry must be raking it in. You have to freaking laugh. It all is therapeutic in approach, as if they were going in for therapy. No questions asked about politics or religion? Just mating habits, emotional state and substance abuse. So an applicant needs to be stoned, depressed and horny before considered a risk?

Do muslims get a pass because they are surrounded by “hostile”  infidels. I’d like to see this crap enforced in their no-go zones. Hell, they can just take week-end forays out into the general population and shoot down random infidels for sport, then scurry back to their proper english caves where your unarmed cop won’t touch them.  I mean, what is to stop them? Unarmed bobbies?

This is really becoming a nightmare. It only took two weeks in Australia… All we need is for some fool to shoot Obama, riots break out and here they will come – swooping down on law abiding citizens to confiscate guns……..
Ok, well, my stomach is in knots
