Reply #11: The people having their guns illegally confiscated

[benEzra]

were in their own homes minding their own business, NOT people out in the streets shooting at rescuers. The people shooting at the rescuers were CRIMINALS, and the police can confiscate their guns all they want (just like police do everyday, in accordance with the law) with no complaint from anybody, and cheers from everybody.

The restraining order we are discussing applies to the ILLEGAL seizure of firearms from law-abiding homeowners, via ILLEGAL home invasions.

Point of fact--martial law was NOT declared in New Orleans, as Louisiana does not have a martial law statute. A "Public Health Emergency" was declared, which is similar, but Louisiana law does NOT allow an official to prohibit the possession of firearms in your own home under ANY level of emergency declaration. And the transport of firearms outside the home can be *regulated* under a PHE declaration, but not *prohibited*, and such a regulatory order requires the governor to jump through long series of legal hoops (which was not done), must be promulgated in accordance with state regulations (no such order was promulgated), and property must be returned after five days. THIS WAS NOT DONE, so there was not even a shadow of legal justification for what was done, and all the officers/troops involved in the door-to-door confiscations committed at least 10-year felonies by doing so.
