NRA Sues Mayor Ray Nagin

Fairfax, VA-The National Rifle Association (NRA ) has filed a motion for contempt against the City of New Orleans, the mayor and the acting chief of police for failure to comply with a temporary restraining order, handed down September 12, 2005, ordering an end to all illegal gun confiscations.

"With looters, rapists and other thugs running rampant in New Orleans, Ray Nagin issued an order to disarm all law-abiding citizens," declared Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president. "With no law enforcement and 911 available, he left the victims vulnerable by stripping away their only means of defending themselves and their loved ones. Now Ray Nagin thinks he's above the law, and that's just wrong."

Attorneys for NRA have exhausted all efforts to cooperate with the defendants, Mayor Nagin and Chief Riley, who repeatedly ignored the court's permanent restraining order against their illegal gun confiscations.

"Ray Nagin is a colossal disappointment," said Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist. "During a federally declared emergency, he abused his power and abandoned the very people he was sworn to protect. He took away the victims' freedom and their basic means of self-defense during an ill-fated and perilous time."

The motion also includes an order that all seized firearms must be returned to their rightful owners.

Not sure how they'll pursue this from a legal basis, but I definitely agree with their purpose. I also think that if any of the people who were disarmed at the direction of the Mayor suffered any loss because of the Mayor's actions, they should sue the bujees out of the city too.

Have to agree with this.

I'm sure Nagin did this only to further a political agenda. To even think he was doing a justice to the people is crazy. What could he have been thinking?
Thank You NRA! Glad to know my dues are being used well.

If you were to take and completely isolate this situation from all others and show proof of how banning guns affects society, then this is a classic case. He took guns away from law abiding citizens and placed them directly in harms way of .......you guessed it........ the criminals who have the guns because they are CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard a report a month or so ago and it said that of the very large number of people that were killed during or from Katrina, 26 were found to be shot. HMMMMMMMMM sounds to me like not everybody put down their guns. Imagine that. Mr. Chocolate City is wrong again. I can almost guarantee that he will be re-elected. I say let them sleep in the beds they made and be done with it.

I'm glad to hear this. Nagin is an idiot anyway. He is to busy trying to point fingers at the feds instead of standing up and saying that he screwed up too. I don't think he'll be mayor after the next election.

Cool. I hope that idiot gets what's coming to him.

I'd change the above quote to "colossal dip wad" or some other choice word that I'll keep to myself.

BTW - Does everyone realize that if you say "Ray Nagin" quickly it comes out as "Rain Again"?

Is this really who we want in charge of a flood prone major metropolitan area?
