So ... we are just paranoid about the government taking our guns away ... quote: <HR>CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, MAYOR RAY NAGIN ONCE AGAIN FOUND IN CONTEMPT OF COURT District Court Judge to City Attorney: Conduct "wholly unprofessional" NRA and law-abiding gun owners won yet another victory this week against New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and former police chief Warren Riley. Judge Carl J. Barbier, presiding over the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, granted NRA's motion for contempt against New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Warren Riley for "failure to provide initial disclosures and to compel answers to discovery" during NRA's injunction against the City for their illegal gun confiscation of law-abiding citizens following Hurricane Katrina in 2006. "Once more, Mayor Ray Nagin and former police chief Warren Riley are held accountable for considering themselves above the law," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. "These men have had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, every step of the way in this process to return the lawfully owned firearms to their own citizens, and Judge Barbier rightly found them in contempt of court for their complete lack of respect for the rule of law." Furthermore, Judge Barbier concluded the delaying tactics by the City's attorney, Joseph Vincent DiRosa, Jr, were "wholly unprofessional and shall not be condoned." Mr. DiRosa admitted in Court that he had "no good reason" to explain his actions and has been ordered to pay partial legal fees to NRA's attorneys for their wasted time and money. "Ray Nagin, Warren Riley and their attorney refused to provide vital information to the U.S. District Court for their unconstitutional acts in their city's time of great need," concluded Cox. "On behalf of the lawful gun owners of New Orleans, NRA is pleased with this outcome. We thank Judge Barbier for his swift decision and we will continue to press for the full return of all the confiscated firearms." the City's attorney, Joseph Vincent DiRosa, Jr, were "wholly unprofessional and shall not be condoned."

Color me 'just waking up', but I find it interesting that this story was not carried by my local (large metro) newspaper, nor the one local (large metro) tv station that I bothered to search, nor yahoo news. Heck not even "fair & balanced" Fox news (which I usually like) carried this story. I did a google search and found that basically this story was only carried by pro-gun sites.
The question is are you surprised? The media is very anti-2nd Amendment, this is just another example. Sorry I didn't provide the link, I got it off of another board and was too lazy to paste it.
