While the United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” and John C. Guidos is effectively guarding his business in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, louisiana, statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) confiscate his legally registered shotgun and pistol.  Shortly thereafter the defenseless Guidos’ business is looted.  This is the only time Guidos sees SEOs on this day.

       Postscript: The next day, Eddie Compass, Chief of Police, of New Orleans, defended the actions of his SEOs saying, “No one will be able to be armed.  Guns will be taken.  Only law [statute] enforcement will be allowed to have guns.”

       Question: How did Compass find the time to have his SEOs confiscate thousands of legally registered arms, but not protect and serve the city’s endangered residents?

       [added 1/27/2024] Thanks to Chuck McGlawn for this entry.

       So much for the Second Amendment.  Have Eddie Compass and his agents been charged with sedition, or violating the guaranteed rights of the Citizens?  Not a word of such in the media, to date.  –– JL
