The good news...
Here's the good news from the NRA website:
http://www.nraila.org/Issues/Articles/Read.aspx?ID=177
LE has been ordered to return confiscated guns to their owners.
(Who should have never have had them confiscated in the 1st place!)
It's anybody's guess whether records were kept to help the firearms
return to their lawful owners.

Did you see HOW they were confiscated?
US Military, M16s locked and loaded went into homes with no warrant and searched for guns. The law bidding homeowners where handcuffed and sat on the dry sidewalks. There was no obvious person cataloging the firearms. So how LE knows what gun belongs to whom, I certainly don't know.
I contacted my congressman and both US Senators about this. My congressman said he is "Watching". I haven't heard back from my Senators
yet.

From Gun Owners Of America:
Well, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District in Louisiana issued a restraining order to stop authorities from confiscating firearms on September 23.
So what happens now to those corrupt officials who were stealing firearms? Will they be held accountable? Or, will every guilty official simply receive the equivalent of a hand slap, like a child caught sneaking a cookie?
To this end, GOA sent a letter to U.S. Inspector General Glenn Fine last month to request action. The letter cites newspaper articles and TV news broadcasts to demonstrate that National Guard troops, police and U.S. marshals were confiscating firearms in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The letter also reminds General Fine that the U.S. District Court in Louisiana put a stop to this illegal taking on September 23.
In light of this overwhelming evidence, GOA urged General Fine to "investigate who are the guilty parties who need to be held accountable for perpetrating these harmful acts against innocent Americans."
General Fine has the authority to investigate the criminal acts of federal officials and to refer them for prosecution.
(GOA sent a similar letter to the Attorney General of Louisiana, requesting that he bring charges against state-level officials who were stealing the firearms of citizens in the Big Easy. These letters can be viewed at http://www.gunowners.org/notb.htm on the GOA website.)
So far, it appears that General Fine has been dragging his feet on this request -- which is why he may need to hear from folks all around the country.
ACTION: Please contact U.S. Inspector General Glenn Fine and urge him to conduct his own investigation into the gun confiscation scandal and to refer guilty parties over for prosecution.
You can use the pre-written letter below to direct your comments to General Fine. Or, you can visit the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send General Fine the pre-written letter as an e-mail message.

Sendec,
The NRA has documented 30-40 individual confiscations. This figure was stated by Wayne LaPierre. The guns have not been returned, and likely will not be returned until the entire process is over with, assuming law enforcement even has them.
P. Edwin Compass III, NOLA Police Superintendent resigned the day after the restraining order. He said it was to pursue other interests etc..... Nobody is fooled.
