LaPierre Bearing Down............

CobrayCommando

I really hope that was all tongue in cheek....I think it was, but I don't do well with sarcasm in print....oh well......:p :D
 
So how many guns ended up being confiscated, or more acurately, how many people had guns confiscated? Does the NRA post a figure?
 
I do not know but according to Mr. LaPierre in order to make the case against NO stick and get the cease and desist they had to prove the order was given (done thanks to newspapaers and video footage shown in court) and provide examples of confiscations. The NRA had begun compiling a list, from day one, of the people who had had guns taken. This list, including names, addresses and weapons was provided to them in many cases by the soldiers and LEOs doing the confiscations!

As Mr. LaPierre said, the governemnt officials knew what they were doing was wrong and many helped the NRA to end it but at the same time he did not know of one instance where a soldier or LEO refused the illegal order...
 
sendec,
The TRO lists one, a Buell O. Teel, which was enough. I believe the unofficial count of reported confiscations fell between twenty and thirty, although I have no documentation to support that.

It does not appear that the confiscations have really ceased, but that the NOPD has gotten a little more slick at doing it.
