Fairfax, VA-After a three-year legal battle over the unconstitutional confiscation of lawfully owned firearms, the City of New Orleans has agreed to settle a law suit by the National Rifle Association (NRA). A permanent injunction has been issued against the city, Mayor Ray Nagin and current Police Chief Warren Riley. The Second Amendment Foundation assisted NRA in the legal battle against Mayor Ray Nagin and the City of New Orleans.

“Today’s outcome is an important victory for the citizens of New Orleans and the Second Amendment,” said Wayne LaPierre, NRA’s executive vice president. “We fought for three long years in a fundamental legal challenge to assert the inherent self-defense rights for law-abiding citizens, knowing the Constitution would prevail. Today it has prevailed and freedom has won.”

Judge Carl J. Barbier presided over the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Judge Barbier signed the permanent injuncation against the City of New Orleans. The city admitted the firearm confiscations carried out by Nagin and Riley were unconstitutional and illegal.

Under the terms of the injunction, Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Chief Warren Riley and any agents or employees of the City of New Orleans shall:

· cease and desist confiscating lawfully-possessed firearms from all citizens;

· make an aggressive attempt to return any and all firearms which may have been confiscated during the period August 29 to December 31, 2005;

· within one month of the settlement, post on the City website the procedure for the return of confiscated firearms. This notice must include an interactive form for those claiming firearms to fill out, resulting in timely transmission of the information to the appropriate official. All other information on claiming a firearm will also be included on the site.

· within one month of the settlement, the City must mail notices to all individuals who are identified on the property tags of firearms in the City's possession which were confiscated during the aftermath of Katrina.

“On behalf of the lawful gun owners of New Orleans, NRA is pleased with this outcome,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA’s chief lobbyist. “We thank Judge Barbier for his leadership and constitutional scholarship in presiding over our lawsuit. NRA will continue to aid however we can in the full return of all the firearms confiscated by the City.”

OK-I admit it!-I am guilty of being scared to the point of panic, the words coming out of my mouth are unfathomable, I can't believe I even have to group the words TOGETHER and worse yet have to form sentences with them! Geez, man, I love this frickn country what the hell is going on? I have learned more "Financial" talk and Wall st. Jargon in the past few week than I have in my entire lifetime!- I started "waking up" about two years ago, after seeing the Movie "Loose Change"
and believe me, once you start asking seemingly "Solid" questions, with out receiving ANY "Solid" answers, your proverbial trip down the rabbit hole has begun! NOW- there have been moments, in the not to distant past, of outright "Trauma" and depression from this crap, BUT- being an extremely curious soul, always searching for the TRUTH, I must attempt calmness and maybe even a little disassociation, ONE of the Videos I watched about 2 months or so ago SCARED the livn shiat out of me: It was from "Dr. Deagle" on the "Splash" page it was titled: The Granada Forum" I know that alot of people reading this may have seen it, Alot of it was totally plausible, but then when Dr.Deagle talks about "Reptilian Interbreeding" One must step back and really THINK about what this person in pushing! The thing is- is that WE KNOW for a fact what is REALLY, with out question is happening to our Country , BY our GOVERNMENT, and I think by concentrating on what we know we can somewhat ascertain where it will take us! I mention this because I came across this today;;;:"Swallowing the Camel"

OK, so that brings me round to my original intention, which is to show you that we are not out of the woods yet, I am NOT sure what the fuk "DERIVATIVES" are, but I'am pretty sure their Hungry!!!(and they drink blood!
