Gun nuts

The NRA has a problem with the law enforcement officials in Louisiana who collected handguns to prevent violence during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans and other government officials ordered law enforcement officers to go door to door to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens at gunpoint. Thursday, May 18, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierrre and NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox announced a two-part initiative so this will never happen again.

1. NRA is asking every mayor and police chief in America to sign a pledge that says they will never forcibly disarm the law-abiding citizens of their town or city.
2. NRA will support the introduction of state and federal legislation that makes it a crime to forcibly disarm law-abiding citizens.


So does this mean that the NRA is against preemptive strikes in other countries?
