City of New Orleans vs the Second Amendment

Filed under: In other blogs...,In the News,Second Amendment — HDW @ 8:12 am

In a bizarre Second Amendment case the City of New Orleans has tried to have an NRA suit thrown out for “lack of jurisdiction”. Apparently they believe that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply in New Orleans or Louisiana. Cam Edwards is on the case.

The lawsuit against the city of New Orleans for its illegal confiscation of firearms is moving forward.

Judge refuses New Orleans’ request to dismiss NRA lawsuit.

The city asked the judge to dismiss the suit for lack of jurisdiction, saying “the states, and by extension their political subdivisions, are free to proscribe the possession of firearms.”

The court rejected the motion, ruling the city did nothing to back up “the brazen assertion” that the second amendment did not apply.

I see that Michelle Malkin is already on it too. – A Streetcar Named Beretta
