The one thing liberals and conservatives have been able to agree on with regard to the Katrina disaster is that the government stinks.
The Mayor of New Orleans stinks, Governor Blanco stinks, and the federal government's response was also quite unpleasant to our olfactory senses.
But the crazy thing about government is that no matter how badly they destroy everything they touch, the solution is always the same: more government, more regulation, and more restrictions on individual liberty.

If Nagin and Compass and crew knew for sure that a conservative or libertarian in their government structure, or anyone, would do whatever is necessary to prevent their illegal actions when they were announced... but compromise and getting along are more important, apparently, than defending essential liberty. Did anyone in authority even object verbally?
We see how the forces of disarmament "compromise": "Give me your guns, and I'll let you keep your life."
More enabling by neo-conservatives.

What it all comes down to when anyone carrying badges or wearing large yellow acronyms on their "tactical" ensemble' shows up for YOUR weapons, is simply this:
What are you prepared to do? You have two choices: A - Determine life is more precious than liberty and give them what they want. B - Give them what they want, ammunition first.
Simple choices - both with repercussions to be felt by posterity.
Patrick Henry said it better: "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

"...Never the types for narcissism or nuance, our Founding Fathers said, "Hey, why don't we just let people who don't break the law keep and bear arms whenever they see fit?"
Actually, they didn't qualify it to merely the law-abiding. Even criminals have the right to bear arms; of course, after they do something criminal we toss them in the pokey, but that's later.
And when they get out, having 'paid their debt to society' then they're people again and should -still- have the right to be armed.
Am I being too 'fundamentalist'?
