Federal bill to block confiscation during emergencies

Posted by David Hardy · 6 June 2006 10:09 AM

It's been reported out of committee. The Hill has the story.

And in case there's any doubt where some folks stand on the ultimate question of total confiscation:

"Joshua Horowitz, director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said there is a lack of evidence showing post-Katrina residents of New Orleans were under grave danger without their firearms. “There’s been a lot of hyperbole on this,” Horowitz said. “There’s evidence that the police were doing their job. It’s not for a gun control group or the NRA to get in there and make decisions."

That Horowitz quote is telling. Shouldn't the government have to prove a need before it violates an individual's rights? Not the other way around?
