After witnessing a rise in the number of murders committed in 2016 and a steep uptick in gun violence this year, the NOPD is taking steps to turn things around. Just weeks after unveiling a new $40 million plan to address the city’s crime problem in the French Quarter and throughout the city, NOPD officials announced last week the creation of a new unit aimed at addressing the rise in gun violence. At a press conference Monday, NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters that the new unit — which currently consists of eight officers and one sergeant — will focus on those who carry and use illegal guns. |

This is the same NOPD who unlawfully disarmed everyone post-Katrina, right?
Oh, yeah... you should trust them NOW. [eyecross] |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
