Several publications on the Internet have been examining the emergency proclamation of 11 March, and emergency proclamation of 16 March by Mayor LaToya Cantrell, of New Orleans, Louisiana. The claim seems to be that Mayor Cantrell is promoting restrictions on the ownership of guns and/or the exercise of Second Amendment rights. That claim is not justified by Mayor Cantrell's actions.
What mayor Cantrell did was to follow the law, nothing less, nothing more. |

‘Can’t argue with your analysis, Dean, but (justifiably) being the skeptical type, I think the key statement in your article is that “She is not a stupid politician.”
My take? Ideological, yes, stupid, not necessarily. I wish I shared your optimism.
I don’t trust most metropolitan mayors as far as I can throw them, for good reason.
The only way to control them is with strong state legislative preemption, in a state with a reliably conservative administration.
And even then, too many times they must be taken to court. |
