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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
