I am saddened. :( Oklahoma Guardsmen threatening to shoot americans.

Does anyone have information as to who is taking the guns? I've seen reports that say both 'police' and 'national guardsmen'.

I found this:

"On Thursday, in the city's well-to-do Lower Garden District, a neighborhood with many antebellum mansions, members of the Oklahoma National Guard seized weapons from the inhabitants of one home. Those who were armed were handcuffed and briefly detained before being let go."

From this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050909/ap_ ... ne_katrina

The sad part is that the Garden District (I have an Aunt who lives there) was high and dry with no damage or looting. My Aunt had received that word about her house and the surrounding area from a local fireman. Now the NOPD (and I guess the National Guard) is going around breaking down the doors and confiscating weapons. They are doing more damage to the area than what was already done. More damage both physically, and constitutionally. Go figure.

Seems like this is a state issue right now. It started with the NOPD and the National Guard seems to have joined in on the fun. The Guard is under control of the Governor so it is the state and the city doing the confiscating. The feds seem to be just watching. My fear is that this will become a justification for future confiscations.
