Lousiana

[LCPL 4]

Just got an email. Looked it up and it's the real deal ...

Louisiana: The Legislature will convene for its 2007 Regular Session on Monday, April 30. Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-New Orleans) has introduced HB 869 which establishes far-reaching restrictions on semi-automatic firearms (dubbing them "assault weapons") and large-capacity magazines. HB 869 affects every firearm modified to conform with the now-extinct federal gun ban plus other semi-automatic firearms that have no lineage to those rifles or any military-style orientation whatsoever. Like the federal gun ban which sunset in 2004, it is no more than a ban on cosmetic attachments that have nothing to do with the action of the firearm or the speed at which it discharges rounds. But unlike the previous federal law, which banned the manufacture and sale of specific firearms to civilians after the effective date of the act, HB 869 would require current owners of such firearms to register them with the State Police, obtain and renew a license annually to keep them, restrict how and where they may be used or transported, and allow the State Police to inspect private homes for compliance. HB 869 has been referred to the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee.

"allow the State Police to inspect private homes for compliance"

No effing way!

What if the unfortunate citizen of Lousiana stores the guns in a storage shed in another state? That should be out of their juristiction. Or do they consider the citizen of their state their property so they would still demand a license to be renewed annually even for out of state guns. Basically I am wondering if the cops show up at the persons door and they got a answer back that the guns are being stored in lets say Idaho, would that Lousiana citizen suddenly be in lots of trouble.

I'll not hide my guns in another state. They want afight, get a few thou gun owners to gether on the capital steps and tell them to leave you alone, legal gun owners are not the problem. Tell them to go after the damn criminals and lock them up for a while and see what happens.

It would suck to do it, but they only understand simple things.

Except they would have a no knock warrant and bust the door down at 4 a.m. to "inspect" the house.

Just make sure you don't have any thing laying around like wire, batteris, powder, and pieces of pipe or they will charge you with having bomb making materials.
