A Resolution on seizing firearms in New Orleans
Drafted by Joe Rogers (Ohio) Recommend by the Resolutions Committee
Passed by the Constitution Party National Committee on 16 Sep 2005
Whereas the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and
Whereas, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina there has been malicious and deliberate violation of this Constitutional right of the people of New Orleans, LA by military, law enforcement, and private contractor personnel acting under the authority and command of the President of these United States, the Governor of the State of Louisiana, and the Mayor of New Orleans, and
Whereas Biblical Justice requires that restitution be at least double for stealing property (Exodus 22),
Therefore, the Constitution Party absolutely condemns each and every occurrence of such infringement. The Constitution Party calls upon the President of these United States, the Governor of the State of Louisiana, and the Mayor of the city of New Orleans to do the following:
1) Publicly acknowledge their error for directing, approving, or permitting these unconstitutional actions against the people of New Orleans, and
2) Direct all personnel under their respective authority and command to immediately cease and desist from these unconstitutional actions against the people of New Orleans, and
3) Direct that each and every one of these confiscated firearms and ammunition be immediately returned to their rightful owners, and
4) Issue a public, written, apology to the victims of this unconstitutional action and pledge that they will never ever again under any circumstances during their tenure of office allow such action to be taken against the people of their respective jurisdictions, and
5) Make restitution to each and every victim by the appropriate element of government accountable for the offense. This restitution shall be a cash payment in the amount equal to the current fair market value of the item that was stolen by the unconstitutional activity.
