Wayne LaPierre was interviewed on 870 am radio (New Orleans) this morning. It was a great interview with calls taken from area residents.
Interesting notes from the radio show:
The NRA has a contempt of court action pending against the City for failure to return the confiscated weapons. The City has admitted to having these weapons.
Wayne noted that many of the insider tips coming to the NRA when this was happening was from LEO who were shocked at the order. Many LEO were hesitant to carry out the confiscation order. Some did not do it at all.
The actions of the Governor and City Leaders has hurt the efforts to restore the trust of the citizenship and has slowed money from Congress for the rebuild efforts.
It was agreed that the ACLU wasn't going to lift a finger to protect 2nd Amendment rights.
It was noted that minorities had a lot of weapons illegally confiscated. Wayne relayed the story were one (minority) woman said she only had a rifle and a Bible to protect herself from roving gangs and Police wanted the rifle. A heartfelt story.
Final note:
870am was running a poll asking if the confiscations were the right thing to do.
83% = no
17% = yes.
edit - updated poll numbers
