There are a lot of reasons to be upset with Nagin, but removing guns from homes isn't one of them. This is an issue for the gun-lovers, plan and simple, and not an issue for human-lovers.

I was part of an organized effort to bring food and clothes to New Orleans after the tragedy .. and after what I witnessed, this angst about guns seems really really silly to me .. but don't mind me .. I'm a human-lover.

I am ABSOLUTELY not a fan of guns - no siree bob. I AM a fan of the United States Constitution. If we say, "Well, it's Ok here" and rationalize it - that's a slippery slope. The US Constitution is probably one the the best documents that protects the inherent rights of humans. No law can be absolutely perfect all the time, but we are a country that operates under the principle of common law (thus, precedence is taken as a validation of further rationalizations for Constitutional violations). Not a good idea - leads to anarchy and the only ones to profit are attorneys.
