The Great New Orleans Gun Grab

I recently finished reading The Great New Orleans Gun Grab: Descent Into Anarchy by Gordon Hutchinson and Todd Masson. To give you an idea of how interesting this book is, I finished all 190 pages PLUS the Appendix materials in just under three hours. Both Hutchinson and Masson are professional writers, and they do an excellent job conveying a story that is fascinating, frightening, horrifying, and often, beyond belief. I found myself muttering, numerous times, "Certainly this did not happen in the United States." Well, it did happen. And every gun owner owes it to himself to at least know the story of Katrina and the complete failure of law enforcement vis-a-vis the law-abiding gun owner. "Descent into Anarchy" is a mild description of what happened. The Great New Orleans Gun Grab is not a gun show "meat and potatoes" manifesto full of wild conspiracies and extremists views. In the words of the folks who suffered through the injustices, the actions of our elected government are laid bare for all to inspect. It is not anti-police nor anti-government; it is pro-truth. And the truth will enrage you...BFA
