NRA pushes Katrina gun legislation

Post by Tither »

Link The start of hurricane season has become a selling point
for gun-rights legislation spurred by Hurricane Katrina.
“There’s very strong support for the legislation in both parties,” Jindal said. “The odds are … very good that it will pass the House and the Senate.”

“When you’re in one of those tragic situations, when there’s no 911, it’s up to you to defend your life and the life of your family.” Gun-control advocates say the post-Katrina problems were blown out of proportion and dismissed the push for legislation. Joshua Horowitz, director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said there is a lack of evidence showing post-Katrina residents of New Orleans were under grave danger without their firearms.
