Police Seizing All Guns

Police Seizing All Guns

Let's see here. The police were helping in the post-flood looting, and now the police are grabbing guns from homeowners who are trying to protect themselves. Says the NYT: "no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns, or other firearms of any kind."

The police super says: "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons." New principle concerning what distinguishes the law from the criminals: criminals don't usually give press interviews.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
