Legally held firearms confiscation in New Orleans during Katrina

During Katrina in New Orleans, LA:

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:

"No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns."

Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them.

Proponents of gun registrations say that gun owners should have nothing to fear because the government will never storm in and take all their guns. This is a chilling counterexample.
