Wayne LaPierre and the NRA "outraged" at gun ban in emergency housing parks

oferchrissake... how in the world did fools get so much clout...? cuz we let 'em, i guess...

Amid complaints from gun-rights groups, FEMA said Wednesday it is reconsidering a ban on firearms at emergency housing parks built in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

"Whether it's a national disaster, whether it's by nature like Katrina, or a flu pandemic or an earthquake, the Constitution can't be thrown out the window," said NRA leader Wayne LaPierre.

He said the NRA was outraged, and he warned that the organization would take its case all the way to Congress and president.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office had asked that guns be banned at the encampment because the trailers are close together and have thin walls, according to spokesman Deputy Fred Raiford.

"If a gun was discharged in any of those trailers, it probably would go through three or four other trailers before it stopped," Raiford said.

why aren't they hollering about not being able to take a firearm on an airplane...? or into a hospital...? or a crowded shopping mall...? oh, 'scuse me... i guess you can if you've got the right permits... ~sheesh~ message: don't leave home without it...
