OATH KEEPERS PROVE SOME TROOPS REFUSED TO CONFISCATE GUNS DURING KATRINA 2 of 5

BREAKING NEWS! Oath Keepers Proves That There WERE Troops Who Refused to Confiscate Guns During Katrina

OATH KEEPERS EXCLUSIVE

We know that wholesale gun confiscation happened during Hurricane Katrina. We watched the Chief of Police of New Orleans declare on national television that no one [no private citizen] will be able to be armed, were going to take all the weapons. We watched an old lady being tackled in her own kitchen and disarmed.

In fact, that atrocious event was one of the reasons I started Oath Keepers. But I also knew, from my service as an Army paratrooper, that there are men of courage, honor, and integrity in the military who would refuse to obey such orders. My goal with Oath Keepers is simply to increase their numbers and harden their resolve. But when it came to Katrina, we did not have concrete proof that some said no until now.

A Stand-Up Example from Katrina Emerges

This past week, on Friday May 14, 2010, I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Sgt. Joshua L. May of the Utah National Guard who told me how he, along with the majority of the men in his unit, refused to participate in any gun confiscation while deployed to assist during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

I finally discovered Sgt. May and his story only because after a speech I gave in Logan Utah on May 13, 2010, a local resident, Farley Anderson, walked up and told me about what Sgt. May had done. Upon hearing of it, I knew I just had to talk to him, so I had Mr. Anderson track down Sgt. Mays number and I called him at 11pm and invited him to breakfast the next morning. Until that night, Sgt. May hadn't even heard of Oath Keepers (which is ironic since he is a shining example of an oath keeper). We met for the first time that next morning, Friday, May 14, 2010. During breakfast, Sgt. May told me his story, and then I asked him if we could go outside and do an interview in the restaurant parking lot. He agreed that his story needed to be told and the below video is the result.

I'd love to see Sergeant May go on a tour of Washington DC as a Congressman. Long live the Republic and G*d bless all Patriots.

Why are the guys who "get it" always balding? Is it their high level of testostorone running through their vains? I "get it" but I also have a healthy head of hair-No receding hairline & No thining . Its grows in really think too.The women I have dated have always said I have the greatest hair they have ever seen.And, they always love to run their fingers through it when we are making love. Women love guys w/ great f hair. I kinda wish more guys were balding if it meant they were awake though.

Read the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, the Federalist Papers, Geo Washington's Farewell Address, Bastiat's essay The Law. When you know this is a republic (rule of law) not a democracy (mob rule) you understand what we are to be. RESTORE AMERICA 2012 RON PAUL 'There are two ways to conquer a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by DEBT." John Adams 2nd Pres of US. We are under siege. We need a new kind of President one who is on the side of the PEOPLE: Ron Paul

Thank You Sgt May. It goes against everything America stands for to confiscate civilians firearms.

@frankenfoamy If you find him, hang him. No Mercy.

[vsnips]

Much respect for guys like this

[haleyvillelady]

I support the troops like this, those who know what their oath entails. If an American troop does not follow his or her oath, then I do not support them, nor will I ever support them. I will never support foreign troops on our land, nor will I obey any order given me by them, or an American soldier or police officer, if it is unconstitutional. Tyranny is evil, and will I will never support it.

May God bless all of you, God country(people)

May God watch over you.

A lot of veterans are ADAMENT private gun owners. That airborne guy he ran into in New Orleans is a perfect example.

Apparently there are very few oath keepers in the armed forces,or there would be a lot more larkins, Unless they are not living up to both oaths.
