Injunction issued in New Orleans gun confiscation case...

According to an email alert, the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation have joined forces to file a lawsuit and obtain an injunction prohibiting the confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens in New Orleans. Here's the scoop:

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana this afternoon issued a temporary restraining order on behalf of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and National Rifle Association (NRA), bringing an end to firearm seizures from citizens living in and around New Orleans.

District Judge Jay Zaney issued the restraining order against all parties named in a lawsuit filed Thursday by SAF and NRA. Defendants in the lawsuit include New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Police Chief Edwin Compass III.

Obviously, I'll be following this case as closely as I can once I can find a way to obtain related documents. Given the mess that Louisiana is in at the moment, that may take a while. This promises to be a very interesting case, however.

UPDATE: Here's a press release from the NRA.

UPDATE: You may want to donate to the Second Amendment Foundation to help their efforts on this case.
