'No consequences' Lt. Gov slams refused gun charges in Lundi Gras arrests

NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana's Lt. Governor slammed the prosecutors’ decision to refuse charges against almost two dozen individuals who were arrested in New Orleans on Lundi Gras.
Court documents revealed that the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office refused charges in 19 cases, including 15 cases against individuals accused of illegally carrying weapons. In an interview with on Eyewitness Morning News on Wednesday, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser panned the decision to refuse charges as removing consequences for criminals.
“There’s no consequences. They go out and buy another gun,” Nungesser said. “Shame on the people that let them go. When they kill someone, because they will, because they had no consequences for carrying a gun in the first place.”
One of those cases was against LSU football star Malik Nabers who was accused of illegally carrying a weapon on Bourbon Street. At Nabers’ first court appearance on Mardi Gras, an attorney with the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office refused charges on the condition that the gun was not returned to Nabers.

I'd need ore context for those whose charged were dropped. Priors/what they were doing when caught, etc.

Good. It shouldn't be against the law to practice your second amendment rights.

It must be election season. Billy hasn’t said shite in years. This isn’t a new issue.

Good. This is a 2A win.

If they're not disqualified for ownership, no harm-no foul.

How did they know these people had guns? Same thing happened in Laffy.

Odd to hear the Lt. Gov. in charge of tourism that is running again for his current seat to send a message like this that would more often come from a Gov contender

Did they commit a crime with said gun? Were they being belligerent? Or did the simply not have a piece of paper? If they had it open carried, would it have been an issue (I get the parade factor, but it's New Orleans. I don't blame anyone for being strapped.
The problem isn't people having guns.
It's that there is a disgustingly violent (recklessly and needlessly) subculture that is so wanton and destructive in their killing they care nothing of the effects on innocent bystanders.
They are the problem, not the guns. It's the morons. And then they are released from jail, with no rehabilitation, after a very short time.
And then go right back to violence.
But yeah, blame people who's only real crime was exercising their right to the second amendment.

If the legally owned the gun, but were somehow carrying it illegally, this is bullshite.
If the gun was stolen, this is bullshite.
Meanwhile, if you're a member of the severely understaffed NOPD and you make an illegal firearm arrest, it's got to be demoralizing to see the charge dismissed the next day.
But it's bullshite to confiscate someone's gun when you've got the leverage of OPP vs freedom. The solid citizens just had an involuntary tax assessed on them in the form of the price of their pistol. The fricking hoodrats will just break more truck windows until they find a replacement.
PS - Billy Nungesser is a fat, thieving retard. His heart attack or stroke can't come soon enough.

Why doesn’t Nungesser support unfettered Second Amendment rights?

Of all of the lack of prosecutions in New Orleans and the dismissed cases at the discretion of the DA and because of his mistakes, I must admit that this is the one that bothers me the least.
Posted on 2/23/23 at 12:03 pm to John88
Wait, if they aren't charging you and holding your property, isn't that basically theft?
Posted on 2/23/23 at 12:09 pm to John88
Why is it that the Democrats on the one hand always demand more strict gun laws but Democrat prosecutors then refuse to enforce the very gun laws they wanted on the books. Someone explain this to me.

He's doing his new buddy Landry a favor. Can't have Landry be seen as anti-2A.

Wasn’t the issue with Malik that he was concealed carrying? If that’s the case, I’m fine with the charges being dropped since they are ridiculous to begin with. You have a constitutional right to have a gun but you can’t hide it?
Now if it was an illegal gun, then charge him.
Now if it was an illegal gun, then charge him.

I got feeling there may have been some 4th Amendment infractions involved in discovering the guns.
