you really don't think it's a big deal that they are refusing to prosecute people for carrying illegal firearms during mardi gras?
But I'm asking questions.
Why are they "illegal?"
Are the guns stolen? Prosecute that.
Were they being brandished? Prosecute that
Were they threatening anyone, or behaving recklessly with the firearm? Prosecute that.
Were they a convicted felon in possession of a firearm? Prosecute that.
But If their only crime was that they had a firearm on their person at a parade...
Yeah, I'd be carrying too in New Orleans. Laws didn't stop those people from being shot and killed and never will.
Punish behavior, not possession.

Is it not common knowledge that it is illegal to conceal carry a gun at a parade?
The method they used to locate it is another issue, but they are breaking the law.
