IT'S AGAINST THE LAW not against the Constitution technically speaking but I have no doubt that LA had state laws regarding when it is and it is not okay to do this.
See that's called an acknowledgement that I understand the 2nd amendment is NOT what makes gun ownership legal.
Here's a hint: I'm a civil libertarian. We do not use nor have ever used, in fact we advocate NOT using the 2nd amendment to promote the right of gun ownership.
I personally look to state laws regarding the matter of individual firearm rights and ownership
Technically speaking however, if a large group of them formed a "well regulated militia" and were used by the governor well technically THAT situation could fall under the blanket of the 2nd amendment. .
Secondly, so the state of Lousiana does not allow law abiding citizens to own weapons in their own homes? This is what I am pointing to.
By the way the state of Lousiana in fact allows law abiding citizens to purchase rifles, shotguns, and handguns WITHOUT a permit even. Permits are only required to carry concealed. There is no justification to confiscate firearms in a person's home under any circumstances.
Okay so it's a state of emergency fine. Therefore, the solution is to confiscate legally owned firearms from a person's home, but rich people who hire fully automatic weapon toting mercs can keep their private armies armed to the teeth?
THAT IS WRONG no matter how ignorant a view you have on firearms.
Now maybe if they outright said "Give us your guns when the shit is no longer hitting the fan you may have them back" that's something I would find far more reasonable of an implementation especially if gun related deaths had occurred, but what is correctly happening is unacceptable.
