NRA on the Attack

Via Instapundit comes this report out of New Orleans:

The National Rifle Association has hired private investigators to find hundreds of people whose firearms were seized by city police in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, according to court papers filed this week.

The NRA is trying to locate gun owners for a federal lawsuit that the lobbying group filed against Mayor Ray Nagin and Police Superintendent Warren Riley over the city's seizure of firearms after the Aug. 29, 2005, hurricane.

Say what you want about the NRA on some issues, I don't see the more strident gun rights groups doing this. I doubt they have the resources.
