Nope.
You try that and you’re gonna get the firing end of my muzzle.
Great place NOT TO LIVE.
I suppose this will prevent injuries to all the looters once the storm blows over. All those locals out there stealing each others corrugated tin to rebuild with and all.......
We ain’t they.
I know it happened in N.O. during Katrina, but I don’t see that happening in FL or TX.
I had an in-law in my former marriage who lived in Christiansted on St. Croix. She came back right after Hurricane Hugo ripped the island a new one in late 1989 and had a VHS video shot by a college student visiting his parents. One of the most telling scenes on the hour plus long tape was a shot of owners of a grocery store standing on the flat roof of their property after the storm passed. Almost every commercial property on the island was looted by the indigenous descendants of slaves except for this store which was owned by Pakistanis. There were about twelve Paki males on the roof keeping watch with AK 47’s. There was a crowd of din-du’s in the parking lot but they never attempted to breach the building for the free stuff.
Time to go fishing and “ lose them in the lake “
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
Rules are different for territories than states.
Who knew the National Guard fought off hurricanes with private citizen’s guns?
I thought this was settled after New Orleans illegally confiscated guns during Katrina.
‘.....allowing the seizure of private guns, ammunition, explosives and property the National Guard may need to respond to Hurricane Irma.”
He ran as an Independent, but he governs like a Democrat.
CONFISCATION! This is why all REAL Americans now put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!
I got suckered in by that headline too. Then, I did something that is taboo amonst us here. I actually READ the article CAREFULLY.
If you do that, you find the words “IF NECESSARY” buried deep. In other words, if they NEED your guns, they will TAKE them. And your house too, IF NEEDED.
Now, I can’t imagine the N.G, being short on weapons, but hey, stranger things have happened. Under marshal law, the gobmint will simply TAKE whatever it thinks it needs.
So, the headline is a trifle misleading.
With this much lead time, mandatory evacuations are very reasonable, if done in an orderly manner.
1) Direct all hospitals, nursing homes, and other care facilities, to provide rosters of those who may need evacuation assistance. Send lots of people door to door to inquire as to anyone that might need help. Set up medical hard shelters out of the disaster area with personnel and supplies for these people.
2) Organize all towing companies to position vehicles and drivers along the evacuation routes, with orders that any vehicle breakdowns be towed off the highway.
3) Direct evacuations by license plate letters (which tend to be location based), so that those most at risk leave first, and their areas are then policed by national guard.
Each subsequent location evacuates in turn.
4) Cities and counties set up phone banks to robocall everyone in the area with critical information, and button push to call for assistance.
5) Equip national guard with temporary cell phone towers that can be quickly set up in outage areas.

This is a declaration of martial law!

Where is President Trump and the NRA to denounce this????
WHY don’t they seize Bank Accounts while there at it?
Stupid question but is this not part of the United States? Does the Second Amendment not apply here? This is such an incredible overreach of government authority, who will be to blame if a government official or law-enforcement authority is injured or killed while trying to seize a private citizens lawfully owned guns? Will self defense apply?
Yeah right. Good luck with that!
That’s not happening in GA!
Thank goodness. I was worries, as you all were, too, that the NG would be unarmed when they stood on the beach and ordered Irma to stop.
Say, what?!? Any excuse to strike down the 2nd.
Unconstitutional.
No matter, by the time a judge rules it will all be over.
We MUST remove Sovereign Immunity from our laws and have a means to prosecute and imprison officials who break the law while carrying out their “duty”.
Whether a Governor or a Cop on the beat.
