Forty states have laws that prohibit the seizure of guns during emergencies, six states have laws that allow such seizures, and four states and the District of Columbia have no such laws on the books. These laws largely passed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall on August 29, 2005. The 37 states that we are certain passed their laws after Katrina are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
New Orleans police confiscated an estimated 1,200 guns. A week after the Hurricane’s landfall, New Orleans police superintendent Edwin P. Compass III made a widely publicized call for blanket confiscation: “Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons.” As the New York Times reported: “no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns, or other firearms of any kind.” Private security guards were exempted from the policy.

Hmmm. Well, the NV legislature is in session so I may have some concerns about that issue. :-)
Where in the constitution u tion does it state that we lose our second amendment rights In emergencies?
Co. Ill. NM. MD. And NE all confiscate
I’d love to see the look on my county Sheriff’s face when he gets the call, “Hey, you know that emergency that you have your deputies on overtime for? Well, we want you to drop all that and pick up everybody’s guns.” Yeah, Skippy, we’ll get right on that...
Maybe that is a reason GOD sent me from my beloved New Mexico and Colorado to the Ozarks.
Could be. Divine providence.
We’re in an emergency right now due to the wuhanvirus
So, no gun confiscations in those 40 states.
But then during hurricane Katrina the NOLP went around grabbing guns.
So just have your spouse hire you as their own Private Security.
When the Biden / Harris administration starts confiscating citizens firearms, even in the states that have a law that prohibits citizen’s gun confiscation in an emergency, who is going to stop them? Maybe the person who is getting their guns taken can stand their ground for a few seconds but we all know how that scenario will end.
All the politicians have to do is say we are now involved in a "War On X" and they're good to go in terms of limiting or abolishing our rights.
Well, as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn pointed out, if people would fight back, the state would very quickly run out of agents to send out on the tasks. The first 1% to 3% of the Rebels would suffer greatly for sure. No one wants to be that first 1% to 3%. If the state pushes past that line, though, it will run in to people that will fight back, and that will only embolden more and more to fight back.
HAHAHAHA. And the first amendment protects freedom of assembly. See how easy that went away?
Nowhere
Ohio and Nebraska, y’all need to get that straightened out. The others are blue states so I expect nothing better from them.
and to self promote my handle:
"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it".. Thomas Jefferson
Or if you want a more modern call to repel these treasonous bastards, use Murphy's rules for combat.
When in doubt, empty the magazine
The governor of Maine said she could nullify any law or create any law. All she had to do was say it was an emergency.
A lot of NOPD went over the hill. Outsiders were brought in. I remember hearing the comment “You think they came all that way NOT to shoot somebody?”
Many of the states changed their laws after Katrina (2005) and the federal statue, the Stafford Act, was updated in 2007 if memory serves.
