They are not confiscating weapons in Biloxi. Nothing unusual is going on in Biloxi that hasn't gone on in Florida or in Xenia Ohio. They are not kicking in the doors of people whose homes were not damaged and stealing their weapons and bussing them to Montana.
What they are doing in New Orleans is... frightening.
I agree they are not doing it in Biloxi, but Biloxi did not have a follow on flood AND Biloxi was better handled. That's a fact.
Nonetheless, I have trouble with the confiscation of weapons. I don't accept Jude's notion that the citizen has a federal right to a gun but not a state right.
I guess I'll just let everyone know that's my federal rifle to go with my Federal slugs! :>)
