What is happening is exactly what the "tin-foil-hat" folks have been honking about for years. The JBT's come to your door, kick it in, confiscate your weapons and drag you off to a camp. If you resist, well, all bets are off.
Right out of "The Turner Diaries" - the "gun recovery units"....
Whatever else one might say about Mr. Pierce's book, he was dead-on in that prediction....

In any crisis which causes a mass-relocation of people, I can now easily see the police using the NOLA precedent to disarm the evacuees "for the general safety."
So when you do flee from the city for the hills, you will probably be guided through a checkpoint, where your guns will be confiscated.
Once the evacuees are disarmed, they will be turned into defenseless sheep, who are much easier for the govt to manage.
"Leave your car here."
"Get on the bus."
"Only one bag per person please, which fits on your lap."
"March into the stadium."
Amazing, is there any level on which this disaster has not been mismanaged?
The disarmament order is from the state/local lever right?
You don't need a tin foil hat...Just History. One of many
The Bonus Army.

In the summer of 1932, at the height of the Depression, some forty-five thousand veterans of World War I descended on Washington, D.C., from all over the country to demand the bonus promised them eight years earlier for their wartime service. They lived in shantytowns, white and black together, and for two months they protested and rallied for their cause—an action that would have a profound effect on American history.
President Herbert Hoover, Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur, and others feared the protesters would turn violent after the Senate defeated the "bonus bill" that the House had passed. On July 28, 1932, tanks rolled through the streets as MacArthur's troops evicted the bonus marchers: Newspapers and newsreels showed graphic images of American soldiers driving out their former comrades in arms. Democratic candidate, Franklin Roosevelt, in a critical contest with Hoover, upon reading newspaper accounts of the eviction said to an adviser, “This will elect me,” though bonus armies would plague him in each of his first three years.
