Ping.

If anyone can show me in the constitution where a hurricane or a flood gives the government the authority to wholesale confiscate the firearms of otherwise law abiding citizens, I'd like to see it.

Can't you read the Constitution? It's right there, next to the right to murder unborn children!

IMO, there is never justification for seizure of guns UNLESS the guy is shooting at authorities. It can't come under the due process section because guns are made a special case by the 2nd amendment.

Heads should roll on this one.

That's just it.

look at Crawford Texas.

Bush's neighbor blows off a little steam testing his guns on his own property. It is investigated, and the authorities leave because it was a legal act.

contrast that with a democratic run city and state, and you see who will break down doors of law abiding citizens with no warrants, and then illegally steal their guns.

Blanco needs to be arrested and charged.

It's in the Penumbra, as revised by FEMA.

I think it has something to do with "The Right to Privacy."

I'm finally starting to see the agenda behind morphing The Constitution into a "Living Document".

When it's a "Living" Document... they can kill it. And from the stuff I'm seeing on the news, I'd say they're laying the axe to the root even as we speak.

I can't even begin to wonder about the stuff we DON'T see on the news.
