Why don't they just quit screwing around and just push to banish the entire U.S. constitution?

Here is what a faithful public servant should say:

"During states of emergency, I think" CITIZENS NEED TOTAL CONTROL OF THEIR GOVERNMENT.

"If the governor calls for Oklahomans to relinquish their guns, the public needs to" TAKE AIM AND OPEN FIRE!

"During states of emergency, I think police need total control. They don't need to worry who has guns and who doesn't. If the governor calls for Oklahomans to relinquish their guns, the public needs to do so."


If the Governor of California had this right during the LA riots, the chief of police would have his cops take the guns from the /Korean store owners and not the rioters.


Why? Because at the next press conference, the pols could point at a stack of weapons and declare "If these weapons were still on the streets, the riots would have been WORSE had they not taken such prompt action.



And of course the law abiding Koreans would be easier targets than REAL criminal street thugs.

"Rep. Shelton is not only in favor of disarming law-abiding citizens, using a natural disaster as an excuse to take their firearms," Gottlieb noted, "he's also opposed to legislation that protects citizens who stand their ground against criminal attack. His philosophy seems to be one of surrender and submission, leaving me to wonder just whose side he is on."

      A law outlawing gun confiscation should be unnecessary, if the Constitution meant anything today, but ...

      Mike Shelton is a democrat from Oklahoma City.  2Jedismom, this looks like it could use an Oklahoma ping.

"Said Shelton: "During states of emergency, I think police need total control. They don't need to worry who has guns and who doesn't. If the governor calls for Oklahomans to relinquish their guns, the public needs to do so."

This fella thought of that first.
