99 is for you also
So what. Just because other entities have the law doesn't make it right.
Can you show me abuse associated with this?
I believe the argument was because of the potential for abuse, but if you want an example just look at the various cops confiscating citizens firearms in the aftermath of Katrina. or furthe back in time when the LA police confiscated the business owners weapons (but oddly enough not the gang memebers weapons) during the LA riots.
And this is for you....
(_?_)
Whatever the situation is with weapons, that can be settled in the courts. But it is a fact that catastrophes bring out the looters and they are often armed.
So show me where Ma and Pa Public had their generator confisticated by the state.
Is that your best reply? Hah hah hah hah hah. Gotcha.
Let's see.
Either your mommy isn't home and doesn't know you're on her computer, or your really a two year old who wears big britches and is slobbering on the keyboard for lack of anything better to do.
I'm betting it's the latter...
BTW..'Gotcha' is a 'relative term' as I'm sure your government heroes have pointed out to you repeatedly.
But that's ok. You just go right on ahead and push that 'communism will work given enough time' crap.
I'm sure you'll convince someone eventually.
It just won't be me, or many, if any, people here.
Bye now.
You have a nice nap and I'm sure you'll feel better in the morning.
Or maybe not.
Hah hah hah
Actually, rumor has it that Kennedy had numerous assignations. Only one assassination, however...
I can't believe you actually think this is a good thing........
Property is property.
I am no longer surprised to see this embrace of the nanny-state. I am, however, still sickened by it.
As others have pointed out on this thread, this has little to do Ma and Pa public and most to do with equipment in stores or a warehouse for temporary shelter.
Let me help you here.
The existence of this law is abuse.
BTTT
Show you what? that a generator costs $1000 , a gun cost $1000 etc. ?
this has little to do Ma and Pa public and most to do with equipment in stores or a warehouse for temporary shelter
Oh so it's ok to take the property of corporations - like their stockholders aren't people?
hehehe,,Even us ole' dumb folks in Louisiana won't fall fer that Crap.
I'm sickened by the number of people on THIS sight who embrace it.
The real article contradicts you.
That could possibly put a "monkey wrench" in their agenda.
Anyone who truly owns something and has a life as an individual ALWAYS worries.
I guess you all missed the part where I said I thought it unconstitutional. What I was pointing out was the discrepancy between what was being discussed and reported in the linked article vs the original article. Personally I think it is ridiculous how we have let our government grow. An emphasis on personal preparedness and responsibility is the way to go. They used to teach stuff like that in civics class. A more logical response would be for whoever is in charge of local cleanup/recovery etc to ASK someone if they can help out or loan equipment. Good citizens step up and help their neighbors and there is no need for laws like these.
