Someone needs to file an emergency action in federal court for a restraining order.
This is why you separate your caches and keep a throwaway cache of junk to dutifully hand over.
That is so not right, it being a US territory. Who will step in and protect the citizens’ rights?
What, you’re trying to say the Constitution is still in force even when the weather is bad? That’s pretty radical, isn’t it?

THIS is why no should ever register anything. If they know you have it, they will want it.
THIS is why right thinking people are opposed to gun registration laws.
Should be passing out the guns to maintain law and order in time of need.
The island of St Croix has been a mess since the big oil refinery shut down. IIRC the gun registry was used as a means for criminals to acquire guns. They were somehow able to access the information...
Well since I don’t have any guns or knives......I guess they would leave me alone..............
Of course the idea that encouraging armed citizens to cooperate with the police and guard in maintaining law and order could be a benefit never occurs to statist would be despots like this puke of a governor.
Not true. Was mistranslated.
I’d eliminate the governor as soon as that order was given.
I would bug out immediately with my sniper rifle, after having deployed my lethal booby traps that will kill anyone busting into my house. (play stupid games, win stupid prizes, play the obey-an-illegal-order-game and your prize will be dying from a booby trap after you kick a door in)
Then I’d make my way to the governor, and then show what happens to those who give the illegal orders. I would consider an order as such given to be a declaration of hostilities by the governor requiring me to withdraw my consent to be governed.
