Interesting priorities.

Peon: Cat 5 hurricane headed our way sir!
Governor: What?!? Seize all the guns and ammo!

 

[GOPerfect]

Do they have all of the protections of the US Constitution?

 

[Darth]

Are they going to shoot the hurricane out of the sky or something?

 

[Marine Cpl]

Do they have all of the protections of the US Constitution?

Yes.

 

[Phauxtoe]

Obama Appointee perhaps?

 

[Defilade]

I think they have much bigger fish to fry. That would be the last thing they should be worried about.

 

[Magnus]

I shot a CAT 1.3 out of the sky once.

 

[E the massive]

Hahaa thats going to be a shit show.

Apparently homeowners and store owners protecting their property are a bigger problem than the people who would loot them. Despite the considerable evidence of people exhibiting their best behavior after the storm in houston - why is the knee-jerk govt expectation that people will behave in the worst way? What sort of insight into the mind of the governor does this give us? He should be removed from his job.

As a US territory they do.

I bet Andy just got an idea. Just wait for the next time flurries are in the forecast.

 

[Calculon]

Where's the Trump DOJ when crap like this happens? Obummer had his people filing lawsuits immediately on anything they didn't like.

In which case Andy can kiss my ass.

THIS is why registration is always a bad idea.

Here in NY, because of our handgun registration database, Gov. Monkeyface knows exactly where to send his stormtroopers to "commandeer" necessary equipment.

 

[GOPerfect]

As a US territory they do.

I thought as much. I know they have no vote or say in the way our Government is run, just wasn't sure what Rights they had.

In that case, pure Bullshit. They will cave, none of them will fight this. Wonder how long before they get their guns back!?

Now that's a flurry!

The Governor's order does not mention "returning" anything...only seizing.

Figures. Democrats still taking firearms away from Blacks. The Democrats' Klan roots run deep.

Oh hell, me and ABGuy are good to carry there. All is well...

 

[Doc8404]

WTF are you all worried about? You must've missed this part. All is good.

"subject to approval by the territory’s Justice Department."

Like NYC, Mass, HI, Conn, Wahington DC, and CA another place I will not let the sun set on me.

Nah, We don't either.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"...territory's Justice Department"....."All is good." HAHAHAHA!

LOL!

Democrates...justice...same sentence....[falls to floor laughing hysterically]

Ever notice that an easy way to gauge a state's shittiness is to simply look at their gun laws? Makes one wonder.
