*SEE UPDATE AT END OF COLUMN*

“U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp signed an emergency order allowing the seizure of private guns, ammunition, explosives and property the National Guard may need to respond to Hurricane Irma,” Michael Bastasch reported Tuesday at The Daily Caller.  “The order allows the Adjutant General of the Virgin Islands to seize private property they believe necessary to protect the islands, subject to approval by the territory’s Justice Department.”

“The Adjutant General is authorized and directed to seize arms, ammunition, explosives, incendiary material and any other property that may be required by the military forces for the performance of this emergency mission, in accordance with the Rules of Force promulgated by the Virgin Islands National Guard and approved by the Virgin Islands Department of Justice,” Mapp declared in his order issued Monday.

  1. I remember this in New Orleans, confiscating law abiding
    peoples guns who just wanted to protect their person, family,
    and property. Some of the guns stolen by the puppets were
    old antique guns. At the same time, there were hundreds of
    savages all over the place with stolen guns from Walmart,
    ( first place they headed )and other places, killing,
    robbing, killing firemen rescuing people. But, I never
    read anything about the puppets going after these guns.
    Who were they protecting? The criminals? We capitulate
    every time to their whims and do as we are told. No
    matter how unjust the act of which they ask of us or ordered
    of us. We do.

  2. Really and I particularly remember the elderly lady they took one from. Infuriating.

  3. If more storm troopers got shot for violating people's Constitutional rights, it would definitely send the right message.

  4. After Katrina The Commonwealth of Kentucky passed a law making fire arms confiscation in an "emergency" a felony, and giving the people of the Commonwealth the RIGHT to shoot any government "officer" who try's. Be they local, state or federal. They also all but ended the use of "SWAT" team's for, "warrant service". So what happened? Most murders now only take place in Democrat controlled Louisville and Democrat controlled Lexington, and 99% of them are black on black Ghetto murders. Where I live, In a 99% white community 30 miles outside Louisville 90% or more of all households own guns and vote Republican. We have had ONE killing in the last 35 years. An ex wife shot her drunken and abusive ex who broke into her house. Must be because all those white people are so violent. If y'all living in the Damnyankie holes that outlaw your G_D ordained Liberty, would decorate the trees with the body's of tyrants more often. You'd have less of this to report.--Ray

  5. Regardless of the Governor's true intentions, it sure sounds like an opportunity to permanently seize all firearms and ammunition. This is one of the reasons the NRA is so opposed to firearm registration.

      For sure.

  6. Not to sound like the conspiracy nut I am, but I am so glad I own so many legacy guns. Also, so many of my guns were purchased over 25-years ago, or from private sales. I have a gun case, where I proudly display three shotguns, four rifles, and two pistols. In the cabinet below I have ammunition for all the weapons shown. These are the guns I have purchased in the last 10-years or so from gun dealers. Wearing my tin-foil-hat I honestly believe these guns are on a government list. That is why they are displayed for confiscation.

    I also have about half my guns “hidden” in the back of closets, under the bed, and the normal places that would be searched. These also have some ammunition with them. The other half of my guns and most of my ammunition is secreted in walls, behind sheetrock. I opened several caches in closet walls, made racks for the guns and ammunition, inside the wall. Then sheetrocked the walls and painted them. There is no hidden door or hinges. I have to breakdown the wall for access. The downside is I don’t get to take them to the range and practice. The only other person that knows they are there is my wife. Not even my daughter knows.

    Yep, I’m tin-foil-hat crazy, but just because you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean people aren’t after you.

    1. Good deal, you can never have too many. I didn't go big until I realized that Obama might win, but my friend did when Clinton was elected. :) He put 50K rounds in the ground as well as much else.
