There’s no way in hell I’d let them confiscate my firearms. At least not without a fight…
:mad: :mad: :mad:
Welcome to a “State of Emergency”.Wait until the president starts using his emergency powers in a major terrorist attack like a nuke. FWIU It’s not just that the Consitution forbids what he will probably do, it’s that he is going to do them regardless and you can try to sue him afterwards, if he lets you.
Isn’t NO under martial law? Or no?
So you can’t have a gun, but you can hire someone to have one for you? 
That’s a misnomer spread with the help of the media and scaremongering pols. Martial law is rule by military. Right now the SoE gives the governor extra powers and she tells the military what to do.
OMFG! You freaks crack me up. Oh no, wild bands of armed thugs are luteing (SP?) the fucking city. Yet you think it is a bad idea to take away their guns. NEFREITW (Not enough fucking roll eyes in the world) Let me know how that whole “They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hands” thing works out for you CrafterMan. The best thing about this so called gun confiscation thing is it is happening under a republican administration. You can bet their would be blood in the streets if a Dem was in office. You guys would be screaming about black helocopters and the New World Order.
PS I did not see anything about them rounding up fire arms that were not being displayed.
PPS Before you say it I am a combat veteran and happy gun owner. (So there)
You frighten me more than the government! So you’d shoot at **soldiers ** - who after all, are also doing a job - to defend your principle, in a state of emergency? When looting is *already * going on? Soldiers have wives, husbands, children, too! You might even know some of them.
Blanco is a Republican?
No but I think Bush claims to be one…Yea, I know he is not doing the confiscating but he is allowing this terrible injustice to continue. I mean can you imagine requesting that god fearing patriotic gun owners temporarily not walk around a disaster area with loaded fire arms. I mean really, who the hell do they think they are. I mean Crafterman and friends got rights…
The governor is the Commander of the National Guard at least until it is nationalized. But a state governor has no authority over Federal troops, emergency or no emergency. A govenor may request action which will probably be respected but has no power to give orders to Federal Troops.
I don’t understand how they can take legal firearms away from the owners, but allow someone who claims to be a “security guard” keep weapons. It should be all or nothing.
Down with Vivaldi and his wild bands of renaissance musicians!
What a hoot (Crap it is not even a difficult word. Please don’t tell Feydeau…)
I don’t care what kind of badges they’re wearing or what color their hats are… I’d defend myself against anyone trying to take my guns.
Just doing their jobs? Hmmm, where have I heard that one before… :rolleyes:
The troubadours have already won.
Isn’t that claim to being a security guard bolstered by a guard registration card, said card issued by the state government?
Good luck with that. It is easy to make such silly claims when not looking into the barrel of a Tank or an inbound F-16.
Wolverines!..
I don’t know how it works in LA, Monty, but the security gaurds I knew back in California had no special powers or credentials. To be an armed security gaurd, you needed a gun permit just like “normal” citizens.
As for taking away guns from looters, I’d be surprised if most of them were legally owned fire-arms. I wouldn’t be too surprised if they were aquired during said looting.
And as for the luteing, that’s what happens after years of watching sex and violins on TV. ([Emily Latella Voice] Sex and what? Oh. Nevermind[/ELV])
Peace - DESK
Yeah, those guns will be very useful to you after you’re dead. :rolleyes:
That’s the outfit that lost 4 in Fallujah. Are they really operating in New Orleans now?
