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.
Mapp signed the order Monday in preparation for Hurricane Irma. 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.
Mapp issued an emergency declaration Tuesday and mobilized National Guard units to prepare for the massive storm.
“This is not an opportunity to go outside and try to have fun with a hurricane,” Mapp said. “It’s not time to get on a surfboard.”
Irma strengthened to a Category 5 storm Tuesday, with wind gusts hitting 175 miles an hour. Irma’s eye is expected to pass just north of the heart of the U.S. Virgin Islands on Wednesday and bring four to eight inches or rain and 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts.

The National Hurricane Center is calling the storm “extremely dangerous.” Weather forecasters say Irma is headed towards the Florida coastline, and should bring devastating conditions to the region in the next four or five days.
GOP Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló both declared states of emergencies in anticipation of Irma.
Scott said President Donald Trump “offered the full resources of the federal government as Floridians prepare for Hurricane Irma.”
Just spoke to @POTUS – he offered the full resources of the federal government as Floridians prepare for Hurricane Irma.

Irma comes more than one week after Hurricane Harvey brought devastating floods to the greater Houston area.

All guns are supposed to registered in the VI, so they'll come for the copsuckers' first.

We'll have to wait and see if Katrina style gun confiscations happen in Florida. The fact that they didn't happen in Houston is an encouraging precedent. (2 images)

Be interesting to see how this rolls out.

Texas cannot be compared to very many other states.

There is actually a good point towards government intervention based upon misterwhite's reflection in other posts: "government is always good."
I am always proud when a poster hits a home-run such as, charge a registered nurse for doing her job within an insane nation that has no values, morals, ethics or character. I am thrilled with misterwhite's candid opinions.

charge a registered nurse for doing her job
Sorry, her job description does not include obstructing a police officer while performing his lawful duty. That will get you arrested every time.

You have a bug in your brain to have created the post just above. You are fucking WEIRD.

I found this little drama very edifying.
It is beneficial for the public at large to witness a SUCCESSFUL and NON- VIOLENT OBSTRUCTION OF INJUSTICE.
Because injustice rears its head with regularity, it must be - and must be seen to be - stuffed back into its little box from time to time just to keep things in balance.
This struggle never ends.

This also happened to the people during Hurricane Katrina.

Yes, gangs of lawless government goons roamed the streets and went door to door, stealing guns.
In other news....

At 3:55 he ask is the IRS a legitimate government entity? The answer is "No". If one were to look inside the Table of Contents of any United States Code which may be found in any law library (preferably those dating back prior to year 2000) you will notice listed all the government agencies and that several of them have an asterisk next to them. It means they are not legitimate entities at all. They exist as non-positive entities.
BTW, this video is spot on about many issues he brings up about the existance of the Constitution. If it is dead to the letter than so are the people. Then the next question is "Who are the people" referred to in this Constition? Each State has their own Constitution that is supposed to be concomitant to the U.S. Constitution provided that the federal constitution does not superceed state laws and their constitutions which would violate the Tenth Amendment.
