Virgin Islands Allows National Guard To Seize Guns, Ammo Ahead Of Hurricane Irma
This is not a hijack of the Irma-hysteria thread (plenty to discuss there), but rather where does the VI National Guard get the right to do this:
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/05/vi...urricane-irma/
===============================================
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.

Unconstitutional bullshit.
A Republic, if you can keep it.

Re: Virgin Islands Allows National Guard To Seize Guns, Ammo Ahead Of Hurricane Irma
saw this on another forum, which also had the "order" posted. Not a lawyer or an English major but it sounded like the Nat Guard could confiscate pretty much anything it needed. Not a blanket order to confiscate all guns from all gunowners, if my reading comprehension is any good......
Let's go Brandon!!!

They're a U.S. Territory. I don't think the constitution applies to those motherfuckers

"Any other property" in that EO might be the worst part.
I'm assuming tractors, dozers, backhoes, irrigation pumps, large generators, construction tools, off-road trucks, stockpiles of food and medicine would be very important in the aftermath rescue and recovery effort. Those items sound alot like "any other property", don't they.
Imagine using that equipment to dig out your neighboorhood, and the gov't rolls up and decides "they" need it elsewhere and seize it. What do you do?
