Because it is a wonderful excuse that makes "a lot of sense" to the sheeple and the complaints will not be heard under the blanket of constant looping pictures of destroyed property.

Google "Hurricaine Katrina", and you will find more than you ever thought you would be able to find on the web. For starters, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina

Then google gun confiscation, and you hair will catch fire. For starters, http://gunowners.org/notb.htm

What really worries me in this context is that having a LTCF is supposed to "allow" someone to "carry" during a state of emergency. Yet I am certain there will be plenty of officers around that know better. The question is, do we have to consider those still law enforcement or terrorists?

Wasnt Blackwater also involved in the firearms confiscation? I dont believe blame can be wholly laid at the door of the National Guard.

Its hard to believe. I had to see it on tape to understand the lengths they were going through to disarm people.
