Katrina Gun Confiscations

i absolutely hate watching that video.


i have friends that were actually on ground during this....many had a very VERY hard time with this.

seriously, listening to them talk about it not only made me sick to my stomach but it was very obvious they were confused....


"taking firearms from people on US soil"

The thing that gets me the most about that video isn't even the terrified bureaucrats pushing it. It's the police and military executing orders that are in direct contravention to the US Constitution...

That was really messed up.

I am glad i have multiple plans in place for what ever kind of emergency/disaster that may happen.

If you do not know what the 7 Ps are, you should learn.

I just googled the 7 p's. Good advice however I got a good laugh when I read that the "mild explative" PISS shocked new recruits... Ha ha ha... The british are funny!

7 P's, that brings back memories from my OOORAHHH days.

Yeah, I don't doubt it. I saw this video awhile back and it stirred up all those uneasy feelings I had before.

They often say that we (in the PNW) are due for the big quake. Will this happen here? Will we let that happen here?

I would like to think not, but??????

"Letting" it happen might not be the way to look at it. Having 4-6 government representatives with full-auto weapons burst into your house, pointing them at your (and your family's) face isn't really "letting" anything happen. I mean I guess you could try and make a stand, but with what end in mind?

I have thought about this many times, and it is easy to say you would take a stand but when your facing a bunch of kids with uniforms, auto guns, and the "law" on there side is that really the end you want. Personally i would give whatever guns i have in plain sight or whatever guns they can find and live to fight another day. A few "hunting" rifles given up to save my defense weapons is worth it. Now with that said, I would be headed to my bug out locations ,painting my face getting ready for some ****

Would our LE act the same way? Is the PNW different then the South? Would the fact that the PNW is not as densely populated prove to be a serious issue for confiscation?

Hate even thinking about it....would always depend on the circumstances at the moment I guess. Fortunately I don't reside in a densely populated area and this stuff probably is more likely to occur in the heavy population centers.

Really wasn't thinking of myself as letting it happen...more along the way of "we", as in the community, which would include local LE's and all others sworn to uphold the constitution. I would hope that "we" in the PNW would be different. Pipe dream I know.....still doesn't hurt to hope.

To be clear, I wasn't insinuating you'd "let" it happen either. I was just pointing out how organized and aggressive a team of "grabbers" could/would be, based off what we just saw.

I happen to be in a populated area of King county, in the city with the largest number of police per capita. **shudder**

I honestly believe in more rural areas something like this wouldn't be doable. The task force would need to be much larger for each acquisition. The law of diminishing returns would come into play...

Has anyone done a survey amongst PNW LEOs and National Guard personnel to see if they would support the Constitution/2A if worse comes to shove?

I'm still curious how such a thing even happened in the first place? Did the Prez declare Marshall Law or something? I sure don't recall that. So under what authority did these clowns decide they could circumvent our constitution etc and confiscate legally owned firearms? On what grounds?

"We can't catch/stop all the looters, so instead we'll just take away your means to defend yourself from them". Cuz that makes so much sense. :tard:

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. They did it and there was nothing those citizens could do about it. And without receipts for what was taken...

Ok how about '**** you, arrest me'? If they just take them on the spot with no receipt or anything, you've got nothing to prove/argue later after the dust settles. If they have to arrest you, it's a paper trail and you get your day in court and the nice facist pigs, I mean officers, get to explain why they thought it was ok to ignore the constitution and steal people's property without due cause or process.

And did anyone say 'no get the **** off my lawn!'? What then? Send in the entry team to kill citizens who didn't want to give up their LEGAL means to defend themselves from looters etc the cops were obviously unable to stop? And why were they going door to door confiscating guns in the first place, instead of trying to restore order and stop looters?

And yet you hear comments from the anti-gunners saying people are 'paranoid' to distrust the govt and that they would never 'come and take your guns away'. They can and did. Disgusting.

Yeah, exactly. What are you really going to do?
If they come busting my door down, it's not like I'm going to shoot back against armed officers. Even if you were somehow justified legally, and you held them off, they'd send in the calvary and you'd never win in court later (if you lived).
I wouldn't exactly tell them where all my guns were either.
Maybe being arrested for obstruction would indeed be the "best" case...


It all goes to show you that it can happen, laws or constitution be damned.
