More anti-gun craziness: gun seizure in natural disaster proposal
Where do some of these cities find these "leaders?" I guess a little legal research of consultation is beyond them.What these folks are considering is already covered by state law. Under the 4th Amend. officers can stop and frisk anyone for whom they have reasonable suspicion of being armed and dangerous. In addition, the proposed ordinance may be too vague to pass constitutional muster. Finally, the law is probably void as being inconsistent with a federal statute on this very topic, 42 U.S.C. sec. 5207.

As Tamara Keel often says in her "View From The Porch" blog, "Ignorance is no excuse for a law."
ReplyDeleteDefine "unruly". In today's world, that's readily defined as showing reluctance to comply with a stupid order.
Surprisingly, then Senator Obama voted in favor of a bill that blocked authorities from confiscating people's firearms during a natural disaster. This in the wake of Katrina's unconstitutional gun grab. One thing I've observed about this president, however, is that his politics are mainly driven for personal gain, not always doing what's right.
ReplyDeleteDes: Thanks for the great quote
ReplyDelete44: Perhaps he voted for it because he counted the votes and saw that a NO vote would be wasted. A chance not to appear to be anti-gun? Who knows?
Thanks to both of your for putting up a profile. Special thanks to 44 for taking the time to put up an interesting and detailed profile.
