Anti-gun zealots might use a real disaster as an excuse to order police to seize firearms and retain them for the duration of the "emergency."

The other, unstated, possibly un-realized problem that comes with confiscation of firearms..
Getting it back..

I had a simple pellet gun "confiscated" from my nephew..
( I owned it, he and a freind were shooting pigeons with it..)

The Police refused to return it to me until I could show "proof of ownership"..
Luckily, I was able to locate my sales reciept for the gun, or I would have been out one pellet rifle, valued at nearly a hundred bucks at the time..

A warning to all gun owners in areas where confiscation laws are enacted..
Make sure all your papers are in order.. You will be required to show your papers..

Oh, Yeah.. Demand a reciept for any and all items "confiscated"..
Make sure you get the name(s), badge numbers, etc., of any government employees involved in said confiscations...
Note the date / time of the seizure(s)

You will be required to have all this information in order to get your property back..
Even then, in some instances, you may require the services of a lawyer.. And even that is no guarantee..

How do we get the GOA or the NRA on this.

Cooper city is a den of democrats and those florida cities basically live by the philosophy hat all laws are constitutional until a judge (who lives in cooper city broward) says otherwise.
