V.I. National Guard doesn’t have enough guns and ammo to provide needed services during a predicted emergency without stealing more from private citizens. I recall Obama buying billions of rounds for millions of guns for non-military, non-law enforcement branches of the Federal government. I forget specifically where, but bet some Freepers can easily find examples. Trump should the Obama swamp’s agency warehouses and ship their non-2nd amendment protected arms and ammo to the V.I. and any other areas where the government needs them. Leaving private arms supplies for private citizen’s individual purposes as the Constitution guarantees, be it in Miami, Houston, PR or VI.
There is so much ignorance in your article, it is hard to begin.
1. Here in Houston, you can find flooded houses less than a quarter mile from houses that stayed dry. Please do explain how the license plate letters magically know the elevation of the house? Do they also pull rabbits from hats?
2. Your imaginary edicts of vague officials have no basis in legal authority and run afoul of real laws such as HIPPA where every name on the list would be a separate violation of patient privacy.
3. Please provide some detail on how to staff the “lots of people”... you going to skip the mandentory hiring process including the drug and background checks? You going to give a government badge and authority to trespass to any thug who wants it? The budget to pay for this comes from?
4. You begin this preparation days before the hurricane hits? Kinda like the Houston area authorities were in a panic before hurricane Katrina hit us... only Katrina took a hard right and landed in New Orleans.... the landing spot of hurricanes is not an exact science and the public is VERY unforgiving when authorities turn their lives upside down on a false alarm.
5. Robo call everyone in the area! Just dial 555-everyone! And the robocallers with that Capacity comes from? And more magic to know what language each phone owner speaks? So much better than the automated alerts on phones and TV channels that they use now.
Stick to sim-city
My nephew works and lives there. He said it won’t change much. The gun laws are very restrictive for law abiding people and the government looks the other way for the criminals.
Being a US Territory does the 2nd. Amendment NOT apply there?
The Constitution can be thrown out during hurricanes? Which amendment was that? I must have missed it.
Test run?
“So, the headline is a trifle misleading.”
They often are.
.
Try that with me and you will never see your family again.
Got to make sure citizens are not protected when the looters come.
Sure I will give them my ammo and guns, just not the way they would want me to.
Yes, likely. I knew a guy who was there at St. Croix in the Caravelle hotel — someone broke into his room and whacked him in the head while he was sleeping. Lost his job in the military because he lost consciousness and had to wait 2 yrs to get back on flying status.
I’m sure the demographic hasn’t changed since then.
I live by NRG Stadium, and we had a looter ride through on his bicycle. We stood in our yard and gave him hard looks.
He acted like he had a gun: brazen, unafraid, and seemingly daring people to confront him.
He moved on.
I was stated in another thread that it is a black-run government and white people are sh|t outa luck when it comes to representing or defending their interests.
True?
Wondering if:
Will the same actions repeat themselves in Puerto Rico?
I don't know, can't answer that one. Would be easy to believe in today's climate.
