They can have the ammo, at terminal velocity.

I can’t think of too many situations where you would need them more.

If I remember right New Orleans tried this after Katrina and got slapped down hard by the federal courts. The big question, since the Virgin Islands is a territory and not a state, are the protected by the 2nd amendment?

Half of American voters are convinced that foreign invaders deserve all benefits of the US Constitution....
So, no, AS USUAL, 2nd Amendment and other US Constitution “rights” are conferred on and denied to American citizens as individual law”makers” see fit.

The Second Amendment does not just apply to the continental United States and Hawaii, noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. It also applies to territories under U.S. jurisdiction. The issue is a fundamental civil right, not only to possess a handgun, but also to use firearms for self-defense purposes, which is currently banned in the Northern Marianas.

A very stupid order, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. It also begs the question: why doesn’t the local national guard already have in its possession enough guns, ammo and whatever else it needs to function? Liberalism run amuck.

Let me get this straight, the authorities don’t have guns or ammo and need what, a loaner?

Now, now, now. I think we can all rest assured that all criminals, thugs, horn-swagglers, cattle rustlers, bush-whackers, thieves, slugs, robbers, home-invaders, murderers, rapists, looters, arsonists etc. will turn in any and all weapons they have in compliance with this new order.

Them being a territory does not exempt them from the Constitution.
