And what if you wanted to take your multi thousand dollar collection out of the path of the storm?
Firearms are subject to a lot of regulation. That makes them expensive- They're also subject to the insanity of being regulated more every year.. that makes them more valuable EVERY year.
They wanted to prevent transportation of these valuable items right before a storm, during an evacuation?
I've got a finger for them.

YUP! I always tell people to think of it this way,, if these people are willing to break the law and murder someone , what makes you think they are going to abide by a gun law? And if you ,hypothetically, you take all the guns, then they will kill with knives, take all the knives they will kill with bats. As long as humans have been around we have been killing each other.

Well ,Jesus Christ dude. A hurricane is coming and they're telling people not to leave their property with guns. My first thought was some aholes with guns going to neighbors houses and sticking them up for supplies. We all know how Katrina panned out, amirite? So, what was soo ignorant about my comment?

You know what? You're right.
How stoopid of me. Here, im thinking that during/after/before a hurricane there would be looters and other bad actors robbing ppl for supplies they didn't have. I mean, why would the government want to prevent something that would never, ever happen- gun violence before or around the tme a hurricane hits for supplies. Gawd i feel dumb.
After sleping on it, i realized how wrong i was. Everybody helps everybody. Just like with Hurricane Katrina, right? Everyone helped everyone. There were no murders or people robbing other people. The only time there is absolutely no gun violence whatsoever is before/during/after a hurricane.
I am disgusted with myself for not thinking.
What is my penance? And will you forgive me?
