About the confiscation of firearms post-Katrina, it should be ridiculously obvious that that decision was a preemptive, anti-looting measure. Any other theory is just wild, unfounded, irrational conjecture.
A similar argument (an argument of safety) can be made about the deployment of troops to the Arizona border.
Beginning Oct. 1, 2008, the 3rd Infantry Division (United States)’s 1st Brigade Combat Team will be assigned to U.S. Northern Command, marking the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The force will be known for the first year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, and will serve as an on-call federal response force for terrorist attacks and other natural or manmade emergencies and disasters.
