Federal bill to block confiscation during emergencies
It's been reported out of committee. The Hill has the story.
And in case there's any doubt where some folks stand on the ultimate question of total confiscation:
"Joshua Horowitz, director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said there is a lack of evidence showing post-Katrina residents of New Orleans were under grave danger without their firearms. “There’s been a lot of hyperbole on this,” Horowitz said. “There’s evidence that the police were doing their job. It’s not for a gun control group or the NRA to get in there and make decisions."
That Horowitz quote is telling. Shouldn't the government have to prove a need before it violates an individual's rights? Not the other way around?
