Senate passes limit on gun confiscation during disasters

Posted by David Hardy · 14 July 2006 03:11 PM

The Senate yesterday voted for the Vitter Amendment, an appropriations rider prohibiting use of federal funds to confiscate guns during a natural disaster. It now goes on to the House.

Vote was 84-16. You'd wonder that the 16 didn't even bother to pose as "we really don't want to confiscate anything, we just want reasonable regulation."

As to the 16, Bitch Girls notes that MassBackward should remember that he's among friends and can tell us how he REALLY feels.

UPDATE: Bitter's on a roll on this one, noting that Kerry managed one of his "I voted for it before I voted against it" moments.

Too bad it doesn't prohibit the confiscation of the guns rather than prohibit the use of Federal funds to do it. Doesn't that mean local law enforcement are free to do it again? I think N.O. P.D. probably still could have gotten away with it under this law as they can say they weren't spending Federal money for their actions.
