"U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp signed an emergency order allowing the seizure of private guns, ammunition, explosives and property the National Guard may need to respond to Hurricane Irma.
I saw that. So the national guard is planning to shoot the hurricane?
WTF? So....they don't have enough guns/ammo to hold the peace, so they steal it from the citizens?
Who's the enemy again, the Governor, or the random looters?

Seriously! Does the Constitution not apply in the Virgin Islands???
No it does not. Samoans are not even American citizens until they apply. (Disregarding the fact that at least 20% of the male population are vets) Why? Because due to 1900s rulings, they are not sophisticated enough to understand how to be American. (Gross simplification, but in the correct wheelhouse.)

I don't know why but I initially read this title as National Virgins Allow Guard to seize Gun Islands
Bedtime for me, 3:45am comes early for work...
