Is there justification for an emergency gun restriction during natural disasters?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Bobby and Sarge discuss a memorandum from the Okeechobee police chief where the city enacted an ordinance restricting gun possession and the sale or transfer of firearms and ammunition due to the approaching hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. This raises the question, is there ever an incident or natural disaster that would justify the government's decision to restriction the rights of the citizen? We know what happened when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. We know the government went door to door taking citizens guns. Would that be smart, considering todays political climate? Would todays Law Enforcement partake in such actions? Let us know what you think.
