Exactly three years ago, the town of King, North Carolina had a hefty snowstorm. And the legislators took advantage of the crisis, to ban citizens from carrying their own guns outside their property, or even buying or selling them.
No explanation was ever given, for WHY there was more reason to ban guns during a snowstorm, than at other times; or even what connection existed at all between blizzards and firearms.
Now that a major storm is hitting the New England area, will more towns follow suit?
As Obama's former Chief of Staff said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
If they can just get people used to the idea that government has the authority to take away their guns whenever they think it's a good idea, they will be able to do it more and more.
The snow is falling NOW, from New York to Boston and points north.
North Carolina town calls snow emergency, so gun sales are banned...huh?

The snow emergency is over in King, N.C., but while it was in effect, according to published reports and a cursory glance at state statute, there was a curfew, restrictions on alcohol and a ban on the sale or possession of firearms off of one’s property.
When I called officials in King, the police department referred me to the mayor’s office, and the mayor’s office referred me to state statute. I don’t know what they call that in North Carolina, but out here in Washington, it’s called “passing the buck,” and that dog don’t hunt.
The inquiry was simple, and the conversation with a lady named Judy at the police department was pleasant. All I wanted to know was “What on earth does a snow emergency have to do with possession of a firearm?”
Only in Washington, D.C. do guns seem to come into play when people play in the snow, but then it’s only the cops who seem to pull those guns.
A blizzard? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's snowing so you can't have a gun. How do you get to your deer hunting stand without your gun?

How do you make up laws as you go that violate both State and Federal laws? That CCW that is issued doesn't expire because some liberal bedwetter thinks it's going to be snowy for awhile. How can they stop the purchase through an FFL? FBI is going to clear it as a proceed during a NICS.
Interesting, I have never heard of this town or this happening. Kind of a random sneaky move of the mayor.
Kinda like Mayors who jack people around getting a CCW in CCW "Shall issue States".... That means what's your reason? "I want it and I can"....Ok
The same d***head Mayor thinks the '94-'04 AWB is still in effect in his City, in which the whole State it is a green light. Ok, we'll make an exception for you. Yeah right, no one even cares. I hope the taxpayers of his city are prepared to fight a legal battle in court should anyone be arrested on said charges.
The funny thing is, no one has ever been arrested, much less tried on a violation since it appeared.
State Statue and the 2ND Amendment say to p*** off you wanker!

They also put limits on alcohol during the snow storm, seems like a rather ruthless regime.
That has to be a doomsday prepper hotspot, when there is bad news they seem to increase the hoarding rate, I think the mayor is just protecting them from themselves.

Liberals are people who believe that government's job is to protect them from themselves.
Conservatives are people who know the government's job is protecting them from others.
