Alabama Mayor Wants Emergency Gun Grab Measure

Alabama Mayor Wants Emergency Gun Grab Measure
SPECIAL
Mayor Leigh Dollar of Guntersville, Ala., has proposed an ordinance that would give police the authority to confiscate weapons in the event of a major disaster.

The mayor of an Alabama city has proposed a disaster emergency ordinance that would give police the authority to confiscate weapons in the event of a major disaster.

Guntersville Mayor Leigh Dollar says the ordinance would ensure a quick response in the event of a major disaster.

“By no means is it our intent to disarm or seize anyone’s firearms,” she told WAAY TV. “This is in there to protect public workers and any volunteers helping should someone become unruly–and it can happen because emotions are high–that it would give an officer that authority. And it’s only to protect people. We are not trying to infringe on anyone’s Constitutional authority.”

And there is the code word phrase I told you about Monday.  “It’s only to protect people.” All liberty-stealing laws are couched so as to keep people safe.

No word on how those people who have their guns taken away are going to protect themselves from looters.

    That’s an idea that’s going to go about as far as a motor-home on a gallon of gas.I’m pretty sure there are idiotic statements made everyday in political circles and this is just one of thousands.Not newsworthy unless they actually passed a measure of this type.

  • Vigilant

    “This is in there to protect public workers and any volunteers helping should someone become unruly–and it can happen because emotions are high–that it would give an officer that authority.”

    I’ll resist the temptation to launch a dumb blonde joke.

    Who the Hell does she think she’s kidding? The intent is clear. Someone may wish to advise the dumb mayor that law enforcement ALREADY has the authority to confiscate a weapon when they are being directly threatened, and you don’t need a cover-all confiscation ordinance to give it teeth.

  • Gary L

    This dingbat says “By no means is it our intent to disarm or seize anyone’s firearms,”
    What does she think confiscate means? It is during a disaster or state of emergency that the people will need their fire arms. This is idiotic.

    seems in every disaster the theives and low lives come out. june of 1976 a tornado hit emporia ,ks. i was in the mall when it struck it. there were a fess injured. i had a few little cuts. they still took me to the hospital for treatment. there was this story hor someone was caught running out of the mall with a shopping cart with a cash register in it. seems like in any situation like this there is always some dumbass lowlife pulling something like this. people should not be disarmed in cities w that get hit by things like tornadoes, hurricanes, earth quakes or other maladies. it always seems to be the case. they had the problem in new orleans with the hurricane. the thieves hit the city. people were disarmed. you can bet some of the thieves had guns and if innocent citizens were disarmed some of the lowlifes would had a free for all. it happens everywhere in these situations. let the law abiding keep their guns. instead pass laws on those who violate the rights of the innocent. make the penalties so harsh they’d be scared to do anything. scared criminals would think twice about doing anything.

      ” …you can bet some of the thieves had guns …”

      More than just some of them had guns. My oldest daughter was in one of the first relief groups to go into NO after Katrina and said at times it sounded like a war zone in certain neighborhoods. It was so bad her group had National Guard escorts for much of their work.

  • http://yahoo Rob

    AND…the definition of “Major Disaster” is????……..I’m sure the politicians would have many definitions………most likely a convienience for them…….think about that leaky bucket for awhile!

  • http://yahoo.com BillT

    If a major disaster happens, wont the police have better things to do then confiscate weapons. Also, if a major disaster happens, it always brings out the thugs, scum and punks. I would like to be able to defend myself.

    • Trouble

      Because this political [expletive deleted] pile is to “Protect the Government FROM US!!!!

    • ibcamn

      And that’s what they want,you to become unruly!they can then inturn say”see,we told you people would start shooting other people”or something like that!you need to vote that b#tch out!remember the dem stand with their own,thugs and theives!

  • steve in AZ

    See how wise our grandparents were? At the very least THIS woman verifies the old saying – “A woman’s place is in the bedroom… or the kitchen…”

    Her chief asset may be that she is nice looking.

  • securityman

    look people, she is just wanting to get the guns out of the peoples hands so that her theives and gangs can take your stuff without any problems.remember, the more they get the bigger her cut is. I will make the idiots a deal. I WILL GIVE UP MY GUNS, IF THEY WILL GIVE UP THEIR ARMED SECURITY!!!! now does that sound like a deal or not. let them put their a$$ on the line like everyone else does. then se how fast they change their stance on gun control. to me “gun control” is being able to hit your target right betwen the eyes!!!!!!!!!

  • John G.

    Their was a song that went something like; I dident know the devel had blond hair, and blue eyes. Today you sure cant judge a book by its cover, ” In the last days they shell say peace , and safty, but sudden distruction shell come upon them. We should not let ourselfs be deceived , Freedom is not free, ask our founding farthers, or should I say, follow their exampel!! This is a choise we must make as God fearing peopel. Iam fighting for our consatution, and our rights as a free peopel. If we give an inch thay WILL take a MILE. God bless you as your make that decision.

  • ROGER,Irish-Canadian LIBERTARIAN

    The typical TROJAN Horse or “Greeks Bearing Gifts”, no disrepect to Greeks as this is just a saying based on an ancient, but successful tactic

  • Nadzieja Batki

    Is she planning to create an “emergency”?

  • John

    I know a mayor in Alabama who is going to be out of a job come the next election!

  • wavesofgrain

    If I remember correctly, wasn’t it the police who were found looting and pillaging the evacuees property, also stealing guns? Public officials, supported by the taxpayers, begin to think they are kings and queens…with police as their army. I thought the police were paid for by the taxpayer to protect the taxpayer??? Now they are being used as “brown shirts” against the citizens. This woman should be confronted with her lack of loyalty to the citizens and her country.

  • Robert A. Mason

    What everybody needs to remember or be aware of is that she is going to be protected by an armed security force with guns during this disaster. Remember she is the only important one here, not you or I. Her elitist way of thinking is such that you and I are expendable, only her level and above are worth protecting during such times. She is banking on the sheeple or the imagined ignorance of her constituants to believe anything she says or wants to do. Whether or not it infringes on the Constitution. Remember their way of thinking is such that the laws they pass do not apply to them, only you and I.

    • Trouble

      Ya – How about pushing new laws and the same bureaucratic [expletive deleted] on government officials first and see how they would like it, put them fat, money grubbing, politic-running, Obama-loving, [expletive deleted] under the same “Rights ripped from your Chest” this very second that the government is pushing on all of us. I wonder if “They” would bend over???? I wonder if “They” would give up “Security”???? I wonder if “They” would like limits and control???? This “WAS” a Free States many years ago, Change is Bad. Not for them, For us.

  • Billy

    Is your mayor a trial lawyer?

  • Kentucky City Official.

    this mayor is about as smart as that dumb a$$ new orleans mayor during hurricane katrina. confiscating weapons from law abiding citizens does nothing more than leave law abiding citizens defenseless. i guarantee the mayor will be protected by guns. some peoples’ heads serve better as seats than anything else!

  • http://Firefox john Goult

    Come and TRY and take them!

  • czman75

    What a libtard whore!

  • Bob Z

    Isn’t that a violation of federal law? After the gun grabs of Katrina, legislation was proposed to PREVENT such an atrocity from occurring again….I thought it passed.

  • Barry Faltesek

    Oh no, I’m not taking your “Constitutional authority” away! Right! Yep, they always redefine the Constitution to do what they want.
    What rights have the liberals ever given up when they’ve taken so many away from us?
    Remember the Low-flush toilet.

  • Mike Austin

    I hope the good people of that town do a recall and boot her communist butt to the curb. She wants to see unruly? Try to enforce that unconstitutuional crap.

    • Robert Smith

      I have no problem with the police shooting an “unruley” knuckle head if they are waving a gun. Why is bad behavior any different in an “emergency” than on a Saturday night?

      Evolution in action. Wave a gun at police, get shot. Simple.

      Rob

      • Steve

        I have no problem with we the people shooting police involved in a illegal act.

  • USAF VET

    Here comes Big Brother, or is it Big Sister?

  • CZ52

    Talk about political double speak. First she wants the authority to confiscate anyone’s firearms during an emergency then she has the gall to say “By no means is it our intent to disarm or seize anyone’s firearms,”.

    • Robert

      It’s are fault these people are in political office we vote them in becaue they tell lies and are very good ast it . When they get in office the truth comes out! They’er all scum Republican and democrat we need someone like Rand Paul to stand up and uphold our constitution!

    • Trouble

      Well I guess “Harsh Words” will fend off a would-be attacker that’s breaking into my home and stealing while pointing a gun to my family. yeah-right……. step up and out of your fairy tale and back into reality people. I support the right to bear arms, along with the rest of the “aware” world, and their going to have a hard time taking peoples rights away from them-any for that matter.
